Float bowl vent tube?

It depends on which epoxy you use. One type I use has to be hot cured at 96° C minimum (180°C max cure) or it won't be properly cured and is good to 120°C in normal use.

Actually.....She's my ex because she's a fat, lazy, petty, manipulative, religious nutjob and spendthrift, getting rid of her was an expensive exercise, but worth every cent.

Take me to the taxidermist, have me stuffed and use me as a hat stand (naked) at my ex-wife's house.

I made one at high school, we made the components as an introduction to the the metal lathe. I've never used it.

A Delta hinge perhaps?

Really easily.....Visualise a Watt and multiply by 1000 or if you need old terms visualise about 0.74 of a HP. For Newton Metres visualise about 0.1 Kg applying force at 1M. Simple. BTW a lot of the modern hot rodders do use kW and NM.

Why? Very strong...Yes, but brittle, cracks easy, corrodes easy and fatigue life is limited. Not a homebuilder friendly material. I'm thinking along the lines of your signature line......just imagine how easily a homebuilder can find ways to mishandle that material.

Warp Drive has one too, but after posting I found that neither of them factor forward speed. That calculation can be done using your rotational speed and you forward speed to get a vector. Generally you want the largest diameter you can get allowing for ground clearance and tip speed, then look at pitch to get the right airspeed. This get s a bit variable as draggy aircraft aren't as efficient, so some experience helps.

Funnily enough....There are some prominent scientists out there who believe that climate change is real that also think that the current climate change hysteria is virtually a religion.

Yes, but only if you are stationary. You will need to factor in forward speed as well. Culver Props has an online calculator. I'm sure you could find others if you look... http://www.culverprops.com/pitchselection.htm

I understand that stockpiles of dead solar panels are starting to accumulate and no one seems to know what to do with them, as they are currently mostly unrecyclable and toxic.

Food for thought.... Covers more than just Amazon on fire. You've demonstrated quite clearly that science and ethics are not your strong points, so good luck with the other two you mention.

I'd like to take this opportunity to suggest that we nominate Litespeed to be our most gracious, beneficial dictator and run the world for us...... He is clearly smarter than anyone else on the planet, and as such will save us form all that ails society, including Climate Chang or Global Warming (whichever you wish to call it), bushfires, drought, and will sort out aviation manufacturers and regulators, ensuring that all their engineering is flawless. Without a doubt he will also have the answers to all of societies ills as well.

I can speak for two of us that fly about double their quoted average, but I don't know of any others aside from a local instructor that would that would.

I have to say, I didn’t think they’d be that expensive, given that some scrap yard use that type of tool....they’re some of the tightest people out there.

I'm not sure if there is a specific Australian agent. My Ultra Efis arrived with European airports loaded to it and I had to deal directly with the people in Italy, who, I must admit were very helpful and immediately sent me the Australian airports file.

Then you'll have no trouble understanding why legislative drafting is related to this issue.

According the link I posted from the Qantas website, their BASE maintenance is done in Brisbane. Base maintenance is the major stuff. Cut and paste from Australian Aviation magazine: Somewhat less than the "many hundred" you mention Qantas head of engineering Chris Snook said the AD was “very deliberate”. “What we saw is what we thought we would see if a crack would occur,” Snook told reporters. “I think there is an integrity issue with the component on the basis there is an AD related to it. There is not an integrity issue with the structure. There is redundancy built into that structure. “The load limit on that structure hasn’t been compromised by this crack.” The airline had no 737-800s with more than 30,000 total flight cycles. Virgin Australia has said previously it had completed checks on 19 of its 737-800s affected by the AD and found no cracks. Overseas, there were about 50 aircraft that have been grounded after cracks were found in the “pickle fork” component, Agence France Presse reported. Other sources have suggested that it may just be a manufacturing fault with that particular component as they changed from a wholly machined item to a forged item at some point, and may just be related to certain batches. In any case, there is redundancy built into the structure, and they are removing anything with cracks from service until repaired so all the panic is completely unjustified

Well, the first three date back to 2014 and earlier, one is about having a maintenance depot in the US where they spend a lot of time, and the last about some 717 maintenance in Singapore, who also deliver high quality maintenance. It makes a lot of sense to have maintenance depots anywhere you might be travelling regularly.

Read the article.......

I think we all know the answer to that ........

We most certainly do.
