IT & OTHERS 

Were ' registered flying " HummBirds " . Just a "  Bureaucratic " wave of a pen ,

To remove a certain ' aircraft ". Those with ' time ' in service were " grandfathered " .

Those registered aircraft , without time, will have to be reconfigured for a different category. 

Or used for display purposes. 

One out of 18 builders,  I know of , one reregistered .

Only the " A-17-626 " . Is on the fuselage,  

So is it the rgo number , or .is it something else . ( is a none registered number allowed ).

$82,000

My nephew is an. " Emirates "  airlines pilot & is still below the 40 years .

Makes him younger than my oldest ' grandson ' 43 years , with his 13 year old son ! . ( not the eldest Greatgrandson ) .

Mostly in the forward view, for both take- off and landing . Until they put the tail-wheel up front .LoL.

I have been advised " that the exhaust silencer Is Not required " with a " turbo " . As it chopps the highs of the noise, by way of that spinning turbo,  & that silencer  is slowing the gasses

Passing through the turbo .

I haven't tried it yet ,

but have seen one with only a ' particulate filter ' only .

it wasn't that  much louder .

spacesailor

That's a goog reason to hold , until you have a positive diagnosis. 

As long as you refrain from doing anything,  detrimental to your health .

Over the " pond " .

An ' epileptic  ' had a seizure  at work , and was told if it happened again he would be dismissed for ' failure ' to take his ( male )  medications .

much later that year it happened again .

And he Was dismissed. 

His union Tried to get that dismissal overturned to no avail,  as he was given " written notice  " .

Concerning the importance of being Medicated while working with machinery.

Sounds like ' you're a surgeon '

This Oring is SO tiny 6 mm OD . Maybe 3 mm ID. & 1 & a bit  thick .

spacesailor

I used a ' crochet ' hook !, & found the Oring was split . Now I know why it keeps a steady drip .

spacesailor

Too big for that ' size ' Oring .

spacesailor

But ! , That 'simple ' remove the Oring, is hard , to get a grip on it .

Can a ' pin ( needle ) be used to get under the rubber ring .

Without damage .

Then were, to buy a new " Oring " .as it has to be petrol proof. 

spacesailor

But how do you get the  o ring

off .

So  ! . Not fit for purpose . Therefore I should have a refund or replacement. 

Then , that postage cost , wipes out most of the refund .

spacesailorl

NOT that visible. 

Was going to return it but they never answered my email .

So have to wear it.

spacesailor

The wages of a pilot ,.

Compared to the ' computer programmer ' plus ' Console operator ' plus all those 'cheap ' " robotics " .

Were , will be those savings .

Parasites!.

POLITICIANS. 

Never produced anything.  But Always feathering their Own nest First .

Politicians ' person with the  ' gift of the gab ' .

I read those remarks many years ago , in an English news paper .

Toilet reading . LoL

spacesailor

There you go : 

After buying Two " Curtis N,P.Taper valves!.

only to receive " N.P.Straight valves. 

The first returned but no postage . Gets expensive .

The second one doesn't return my messages .

So I will try " Skyshop " . Why don't they use English : Taper or Straight .: instead of ,

Curtis N,P,T, 1550 .

" Such is life " 

spacesailor

Bay of Islands N Z.  Is the world class sailing place. As good as the Whtsunday Islands .

Enjoy ! 

spacesailor

So !.

Such a little thing as changing the " fuel collator drain valve " to a "  none " tso'd cheaper or available type , Will void your " aircraft " approval.  Only for your insurance .

( I have been trying to get a replacement "  Curtis 1/ 8" N P taper " ) .

Second line : " the boilers " .

Water tube or fire tube !.

AND NOW ' Flash Boilers ' do not need a "  certified fireman ' to operate,  And again can be .

"  Fully-Automated ' .

Another three $ 20,000 a year workers gone , to a $ multimillion ' computer ' .

spacesailor

A turbine , only need a valve opened for it to spin .

The  boilers on the other hand need to be " fired up " hours before , and as they know when they will  be called on, they , (  bureaucrats  ) , who run the show,  ' Should have done their ' job.
