  3. Don't rely on the OLD compass , you could pass over an ' anomaly ' . And do they last forever ! . Without a periodic ' oil-change ' . LoL spacesailor
  4. Interesting read !. Were did all these mysterious anomalies come from so suddenly ! . AND if only small , on a longish flight , wouldn't it cancel itself out after passing the anomaly. spacesailor
  5. 9G That's a lot More than most aircraft wings can stand!. My Hummel is 6 G . So at 9 G the wings drop off . spacesailor
  6. BUT Every compass is different, hence you Have to ' turn " the aircraft or boat , to all four cardinal points of said compass & write that error on a " proper " card. Not just a scrap of paper ( tea bag box is a strong cardboard ) , cut to fit in the appropriate ' holder beside your compass . ALL very ' old school ' , just in-case your " gps stops working ,! & your brain retains the knowledge to use mental arithmetic spacesailor
  7. DEVIATION. ! . ( card ). A' card ' with the error ' written on it . To be used at each " compass point " . .to correct the known error, out . spacesailor

  12. Does it ' cut out ' those exorbitant postage costs . That double your purchase price, IF it even gets delivered. I am in need of " wicks " anchor nut ' ms21069 ' 6-32 ( the smallest ) thin 5/32 thread with two 3/32rivets . Cheap as chips until that postage hits . spacesailor

  18. ' I only went for a tinkle ' . And the discussion was about " changing filters " . Oh sheet , I crapped there again . LoL spacesailor
  19. We " Mitsubishi Delica " owner's often put an extra oil filter in , as the factory one is in a " dangerous " position, right above a bolt shank , so easily pierced. . One filter or two kits , with little difference in the price or fitting. spacesailor
  20. Windows was of No use ! , without that little " Dos " program. DISK OPERATING SYSTEM. Invented by a couple of young students. It enabled the release of having two ' floppies ' doing the ' memory work . Simple " Basic " language. spacesailor
  21. I' m waiting for that day When, someone really needs a original " windows & Dos " floppy !. It comes with an Old desktop p c . spacesailor

  24. AHHH I'm told by those afflicted, wearing an ' external catheter " is so relaxing, no worries on getting to the loo on time . spacesailor
  25. Just imagine!. Incontinence, many men need an external " condom catheter " , Put it on before that long flight ,then relax , EMPTY the ' collection bag ' at your convenience. spacesailor
