    Move the ' horizontal stabiliser ' to give a better result , on the ' elevator ' incidence. IF your design allows such adjustments. spacesailor

    Shouldn't the ' fuel burn ' be more important than just " piston " engine ! . I mean , a Cessna six cylinder has better fuel economy than that same ' airframe ' running a " turboprop " engine . ( Ltrs er hour. ) . spacesailor

    METRIC. A French system. To rule the world . Removed the " Greenwich " meridian , the new meridian is Paris France. Removed the ' standard ' calender. The new " Republican calander 1793 " which stopped the Catholics finding their Sundays for " mass ". 10 hours a day , 100 minutes per hour 100 seconds per minute. Only three countries are imperial! . United States . Liberia & Burma. renamed Myanmar. SO Why does the USA call ' their System ' Imperial? . spacesailor

    I went to a ' heart specialist ' . When I asked ' if ' there was something wrong . They answered. It's all in the cloud. So I cancelled my next appointment, & I feel much better for it.( never had a heart test since). spacesailor

    Why do most pitot's have the bent piping , If you use a straight pitot with a bent plastic elbow , shouldn't it work the same ? . Pipe- elbow , tubing , Instrument . I just thought about Mr King's H bird modification. Straight piece of alloy, That screwed into receptacle. spacesailor
  16. spacesailor
    I bought a ' simple ' static , from A S ,and like you say $ 16 for very light ' bent alloy tube ' , with $ 32 for postage . The post-packet weighed more than the ally tube . Yes , I tried unsuccessfully a lot of times to make that tube bend to it's 90 deg shape . I have seen a modified ' pito tube ' on 19- 1944 Hummel Bird . spacesailor

    All this ' helmet ' , argument's , IS THE SAME AS the 1960's argument. When England enforced all motorcycle riders to wear a helmet . OR, In my case, don't ride if it's so dangerous. spacesailor PS When Are they , going to outlaw , " passenger trailer's " .

    I have a ' phone-camera ' , but when photographing wild-life, they're gone before the pics in the bag , ( bag for removing old-style film ). So not as good as a " box brownie " . No set up and no focusing. spacesailor

    That's the worst of ' front-wheel ' drive , everything in the one place . spacesailor

    Talking of fore & after c g ! . A trijet lost elevator control , ( worn worm screw ) & only just made a landing. Could using ' pax ' to move C of G to enhance Flyability. It seems a little far-fetched that All those ' searbelted people ' would not help ' themselves ' to keep ' Their ' aircraft in a stable' flight configuration . spacesailor
  22. spacesailor
    WELL !, There you are , And no " dashcam " to record it . Funny how those prolific cameras , are not there when needed. spacesailor

    OR They went smaller ! . Just DNA , chemicals AND the best ' AI ' ever , to bring a " humanoid " all seeing Godlike being to ' life ' , to gather ' intel ' .On our Animal world . spacesailor

    Same thing happens at the Oaks. Landing ' Camden ' aircraft over fly the Oaks runway. Trainees are told to keep their heads down & never go hight than the circuit hight . spacesailor

    Injection was on some small ' two cylinder, German, ,water-cooled- two-strokes ' . Possibly the forerunner of " Rotax " as it looked the same , a little under 600 cc. And with separate oil Injection , just like Rotax 582 is today . spacesailor
