    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

    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

    But ! . No milk , for your tea and mostly no sugar. And not a lot of meat . That we Australians enjoy . spacesailor

    Australian Designed Disaster ! . The ' P 76 ' that would load a 44 gallon drum into the boot, " for the farmers " . Anyone tried to lift that drum out ( of the boot ) with your fingers. spacesailor

    IS, There such a thing as fully " electrical " injection , for a two cylinder motor . spacesailor

    BUT. There seems to be an awful lot of faults in these new car's. Looked up ' Ford ' egr , lots of angst there. Mazda electrical problems . Same sort of numbers . Had to replace ' seatbelts ' in a 4 y o . Mazda 3 ! , what a problem that was. Everything had to be removed from the back of the car. Seats, quarter- panels, & all the trim around the boot to get at all the plastic fasteners. Imagine the price from a " dealership ' , plus $ 1600 each belt . ' makes me dizzy ' LoL spacesailor

    Now that's wrong !. The longer your hose the smaller the Volume getting through. The smaller volume will have reduced pressure. Happens when paint spraying with extra long hoses. spacesailor

    Only have " icing " when there's " moisture ' in the sky . SO SAID my test paper ! . spacesailor

    Makes sense. Only if you NEED/WANT a profit . Lower the ' fee's & charges ' so you Don't need to invest surplus funds. spacesilor

    My Delica will be an ' historic ' vehicle . IF, I can't bring myself to offload it . They were , earlier ( June ) selling for more than I pay'd for it 25 years ago ! . spacesailor

    BUT That Mazda motor doesn't stop when doing a gentle stop or if you use the handbrake At the lights. . spacesailor

    I've just looked at my daughters 2019 Mazda3 !. Four cylinders, but two cut out when in ' cruise ' mode, it also stops the engine at lights , when the brake pedal is pressed hard . Great for highway And town driving. spacesailor

    Similar to the trailer ' shackle ' fiasco. The pin , by law had to be yellow !. What a lot of yellow spray paint was sold . I mean the paint doesn't last long & a spray can Is the cheaper option. spacesailor

    Bell P-59 Airacomet

    But Frank Whittle did everything himself ! . And Without the financial backing he desperately needed . Hence the American involvement. And his LOSS . spacesailor

    I worked at a foundry , making aluminum ingots . All those aircfaft & parts , that we wish for now had Almost no value. No-one wanted that ' junk ' Then , we desperately needed FOOD . Brand new aircraft, never assembled, crate included, fed into furnaces. Also Harley & Indian motorbikes in crates went the same way. As well as hundreds of used odnance came by truck and rail. Sometimes we had the chance to go get it ourselves, seeing those Vast airfields & hangers full of ' everything ', That, We Want today ! . spacesailor

    Try 1/4 " ailerons up " . It works on Hummel birds & gives a few knots more speed without an increase in revs . ( perhaps less drag or something similar). spacesailor
  23. spacesailor
    Same here ! . So, no giving spare seats to our forum members. Up next is a helicopter. Do we try again ! , It , is , for charity. spacesailor
