Well, he's still acting. Brilliant in "Shrinking". -
Video of Stratolaunch carrying and dropping the TA 2 hypersonic test aircraft. Worth a watch! https://youtu.be/9xTvKx5uCKg?si=Vwxt_w2JfTLPdVhQ

Well, it's an engine, and it powers a prop...

Were you the bloke who wrote that Kevin Bloody Wilson song "Dictaphone"? https://youtu.be/MQpxngH46wI?si=i-eygav1IYMJq3iY

I think the bottom picture may be an off-brand Lego version.

How come "ENGINE" says "1 x M14-PS" when it seems to have one on each wing?

Just watched this, it's on SBS on demand. Guy Martin learns about jet engines, trains in a Jet Provost, builds a model jet engine in one day (yeah maybe) and finally gets to fly a DH Vampire around the Swiss Alps. Good watch!

Oh, thanks, but she's not in that shed. Up the road in a bigger one.

Nice welding!

Fantastic, thanks guys. How about general logistics about starting... special equipment, ground etc? What I mean is, my plane is currently in a farm shed. The paddock in front of the shed slopes down slightly - there's no flat land. Currently hosts a flock of duck. My general plan is to roll the plane out til it's clear of the shed, shut the doors to avoid blowing everything around behind the plane, tie the main gear to trees/fenceposts, chock as well, put the wings back on and prep for starting. Are there other considerations? Is it best to peg down carpet under the plane or is that more of a risk than it's worth? Guessing it's a good idea to rake away any gravel / sheep shit etc in front of and around the plane first also? Any hints and tips would be appreciated, thank you.

Yes I wouldn't pressure test the tanks. This is my question though, is it standard practice to pressure test the rest of the fuel system?
-
Any advice on the necessity / tools / process of pressure testing the cooling, fuel, oil systems?

Not a good look for CASA. Approving a flight which they knew was going to land on the racetrack when the only possible direction to land in took the plane into a no fly area.
