    Peter Drinkholder came up with the idea of having holes in things where you could put your coffee cup etc.

    Not long after buying my J170C I had a bad landing, got into PIO (pilot induced oscillation) and so I hit the throttle. There certainly was a strong yaw to the left but maybe the pitch up was masked by the porpoising I had been doing. Thank Heaven I had been taught about PIO during my GA training. Lesson learnt; Don't rush your landings!!!

    I think this topic should be taken behind the tractor shed at lunch time and sorted out there.

    If your Jabiru was re-registered as a GA aircraft, you'd be able to fly it under the GA rules as a GA pilot.

    Place a pin head equal distance between each object. The one with the greater mass will attract the pin head to itself having more gravity than the object of less mass. Do I get a star stamp on my hand?

    I think one or two are deliberately antagonizing some others and those others should not take the bait. We all know there are clever folks among our ranks and there's possibly a few dummies. Let's put this to rest now and move on. 🙉

    I'm dazed and confused, but; An object with a mass of 3kg will have a weight of (about) 3kg on Earth. Gravity changes a little depending on where you are on the surface of the Earth. The mass never changes, no matter where you are in the universe.

    Squelch is confusing to non radio nerds. Some see it as a sort of 'sensitivity' control. It is not. All you do is set a threshold at a point so that background hash is blocked and radio transmissions are not. Any transmission that is 'above the background noise' will open the squelch and be heard. If weak transmissions from distant places are getting through, just wind up the squelch setting a tad. I fail to see how squelch will have an effect on audio quality. You could try a different head-set. If the quality is better, investigate your head-set.

    If you push a box across the floor at constant velocity you are exerting a force - just enough to overcome friction. If no force were applied to the box then friction would slow it down to a stop. In a vacuum however, with the force removed the box would continue in a straight line at constant velocity.

    You can have a mass of 0.3kg but on the moon that mass will weigh only 0.05kg if my memory serves me correctly.

    It could be that nobody knows anything and are just getting stuff from Google. I see these same sorts of posts in a few other (non-aviation) forums. I'm one of those folks who know a lot about nothing and a little of everything. Just clever enough to get by and not lose an eye in the process.

    God, I hope this isn't in the test....🤥

    Have a look at Proverbs 25:24. Makes me laugh...

    I know morse (Ham Licence FULL call) but can't make sense of that. No spaces between letters... ..._ _._ ..... _._ _._ ...

    Years ago I went out with a hoity-toity girl who dragged me along to a cheese fondue. There I sampled expensive wine and cheese. Some of the booze was $100 a bottle, some of the cheese was $50 a kilo. Anyway, I took my Mount Rufus port and some cheese I got from Bi-Lo (now Coles). My input to the table did not raise any eyebrows or cause folks to comment about how crappy it was. In fact, some of the expensive booze I reckon was taken from the floor of a horse float.

    When I have had a bottle of port I am right there with you...

    I'm glad I am on the way out. Too hard to figure out the way things are done these days...

    I logged on at 8pm local and could not find the latest versions of the manuals.
  19. Jabiru7252
    What version of Windoze are you using? Have you done a system restore? Do you keep you system up to date?

    When windows 95 came out (in 1996) I lost the CD. Yep, it disappeared off the face of the planet. Found it twenty years later inside a book. A book on circuit analysis that hasn't been used since the seventies. I lost 5 years through stress and frustration over that. Your hinge will appear, perhaps in a bowl of soup in a restaurant in Iceland. But it will turn up.

    Any idea on conditions? Gusty, lumpy? Foxbats are easy to land apparently.

    If you're keen enough you could get a small audio amp + speaker from Jaycar and feed the headphone audio into that.

    Oh No!!! The National Tiles advert - I HATE it. Great video though, that rotating jig is cool...

    Turbo props have far fewer parts than pistons engines. What makes them so expensive? I want one just for the sound.

    With your glider picture, the seat cover and grass look so similar it appears as though there is a big area cut out in the side of the glider. My brain playing tricks...
