Without him you would have had no airline, so you would be sitting on the ground and probably complaining about the poor management of Qantas.

 

His salary is not set on the same basis as a person who works for $ per fixed hour week doing pre-arranged tasks.

 

He works pretty much the same was as a sales person on commission works; sell nothing, earn nothing, sell a bit grudging commissions, sell a lot and make a lot = bitching about how much you earn compared to the admin staff followed by a reduction in commission percentage.

 

Absolutely correct, except for the part where today's CEOs never seem to lose money when the company loses money,  but still got nothing to do with this forum.

Do you reckon he got a large Gift from Qantas.

What's this got to do with this forum.

It could be said current Qantas safety is more a matter of the legacy of the engineers that still get to work on them, most servicing is done elsewhere.

 

Actually 2 years ago the head engineer of servicing (whatever his position title) flat out rejected having any service work done in China after an intensive tour..

... He's a freind of a close friend.

Love Sketchup, draw the part, flatten the part with just a couple of clicks, export to .dxf with another couple of clicks, and ready for cnc laser cutting....

Lets hope my aluminium sheet arrives soon so the file can be used ...

I dont particularly have an informed opionion but will be flying in one next month. 

 

Can I have your Tecnam?

 

It is also fun, sticking it to the sky fairy believers.

 

Bless You.

"One would think with all this wit,

 

Well half of it anyway.

Maybe your getting the treatment you deserve. I have never had a problem, it would be a thankless job. 

 

"you're".

Even a full power on stall in a Sav is pretty beneign.

 

What wing profile do they use KC?

More like runaway threads

 

Yes, and I don't think that climate will change either.

I live in paradise Bex. 

 

Well it might be in 20 or 30 years when it finally warms up.

You could call it something like "In the Clubhouse", or "Around the Clubhouse Bar" to suggest that the content was more like the conversations we have at the end of the day's flying while sitting around relaxing with a drink.

 

Yes, one Car Race foum calls it "In The Pits", a Golf forum calls it "The 19th hole" etc ...

Oh craps, I've just realise what this build is for, he's trying to get to Australia!!

 

Even though smoking is not permitted in the passenger cabin you can smell the flight crew light up when they are taxying and the stench last till you deplane at destination. 

 

Most Asian men smoke, 99% of Chinese men smoke.

I used to swear someone was smoking somewhere on Chinese flights, but what it is, is the stench of all their clothes coming through the air con/air recycling system.

There is no smoking on Chinese trains by the way, so the azzholes all stand in the carriage joins and smoke, also the toilets of course. But absolutely not on the Bullet trains, they stop for about 2 mins at some stations and they all dive off, draw the hell out of a ciggy and quickly cram back on, really pathetic to be a slave to something like that.

Nice tone to a flying forum

 

That's why the suggestion that people will be able to not see it if they choose.

You can only talk about aviation so much ....

A solid reputation and highly reccommended in the American forums.

Those bloody Tasmanians, 390 of them Immigrated to Australia last year, blooody over-running the place, can't even speak our language  ... oops ... wait, different title ..

I want it back here.

Can you do a hide that subforum option if people want? I think the biggest complainers last time was seeing the Off Topic threads in "What's New" even if they didn't open any of them.

... but Sketchup is so much easier, and so much easier to see detail, important when you just spent the last day placing 1000 or so rivet holes!

 I’ll say it softly hear as to not upset anyone.....

 

sketchup

 

Ok, here's 3D MAX and Rhino 4.0 so i don't upset anyone ..

5. CNG is not "virtually extinct". Around 35% of Perth's 1475-strong public bus fleet runs on CNG (512 CNG buses), with CNG proving to be a very suitable product for use in diesels, with very low emissions and increased

 

... every taxi, and we are talking 10s of millions of them, most buses, and most commercial mini vans as well as private taxis and many cars in China run on CNG.

There is about 1 CNG service station here to every 2 petrol stations in China.

It is about 1/3 the price of petrol (petrol is only a little cheaper than Australia here), and partly why I can go across town, lets say 10 to 15 minutes, in a taxi for about $2 to $3. .

I must not have made my point clearly. I like subaru but not the diesel which should never ever be used in an aircraft. 

 

Clear, I was addressing the people you were refering too.

The fact that subaru (I am a fan)  appeares to have dropped the diesel boxer will not stop some wanting to put one in an aircraft.

 

What about the terribly heavy weight and the crankshaft breakages then?

 The light weight for power would mayke such an engine attractive,even if fuel consumption is higher at high rpm.

 

(Mazda) Rotarys are not light, that's a fallacy that never sems to go away.

Nor are they, Mazda, powerful for their weight.

 

 

 

Many years ago I read of people experimental Rotary engines that tacked a third rotor onto the Mazda Rotary, apparently easily done.

 

Mazda made a production 3 rotor rotary, it's called the 20B.

I have little knowledge on the subject, but it would seem to me that a tractor setup supplies the air flow required to excite the autgyro blades, even looks like a lot of fun ..
