I love it when someone gets a conversation like this going puts a bit of action into the forum:smile:

You see it fire up when someone like me in China comes along and says;

 

"You guys should come over here and see how real Democracy works..."

 

 

 

And - black could be baked at a far higher temperature, hence quicker, than other colours which got charred at higher temperatures.

Maybe he just charred the cars!

 

 

'scott me buggered.

 

 

This thread seemed to spring into life following what was meant as a simple JOKE.Since it has apparently begun to annoy people,. . .

Scott.

 

 

Isn't the day that the pressure matters, the same day that you flick the fuel master tap in the cabin, and starve the problem?

Well having actually seen how much and how far they spray, by the time you consider it and do it you already have a very serious problem. Some systems do come in a double pipe setup, outer sheath for safety.

 

Low pressure systems are fine it's just that none of the newer, lighter engines have low pressure systems so your back to square one, ie; older heavy, and not very efficient engines.

 

 

Hi Bex, in post #40 posted on March 29 . You said that in a few weeks your will make a announcement in regards to your engine. I was wondering if that "announcement "has been made. And if it has ? Where is the announcement?

I have had to modify and re-submit some parts of my IPR application 3 times now mostly due to language differences. You may be able to appreciate that patents must be word perfect. I just did it the third time a few days ago and decided to play safe and break it up into 2 IPRs to make it clearer as 2 'non-obvious' points overlapped each other. So now just waiting to get "Pending" status after final search then will describe what I am doing.

 

 

Berx, take it easy mate.

Actually grinning most of the time

 

200 people just died a stones throw away, 1000's hurt now and I survived the 2008 quake as well.

 

Life is good just to wake up without 100 tonnes of concrete on top of you and I remind myself everyday so lets all enjoy it.

 

 

I don't recall seeing them for under 1/3 of a TSO'd instrument, yet a car is readily available for 1/3rd the cost of a BMW!

A "1/5 the price of a BMW" Chinese made Great Wall car gets around just fine so that argument didn't work.

 

I care not what you write because they are Sh!t

Ummm, what? I have said many, many times "cheap crap", ie Sh!t.

 

Anyway, what idiot would buy a cheap instrument of such importance? Why aren't you directly attacking them? Mine aren't coming from Asia, an area with little aviation history and experience that's for sure, there's some things you just don't gamble with, do I look like a moron?

 

In all fairness these West-East arguments don't achieve much.

The daily sales of "cheap East crap" qualifies that statement well - what baffles me is that sales are going up not down.

 

Try this, just for the experience, hit yourself on the fingers with a hammer and see if it hurts, now consider if you want to do it again?

 

 

The Chinese Altimeters fail all 3 of those requirements but are very cheap in terms of initial cost.

Wow, what a surprise.

 

I personally agree with OME and would not spend one more cent on a Chinese altimeter until these issues are fixed..

Good for you but here's a question, did you or the person related actually spend more than one cent in the first place? I just can't get over people spending nothing and expecting everything and then whining in everybodies ear when they actually discover they got what they paid for. Stop buying cheap crap where ever it comes from.

 

If I was the Chinese Government I would ban the export of the crap, they have created a paradox for themselves by allowing it to go on for so long, ie; how do they sell a genuine quality product now with any trust? Recently the Government looked at 155 Chinese products that were complained about in American Consumer Affairs and proved that the Chinese companies had made the product to the exact specification demanded by the relevant American companies in 132 of the cases.

 

Would be surprised if you couldn't save at least 2-3Kg'sAndy

Avoid McDonalds and take your jumper off.

 

 

If Chinese manufacturers blah blah blah

Ironically I just had a tour of Dongfang 2 hours ago then came home and read this, Dongfang ("East Wind") one of the leading and most respected turbine manufacturers in the world, the word impressive doesn't even come close.

 

Turbine blades from 2 meters tall to one that I held and fits in my palm, they are literally works of art to behold

Surprisingly it still stands up true today even though it's a very old one.

 

 

I cant get enough of it. Its the same with Castrol R at a race track, lovely.

Yup, something about Castrol R (or other brands of mineral oil).

 

 

My engine is sitting on the bench waiting to start installation and the Jabiru is now out the aircraft and for sale.

Nick

Great to hear Nick, guess you're excited.

 

Is the engine noticably smaller than the Jab and will you make the cowl smaller if so to take advantage of that?

 

 

Easy, if you want it to stop raining;

 

Don't paint anything,

 

Don't wash your car,

 

Don't move house,

 

Cancel your first golf game in 3 months,

 

Tell the wife you will mow the lawn,

 

and pump your tyres up so no chance of a flat...

 

 

Hmmm. . . . better than paddlin down the creek in a rough cut punt I guess. . . . .

I'm leaving that one alone ....

 

 

. assuming you're not ROSTERED to feed the ROOSTERS for ROASTIN . . .

I heard he was touted to toast toads actually.

 

 

That looks nothing like a P51.

 

(but does look cool!)

 

 

It doesn't work, I typed in "fish" to Google Nose and my blind Grandfather walked past and said "Good morning Ladies".

 

 

Use some Loctite Red 620 on them.

 

Even Blue will work if that's all you have.

 

 

It's Friday arvo at 5pm and Pat the new bartender watches a man walk in and sit down at the bar and order 3 glasses of beer from Joe the older barman.

 

Pat watches in amazement as the man sips from each glass in sequence till they are all gone and orders another 3 from Joe and proceeds to do the same. After a final round of 3 beers the man leaves.

 

Pat asks Joe what the go is and Joe mentions that the man has been doing it for years and then realises no one has actually asked, all politely minding their own bussiness.

 

The next Friday arvo Pat is on shift when the man comes in at precisely 5pm and takes a stool. The man, as last time, orders 3 glasses of beer from Pat. being a hot day Pat says to the man; "Hi my names Pat, I'm new here and since it's a hot day could I suggest I serve them to you one glass at a time to keep them from going flat?"

 

The man says "Hi Pat, thanks but no need. I'm Paddy. You know I have been coming here for the last 3 years on Friday arvo and I get 3 beers because my Brother Jimmy is in England working and my Dad Jack is up in Scotland working away and every Friday arvo at exactly 5pm we all go to our locals, get 3 beers in honour of each other and it's like we are drinking together having our usual 3 rounds like we each shout a round, miss them I do and it's a great reminder of our family bonding"

 

Pat's quite impressed as a few of the locals who have listened in and Pat shouts Paddy's 3 beers.

 

This goes one for a while with the same old routine, 3 x beers and paddys on his way.

 

Some months later Paddy walks in looking in the dumps and orders just 2 glasses of beer. The whole pub goes silent.

 

Paddy drinks the usual 3 rounds of only 2 beers with his head hung low while other silently keep their distance. Paddy gets up to go and solemnly says to Pat; "How much for that lot then Pat?"

 

Pat replies; " No problems Paddy, on the house and might I say how sorry I am ...."

 

Paddy replies ...

"You're sorry? Bet you're not married to a bloody hag that's made you give up drinking!"

 

 

and on another tack, can you get the Chinese Government to tell that twat in North Korea that we REALLY DON'T want a nuclear war ?????

Chinese general public don't like him, they think he's an idiot.

 

Generally China doesn't support the DPRK because they never recognised or said thanks for all the Chinese soldiers that died during the Korean war and they didn't pay for all the weapons sold to them.

 

China gives billions in aid during Winter but that's simply humanitarian, families genuinely need oil for heating or they would literally freeze to death.

 

 

or my younger Brother Ho-Cha-Chu?

You're leaving openings for me Phil ...

 

"Ho" is pronounced "whore" in Chinese (no joke) and Chinese driver Ho Pin-Tung was talking to a few F1 teams a couple of years back including, Virgin!

 

Just imagine - Virgin entices Ho, Ho drives Virgin, Ho tests Virgin - could have been an endless line of them not to mention if he had got the drive with Renault and had an accident involving a Virgin or if he finished a race just ahead of one of Branson's cars - Stop press; Tung licks Virgin!

didn't your really attractive schoolmistress teach you ANYTHING !

You answered your own question there .....

 

speaking Chinese is seriously burggering up your Inglish

More truth to that than you know, when I come to Oz my family all have a go at me for speaking Chinglish!

 

 

I went to buy some camouflage trousers the other day,. . .but I couldn't find any. . . .

Reminds me, and true story...

 

I flew 15 of my family over for my birthday last year and we were all sitting in a big public park drinking tea while watching some sword dance people practicing in one area, some older people doing Tai Chi in another and some kids learning Kung Fu just behind us.

 

I pointed to an obviously empty area of the Park and said to the Family "You see the Ninja's practicing over there?"

 

- they all had a seriously good look and all aswered "No? .." to which I replied "Yeah, good aren't they ...!!"

 

 

Thank you Geoff, noted and appreciated
