No way I thought of it first!

I haven't actually flown it yet BUT I am trying very hard to talk him into giving it to me :thumb_up:

Damn I want a 912 Fisher so BAD now!

Thanks all, the SB surely has to be slippery compared to the WB. I really want a SB for cruising at (slightly) higher speeds but also really want VERY good STOL so wondering about configuration, that probably needs a different thread. That won't be a problem

I know this is an old thread just browsing on a Drifter search but SB drifters more draggy than the WB?

Go to your account... "videos" hit the select box next to your video "Actions" "Delete"..... BUT just leave it up for a while as they might open the video with the soundtrack deleted... :thumb_up:

Blocked by Warner Music Group....

anti-gravity device, look like F350 flares on a Lada:roflmao:

I hate these elaborate prototype promos, they are just looking for more cash to have some fun with ... not a single proof of concept video ... not much in there about fuel consumption... only 4 turbines :blink:There goes it's pay load in about 15 minutes Silent as a hot air balloon

Yep that one (two) was 2009 http://www.abc.net.au/news/2009-01-20/pilot-killed-in-light-plane-crash/271360

Patrick was it just a case of ordering one and installing or does Wayne need to to do other mods/testing etc ?

Constant and the same problem here Geoff, I tried putting tape on one side of mic, no help, thicker foam, no help, haven't used a wind dam or larger visor (though was just shopping the net last night for something suitable, except I like the taste of bugs so am reticent) had some success with just ducking low behind the wind shield...

Getting a park can be difficult!

Fly a plane with tandem seating arrangement, problem solved

Life...

Your buttons getting stuck Cfi? Is that 3 questions or just one

All good Frank... same, same.... it is the T for terminal that makes the A relevant for aerodrome as you say anyway... same result :big_grin:

A is for 'A'utomatic Frank. So this IS the way it works. Great discussion! :big_grin:

Sure, often associated with a trough line or front. Don't get me wrong I will reset as required from any info I can get...but none of this helps nunans as he still doesn't have a sub scale.... just set local and away you go. Yeh looks like it Scotty... but it does say received from 'external alt source' and you have to wonder why it would be changing that data back to standard if it was already set to QNH... perhaps EVERYONE is sending based on standard with calc occurring at RX. No encoder no alt TX... Interesting!

As i understand it, it depends on the type of transponder.... you need Mode C for CTA ops. If you are requesting a clearance for controlled airspace you will have to identify the ATIS and that also means setting the area QNH. I thought when set to alt the Mode C transponder displayed the alt from your altimeter (or encoder) as set by you, not just to 1013.2. If you are outside controlled airspace or Class E running a squawk on 1200 the same will occur (depending on transponder and alt setting), and they advise any 'controlled traffic' flying there of third party 'unidentified' traffic at a 'reported' altitude. I think that is how it works...

Exactly Nev 100' I believe.

Where is that from CFI? Local QNH is generally sufficient and you can not expect to get an accurate area QNH (quite different to the airfield you are sitting at) given that it is a forecast average with a validity period over a big area and not particularity relevant to many localities that we tend to fly (perhaps outside the J curve). If you are using the AWIS then you are getting the local QNH sub scale setting anyway. So if someone is on an area QNH from an ATIS and someone is on the AWIS local QNH they could be cruising at different levels... but they are both valid in RAA ops outside CTA. Moot for nunans purposes anyway with no sub scale... local QNH is sufficient, perhaps not acceptable to some but plenty sufficient. I don't get it

If you know the field elevation and set that while on the ground then you are setting QNH if you are on the ground and set ZERO on the alt you are setting QFE.

Wing over? Knife-Edge? Anyone who suggests it has no idea what they are talking about Hyperbole!

You would have to do a lot more investigation with the manufacturer, if that is possible. Even though it is just 'material' it does add significant structural integrity to the airframe. It may be possible to overcome that, I don't know how, as you are essentially building and flying a whole new completely different untested plane. Scratch build mentality... FWIW :big_grin:
