    Yea Knowing some visual landmarks to know when to come out of the turn is Handy as the compass will miss read whilst still in the turn. (I'm probably falling into the trap of appearing to teach granma how to suck eggs at this point...sorry Danny)

    Danny, what's the legal requirements to keep your rating over there (here its a biennial hour with an instructor and 12 hours PIC in the previous 24 months which is a ridiculously low hours requirement imo) 7 months is enough to get Rusty for sure. I suppose you can look at it as having a slightly harder regime of RH Circuits in a high wing from the left seat will keep you on your toes regarding lookout but does of course mean a slightly tougher workload for you as you slide back into things. Best of luck.

    I suspect not in the early years, but like any organisation as soon as it reaches the size where lots of middle management types are being hired then the chances of corporate bullshit and arse covering taking over skyrockets

    Fan-bloody-tastic. I remember seeing the Mig29 OVT display and thinking yea thats pretty unbeatable, but when yo take the aircraft used into account this performance is right up there with the fighter jockey's stuff

    Go back and look at Bosi72's drawing

    Nobody claimed that. Fact is we have here a thread that has multiple interpretations of flight procedures and little consensus, including one post claiming in some circumstances its OK to fly in the opposite direction to everyone else whilst joining a circuit. We aren't talking about people making mistakes here, what we have is people stating different interpretations of procedures that are in their opinions the correct ones.

    Re: drones use in crop spraying, I know Japan and probably other countries have used large radio controlled helicopters in that role for decades, so Drone usage is certainly feasible. Perhaps a matter of area involved v cost differential of manned aircraft V autonomous or remotely powered vehicles

    That drawing sends a shiver down my spine

    Same in the UK

    The up-down thing Is to do with what hemisphere (north or south) you live in ...In houses on or very near the equator the switches are left for on right for off

    Hello Meglin, I remember you from some years ago in the UK Microlight forum (no longer exists) Your propellers always seemed competitive in price and of high quality, unfortunately I can only fit what is approved to my aicraft I wish you and your country well and hope there is light in your future

    Nev no need for the disingenuous waffle because you cant actually admit you said something that was mistaken (something we all do). The quote function is there in plain sight at the bottom of every post......1 click

    Nope still dont know what you mean..... repost the picture or quote the post containing this picture

    Indeed which is why I mentioned them, but going back to Pure piston Aero engines as discussed were there any that beat the Napier sabre in SFC?
  18. Red
    Deltic was a work of art, but as far as aero engines are concerned wasnt the Napier Sabre the pinnacle of Reciprocating engine developement? P.S. leaving aside the turbine compound wrights in B29s etc

    No idea what you mean re a hardened pin. ..and yes it does NEED a more powerful starter, which is why Rotax decided to upgrade it some time ago Poor starts kill the sprag clutch which is on many installations an engine out job
  20. Red
    Did you get any comparison pictures zg?, I could probably do with changing my old black starter for a heavy duty version

    Today I flew to Popham about a 240nm round trip nothing really to write home about except at about 45 minutes into the flight and despite really quite bumpy and thermic conditions managed to maintain control of my aircraft whilst having a jimmy riddle into the fabric conditioner bottle I keep for such emergencies and didnt spill a drop I have to admit the exercise gave me an enormous sense of accomplishment...and of course relief

    +3.9 is pretty hefty
  23. Red
    Yeh I guess Maximum, CuRrent and MiNimum (-) G loadings

    Yea they are just a resistor that affixs to carb body near the area where the butterfly is located, as much use as a chocolate teapot imo
  25. Red
    Seeing the pictures that's exactly what it is, I have done the same except with a shorter hose that enters the opposit end of the filter near the carb throat avoiding the loop...does the same thing
