  1. I am taking it all with me. Like the pharohs did.
  2. Vaguely yes. It's a bit of a paradox-rather not "win" this game. It implies you have to die first.
  3. Wins what-death insurance claim?
  4. By observation I've see microfilm planes with a prop-speed of maybe 60 rpm. They stay up for hours on a few thousand turns of a rubber band. Never seen anyone extrapolate that to a pilot carying a/c.
  5. Of couse we believe you. It would have gone to Hawaii and island hopped to Australia. It's dark and lonley at night over the water. I'd be carrying half a dozen ELB.
  6. That's about what I paid for my house construction years ago. Doing it now, would be posting from a garden shed. Almost got a free house from Facthunter but lost on a technicality.
  7. It is totally silent because the prop chewed you up into minced meat anticlockwise.
  8. The winner gets the hanger free:yelrotflmao:
  9. That's if the prop is turning turning clockwise viewed from pilot seat.
  10. [quote="facthunter, post: 259828, member: 134" A twin comanche I owned VH LLV some years ago had done the trip from the US to here wth no hassles whatever. How did the comanche fly here? In the cargo bay of a Qantas 747:yelrotflmao:
  11. Why do people think a two stroke is less reliable. It has less moving parts, no valve and lifter problems. I prefer them to an air cooled 4 stroke any day
  12. C of p is used to unstall an a/c. If you stall, the c of p moves back causing the nose to drop. Probably saved a lot of people. Where things turn to disaster is when the stalled wing drops, opposite aileron is applied, stick is pulled back as the ground comes rushing up. I said it before, you just signed your death warrent. Practice correct recovery at 4000ft
  13. You want eyes in the sky able to do something. Usual scenerio: observe the transgression, report the transgression, nothing happens.
  14. Demonstrated luck doesn't mean you are a good pilot.
  15. A system that pulls up "erring pilots" easily need to be installed. Just talk, only provides entertainment.
  16. I generally find if no one is injured and no damage, then there are automatic processes to hush things up. If incidents are the norm, then accidents to follow are reality
  17. I know a guy who was welding at work an empty 44 gal drum that had fuel in it.. He and his leg were found in different places but they sewed it back on. Anyone for sewing lessons?
  18. I've seen an ordinary piston pump used, available at Super Cheap
  19. I notice a lot of free downloads are nothing but computer destroyers. Downloaded a free car workshop manual. Got all sorts of garbage downloaded but not what I wanted. Even after uninstalling my computer is not the same. Though downloaded the above without problem. [i think]
  20. I flew vets around the NT for a while and helped in the yard. They made use of sharp knifes during castration. Knowing how much that would hurt, I didn't stand in any lines.
  21. An electrician friend of mine had to do some work in a monastery and asked one of the nuns where the manhole was. She replied that there were no men here. [true story]
