    Just wash the engine down with degreaser and water and dry out. Run for a couple of minutes only and oil leaks will glisten in your torch light at their source.

    Don't cross any roads-everybody will ask you why you did it. Not worth it.

    Had that problem on another piece of machinery. Is the seal moving. The easy ones to get out are a press fit and should have some sealant glue to hold it in place.

    You know why the skeleton did cross the road-to go to the body shop I don't think the chicken really knows where it wants to go.

    Amazing, I'll have to write some more:oh yeah: Why did the chicken cross the road in the first place, contemplated by famous people: Colonel Sanders- I missed one? Bill Clinton-I did not cross the road with that chicken! L.A Police Dept-Give us 5 minutes with the chicken and we'll find out. Albert Einstein-Whether the chicken crossed the road or the road moved beneath the chicken depends on your frame of reference. Saddam Hussein-It was an act of rebellion and we dropped 50 tons of nerve gas on the chicken.

    I would't want to be tailgating him-that gives me an idea for all those tailgaters.

    Why did the piece of gum cross the road? It was stuck to the chicken's foot.

    Was he runway limited? It looked as if he was trying to use as much of the runway as he could. I did those sorts of landings for two years.

    Adrenaline rushing thrills happen under the covers - they require good navigation skills and excellent stick control.

    Don't want to take flying lessons from Hollywood. Every movie there is at least one engine failure or crash.

    I know pilots who wont fly homebuilt a/c and one off owner design. You really have to know what has been good or bad construction and design.

    Doesnt matter if you round out a bit high. As you are holding off, let the a/c SLOWLY sink. If you do touch runway early you will get no or small bounce. I round out high with a/c I have not flown before. Have a bit of extra speed up so you have time to do that fiddle while you are holding off. Otherwise the a/c will stall while you are still a bit high. Seen a Cessna round out and stall from 20 feet. The wheels spread out like it was doing the splits.

    Black box recording reveal what airline pilots talk about. Prior to one big crash the pilots were discussing the price of tomatoes. Now they are coming up with "acoustic sterile cockpit" during landing etc

    Sounds like my last night out.

    You move in high circles, Tomo [i do too, but only when Iam gliding]

    If you dont have an instructor, self flagellation works just as well.
  20. Sapphire
    I guess an object in the air is either flying or falling. To fly you need lift and to fall you only have drag. Seen some a/c fall into the latter at times.

    Nice invention. Can also measure the glide angle of a brick.

    They tell you to round out on attitude [not with attitude] For me that is not the only clue. I imagine that my feet are sticking out of the bottom of the a/c and I am going to land on my feet. Thats where I round out and works on the small ultralights-oviously not in an A380. For a Jabiru type a/c round out a bit higher

    Your're too old to fly only when you are pushing up daisys

    There is one shed 3800 sq ft. Great for my dream Weedhopper.
  25. Sapphire
    Not if you need 15000 feet [weedhopper?] Might do in 15000mm with a good headwind
