A lot can't stand others enjoying themselves with planes and bikes. Nev

interesting comment that - would nt worry me (nor most of us) having aircraft whizzing around at a strip

but bikes (in particular moto X) (road bike get an unqualified exemption Nev)

any moto X bikes blipping (for want of a better word) all afternoon can be very annoying and tiring (except I assume if you are on the said moto X bike doing the blipping)

no pun intended I assume spacesailor

in 14.5 years I could be burnt at the stake as a heretic ........... but I think any person that thinks a future society will have flying cars must have a deluded psyhcosis that stems from the Jetsons - probably a parental / paternalistic feeling of nurture & comfort as George ? Jetson blits off to work. Tommorrow I am prepared to wager $ 10,000 that a flying car spciety will never exist

Ikea - which store ?

Its great you can live in a country (Oz) - own a 12 cylinder car and get a pensioners rebate on the E-type jag (if that is true) - means you can still throw the lawnmower in the back and go out and earn some pocket money

There's a Seniors Card concession too.  So how about "Pensioner Special" for single seaters?

Are you not seeing that menu bar on a PC screen?

Yes Ian 

a PC screen (big puta screen) ............................ not seeing that menu bar

I might be a dinosaur

the thing I don't understand is where is the site layout Ian

the first video In your video Ian) says there is a side bar which shows the site layout / forums

Ian - can you explian in monosyllabic diction where the side bar is (aint nothing on the LHS of my screen - but a coffee cup)

thanks

suffering from a mild technical anomaly - after critical analysis using complimentary spanners and hammers .......... it has been decided to file the project in the big square bin out back

if low flying is legally taught - it is in a defined area / zone where there are no dangerous low obstacles .............. such as wires

there is certainly a curiosity about flying low when you are a low hour pilot (generally speaking) 

a low flying area helps pilots to start to contemplate, consider and comprehend the dangers  

good to see its got 2 nose wheels R750

Did somebody just mutter, “correlation does not imply causation”?

............................ if you dropped a rock on your foot - the above statement holds logic

thanks for all that peoples  - I'll add I think for the turbo - the intercooler needs to be in there as well 

cooling down of intake gas and fuel ? before it goes in the engine 

I'm going back to that book where I mislead it or I misunderstood it 

(I still think ? the Luftwaffe climbed to have the height advantage for speed / gravity - to get some performance)

so Loonybob / and others - are the facts about Luftwaffe and say USA aircraft performance correct ? - via my crude technical ability

Did Luftwaffe craft perform not as well at the higher altitude and if that is correct what was the thing that determined that ?

ta

On the subject of P47’s and WW2

Reading my last book ……… the Luftwaffe did not have much access to metals such as nickel so their max boost (super or turbo ?) for the ME 109 and FW 190 was say 18000 ft where as the P47 & P51 was something like + 24000 ft

The height at which the B17 flying fortress flew at - + 24000 ft

A distinct advantage to the allies and their bombing campaign in Europe. A distinct disadvantage to Luftwaffe pilots who had to get up to the B17 height

Not something well considered by many ? – these crude technical comments are made for discussion !

......... there an opening here for a 'vegan' / vegetarian roadhouse

don't think its XPS - its EPS (expanded polystyrene) 

4 engines - DC8 ?

There seem to be 2 groups of people in this landscape:

Group 1 - these people - their pulses race with words like AGM's, boards elections, board member, associations, incorporated associations, diplomatic, elections, constitution, nominees ......... etc

Group 2 - this group just are not interested  

Group 3 - and other groups, in case this is to much of a generalisation

Group 1 - love throwing rocks and will keep throwing rocks at group 2. Group 1 thinks Group 2 is at fault for not participating. Rock throwing is obviously contradictory to diplomacy. Rock throwing is the same fault that Group 1 thinks .............. Group 2 has 

Group 2 - usually never react - because probably there was no reaction in the first place. Rock throwing is not a provocation to Group 2. Group 2 does not think Group 1 has a fault - generally Group 2 never even considered any one had a fault at all

the govamin will shortly be mandating a 7% wage rise for all building bound employees

first, all windows will have to 'blacked' out (white is also becoming acceptable)
