The Unforgiving (née Impossible) Turn.
facthunter replied to Garfly's topic in AUS/NZ General Discussion
Headwind makes a big difference to height/ distance relationship on climb out. Many turn backs result i loss of control. Shallow bank angle reduces the chance of getting back. Don't learn how to do this on U tube.. Nev -
Fastest Piston engine is service at the time. They flew in Korea.. Nev

Wanna Fly STOL in Part 103?
facthunter replied to jackc's topic in U.S.A. FAA FAR Part 103 and Basic Flying Machines's Topics
In the 60's the DH82 Was removed from being classified as an initial training aircraft. You could still teach spins aeros and t/w endorsements. Nev -
The VC 10 was called the "IRON DUCK". Nev

The feel of the Plane, It's controllability, look and sound are all part of the aura. IF you're aim is to get to places and back ON TIME use a Jet and even they are delayed by weather sometimes.. Nev

A GEE BEE goes fast enough. On larger planes the drag would be similar All cylinders are the same Bottom end is more complex so is ignition timing as the stroke is not the same in all cylinders.TBO is comparable with anything else. Reduction gear is sun and planetary Thats the best. Nev

Learn in something similar then off you go for Pt 103 or just teach yourself (which I don't recommend). With a bit of experience you'll manage it. Nev -
A Cam Ring is used in most of them. Sleeve valves have their own special problems. It's a wonder they work at all. Nev.

Short crankshaft and the Big end is lightly loaded in cruise. Even length intake pipes and easier to cool and supercharge It's a completely different feel and SOUND.. Downside. A bit hard to oil scavenge. That has to be done right.. Nev

That's how it works. Nev

Great instability in the Auto world. .You'd be surprised at the other alliances out here. Nev

Sleeve valve motors have trouble cooling the heads. Nev

Chrysler isn't It. Fiat is made by Chrysler. . GM pulled out of Fiat.Nev

They have the capacity NOW. Remember when JAPAN car wasn't much..? It's ALL much more high tech now. Trouble is if you don't watch they will cut corners. There's a lot of Chinese Parts in makes you wouldn't be aware of. Anyhow, how good is a JEEP/?

It might be better to see why it's hot. The Motor is new isn't it? Check the gauge. Is the motor tight at all.? Climb at a faster speed. When the engine is shut down does it bounce off compression as it stops.. Does it have Blowby? Nev

Some Race Car engines were designed for 3,000 Kms. Big trucks for much longer. What's t he point of even a 500 hour drone engine. It could be designed for a never to be rebuilt situation saving weight and cost. Nev

China's doing alright isn't it? Nev

How's your Transfer cases going? and the rust. Nev

Lugging fuel to your deserted airfield……

Aviation?? Is this an Aviation forum.? Nev -
It depends on which Power range you want to work in. The Lycoming is a bit bulkier and heavier and has the camshaft over the top causing a few corrosion problems but going to the Higher Power It'd be the Lycomings mostly all the way. Nev

Yeah I know, where the Kangaroos are. Not Austria. Nev
