    Not really much Inertia compared to the thrust they generate in thew FAN section.. AT V2 you have to get full opposite rudder in pretty quickly or you will turn more than permitted to fail the exercise. As the speed increases you can reduce the rudder. NO aileron applied(or differential spoiler). A Staggered cut off WOULD definitely show, even as a small delay. The Thrust is gone when the fuel flow stops, essentially. Nev

    The switches Could NOT Possibly Move by themselves. Nev

    They are Lever-Latch switches. You can't just accidently flick them. They have to be LIFTED first. Jackc I've flown 2 (Jet) types with flight engineers. Sometimes an engine is shut down during taxi to the terminal to avoid excess brake use and after Parking also and the PF does that.. This was posted before the one above was able to be read by me. The switches would be accessible as they are closer to the Pilot than the throttles and they can easily be in full forward from both seats when restrained by the seat belts with seats in normal position.

    They appeared to be on the lines but that doesn't protect you IF you are TOO close You still have to keep your distance between. I think that is pretty obvious As I commented earlier you have to know the trajectory of the wingtips and tail when the Nosewheel is not straight. It can go to nearly a right angle where the cockpit is going sideways. You are Marshalled where clearance with anything is Minimal, even IF you are on the line. If you have a very long plane you go further into the corner before you turn to prevent the Inner main gear from cutting the Corner and going onto the grass which would get you a DCM on an over 150 ton plane. Some main gear bogies can also turn. Nev

    It's what the sailors call them that matters. Nev

    Does it depend on how they Rodger? Most ships are SHE. Nev

    The first 182's were straight tail like the one shown. RNAC had one, VH RNT. Done in 2 greens If I recall correctly. A Percival Procter used to fly the Newspapers from Sydney to Newcastle back in the days when it operated out of District Park. The distinct Noise of the Gipsy 6 Heralded it's arrival. It flew a bit faster than most small planes of the day. Nev

    That is due to geopolitical tensions. Nothing else. Nev

    Haven't you got to turn them upside down to find out? Nev

    ideal bleed is automatic from high points in any part of the system that may need it is not restricted to radiators. Nev

    It's not unusual to use two where one larger one is inconvenient. IF you want to know how effective they are, measure the radiator OUTLET temp compared with inlet. Nev

    Don't bother with second hand ones. Nev

    Having that many screwed fittings is just ridiculous.. It's like a prototype of something. Nev

    It wiped out the Hopes and lifestyle of many People. Started in the in 1929 in the USA. Some people actually Profit at such times. The stock Market is a Gambling House. Shareholders are the suckers if they don't have Inside Knowledge. US politicians are Buying or Unloading stock that they are passing Laws on.. It's a stacked Deck. Nev

    Apparently many whale noises are like that. Nev

    I'm too risk averse to comment on that. I don't even know where it IS. Nev

    That's one I haven't heard B4. Was she referring to heat exchangers? Nev

    A lot of Imported cars did not have big enough radiator capacity for competition or really hot days (Australian Conditions)and if the area couldn't be increased they had to be thicker and I used fork Lift ones. The LADA Niva had a sturdy radiator. You need that on outback roads so they don't crack on the sidestraps. Also rubber Mounted adequately. None of this is rocket science. Where there was A V8 VERSION or one for the Automatic trans just use that. Oil coolers can go under the base of the spin on oil filter. No pipes at all. Nev

    They wear out in the bore fairly quickly, But run well. Are they still made? nev

    Never having to warm the engine up would save time. Engine reliability should be better. How about for Powered Gliders? Nev

    Those Belstaff Waxed canvas Jackets left Black stuff all over the cream and Blue seats at the Paragon Cafe. . Full Leathers is your own Body Bag. Very tidy. There were many times when My only vehicle was a Motor Bike. Nev

    Eventually the waterproof garment keeps the water IN if you ride long enough.. . How do I know this? Nev

    When it's aircooled you don't Have all this problem with rubber PIPES, coolant and pressure caps, pumps and leaks. (dare I mention). Then you can FLY in the AIR. Nev
