    It is for all Landings A MAX braking is a a pretty big retarding force already. I doubt many non Pilots ever experience it. Nev

    Promos only show the Best Part. Neither of those aircraft are going THAT fast. nev

    I was Once a Minor but I grew Out of it. I did DIG Opal at one time at Lightning ridge. I know what "Potch and Toe Dirt" are and caught OPAL Fever. Nev

    The same backlash can exist in either. Helicals can be quieter running The gear in question is doing a big job and the clearances get worse as the ALLOY CASE expands and the gear has friction so will itself get hot and thin the oil on it.. . The prop is the ONLY flywheel and the four cyl configuration has the worst Piston momentum set up of any Motor.. The Big Lycoming Continental has Active (moving) Counterweights on the crankshaft that cut the torsional vibration forces and the 6 cyl motors don't have the problem so much to start with . I would expect the gears to be ground to profile after the heat treatment to enable close running clearances in the Motors that Use Reduction gears which is only on certain Models. anyhow. Torsional vibration is a big problem anywhere it occurs and you can't feel it. Nev

    Don't let your enthusiasm over rule your wisdom. There's only a limited amount anyone can do in one lifetime. No matter HOW BIG your shed is you will fill it. Nev

    Get USPS to do a better job. They are the world's WORST. Nev

    There used to be rules, but NOW TBOs etc are "all over the Place". You can almost CLAIM anything. The lighter you build the motor THE more stress the Parts are being subject to. . ALL Engines have a life and for a plane It's NOT when it's HAD IT in the normal sense. . Nev

    Disappointing outcome, after what would have been a lot of work. Nev

    Fantastic effort all round. Nev

    Needs to be a FAN jet to have much thrust. Nev

    It's done all the time. nev

    YES. I keep looking from time to time.. V twins have Piston momentum advantages over other configurations. nev

    I have not been aware of that. They would be responsive to what a particular Airline wanted with many features like the Logic of the FMS. Few airlines buy a "White tail" off the shelf.. Boeings flagship a version of the 777 has the Biggest engines in the game. Nev

    From a Robbo expert I know Just 2 blades is a less than optimal set up. Nev

    Engine damage, engine fire. The engine would be common to a lot of planes and sometimes there's optional engines on offer for a Particular Plane. They are all fitted with fire warning and Extinguishing System's 2 Shots and a firewall shutoff.. Nev

    You could do a lot worse than Include "Old Rhinebeck Aerodrome" in your perusal List. There's NO time like NOW. Google it. Nev

    To listen to High revs like that would frankly tire me out It's OK in a Paramotor as you are too busy to notice the Noise. Its only Power to weight you need not Power per CC.. Some VEE Twin horizontal shaft Industrial motors come close to being suitable. Nev

    Look up EOS Quattro. Single cylinder 4 VALVE Oil/air cooled. Light\, Revy economical about 30 HP. 500 Hour life. Nev
