    IF you have a bit of a SEA the last thing you want is to smack into a wave. Too high a pitch attitude to survive out of ground effect and maybe some windsheer as well. The plane couldn't have been overloaded.. Maybe tail-heavy? You'd have to reference the elevators position. Nev

    That was a major part of the ESSENCE of the movement.. . Where to, now? Nev

    They are an Involved organisation and therefore cannot investigate these matters. Exactly the same reason as CASA can't They can be asked to provide information when the POLICE Investigate. The relevant STATE police. Nev

    Contributing rather. The conditions were not what one would wish for. You make decisions and live with the consequences once you commit.. Nev

    You Can't modify a syllabus to WEED out these people. It wouldn't make any difference to people with an "attitude" problem. His partner KNEW this as well. Nev

    There's a big difference between "FLYING" and the other activities you always relate to. ATSB only INVESTIGATE INCIDENTS/ACCIDENTS and are an INDEPENDENT BODY with the requisite Authority. So are the POLICE. CASA and RAAus are NOT. Nev

    Check your torque wrench frequently. Any over-torqued bolt or stud must be replaced. . Nev

    ACE of the Base types Now have "Pocket rocket". nev

    Open ended spanners are no use for high Torquing figures. Nev

    It's possible to get a "Permit to fly" under some conditions. Nev

    Why use SILLY terms like "Not Emotionally Invested"? There's not much NEW technology in a Rotax. More of a different approach. Part water cooled. Pressed up crankshaft. Weird oil return system Awful carburettors in a bad position, Expensive Bit's. Nev

    There's some real rubbish that comes out of India. Some of it is made in atrocious conditions in very underprivileged and unregulated areas. The Enfield factory is clean and modern and could probably turn out a fair product. At the moment the Performances are about PAR for a 1960 model Brit bike. They are Cheap here and cheap parts. Not for ME. Some China stuff looks as good as anything else does. They MASS produce really cheaply when they MAKE 10000's

    What a generous offer. Nev

    US gallons are little ones as are the quarts. Nev

    Offset of the bores doesn't stop piston clatter Only offset gudgeon pins do Then there a force greater on one side to tilt the Piston. The "W' slot piston causes the crown to run much hotter than it otherwise would. risking detonation.. Nev

    Duel Tank? Them's fighting words. Nev

    How would that work? Nev

    Look UP de Saxxe Principle. The offset is to stop piston rock and simulate de saxxe and at the same time reduce the Load on the thrust face of the Piston on the Power stroke. In my view those pistons are CRAP and are not suited for an aero engine as they are "W" slotted. They are the MAX oversize of a VN commodore. Reversing the Pistons will affect the Ignition timing.

    If you are the sort of person that Panics get another hobby and save money and time. Flying is not forgiving enough for you. Nev

    The thread starter HERE Is "VFR into IMC".. Good subject for consideration and an opportunity to LEARN. Nev

    RAAus DID HF for everybody. CASA directed. Wasn't handled well. Plenty of crusty old Barstewards thought it was BS. Needs to be a constant up dated thing. CASA didn't want it considered in Investigations though (Guess why) Insurance companies gave credits for it.(Wisely) Another failed opportunity. Nev

    I don't think "Mr Cessna" would suggest it's use in other than "certain" Cessna's either. ( Liability) Instant IMC would be very rare. There's usually plenty of warning Also Under the hood (without cheating) is a very good way (SAFE , LEGAL & Accepted) to train for the IMC situation . Nev

    It's informative to look up what the Purpose of a Coronial Inquest is. It's quite specific. Also what qualifications a Coroner must have. Nev
