    Yes . it's just over 1 mm out. 1MM = .3937"Inches. Nev

    16 MM is very close, to 5/8" Nev

    Like the Mako's in the Lagoon at Cocos Island? Nev

    So is a"lot of Posts"not to be encouraged? AND I've been here from the very beginning ? Lets take that into account. The only thing I Rat on about is SAFETY and I approach it from many but consistent different angles, It's NOT an attempt at censorship to say we are not progressing any change by saying the same things, Over and Over. Plenty of "Guests" view all this and I don't see it as a way of attracting newer posters either. Please don't say you don't have to read it. Nev

    Yeah I'm dead sick of it. Now a waste of time for all involved and bad look. Nev

    NOT RAAus one's Deano. The last one I had said "Access ALL Areas". More scope than my Company one had. Nev

    It's NOT the realm of where it's supposed to operate.. This topic is like stuck record . Get A LIFE. No one out there CARES but NOW is Not the time to achieve any sympathy for the removal of safety orientated Rules.. Nev

    Lot of extra weight either way. The extra performance you'd still have without either, Might save your life. Nev

    Lapping tapered threads is a good way of helping them seal and adjusting where they stop when tightened. Tightened correctly they will lock themselves. Thats the Purpose of using a Tapered Pipe thread. Nev

    IF you know what to look for, examination of the wreckage will tell a lot. Nev

    Skip, you qualify as an OCPD person. Nev

    No point in speculating. If does or it doesn't A lot of ground power units do power the aircraft but the choice should be by switching, so that you know EXACTLY what's going on. Nev

    People working at Aerodromes for a short term Purpose are allowed by arrangement. They are also required to be specific. worksite savvy. and show proof if required. Yes you do have a boarding pass and seat number IF you present in the normal way. Is it Tarmac Loading at Avalon? Anyone swanning across the AIRSIDE would attract attention . Nev

    Bass Strait can be pretty rough. The swells come from both sides and make freak waves. Nev

    I experienced a "Bomb Scare " flying back from Port Moresby. The PAX had no idea but believe Me it's not fun. None of us want "todays world". It's been forced upon us by changed circumstances. The BEST days are over, Work with what you have while you have at least something. Input to all requests. You're a minority IN a minority. Nev

    Thanks MAX. Good engine stuff. Nev

    There must be thing's of a higher priority of concern to our movement now. Now is not the time to push your argument. You are flogging the proverbial "dead Horse". How many posts have been on this subject? Let's move on. Nev

    Good to consider. Pulling the stick back is a conditioned response. Has to be resisted. Where there's room, slightly overspeed the climb till a bit of height is achieved in a low Inertia. draggy Plane. Fly in ground effect if you've bounced into the air on a rough surface. PLAN all this before you start your take-off roll. Nev

    Forgot to mention the daughter was a flight attendant, who (fortunately for HER) looked nothing like her father She had Hair and.. stuff that girls have. Nev

    A bigger or several batteries in a cart kept charged by its own charger and plugged into your ground socket when needed. IT cannot hurt your system. with big battery capacity smoothing things out. leave the charger off if you are worried some of the Modern electronic ones have Pulsed voltages. Nev

    I'll tell you a good one and true. A pilot I knew in TAA had a daughter flying in Ansett. They swapped ID cards for a MONTH and no one noticed. Nev

    You'll get Big swells and debris later from rivers unless you get well away. I have done a bit of boating, but my missus would get sea sick in a bath. Nev
  23. facthunter
    Maybe not, but this acts against it being removed. Nev

    Mother Nature can be a Bitch. Life is more important than property. Nev

    But Oh so fussy. Some of that I think is made up to be part of the Rotax CULTURE. It's a Bl**dy Plumbers Nightmare to start with. You'd never get it past the scrutineers on a race car. Too many things near exhaust pipes unshielded and more. Costs are going through the roof for "special" bits. Carbs are cheap and nasty, unbalanced and dangerously located. Nev
