    Thanks John. Nev

    I was with them for MANY years but they seem to implode now and again.. I'd suggest RAAus is still needed. .Nev

    He's the misfit that cops all the $#!t but still somehow manages to hang in there. Hence My choice of avatar. Nev

    That would be my Powerplant of choice because it's PROVEN to be a Practical thing. Nev

    In a group I see regularly I learn Today it seems Temora is going defunct for a similar reason. They have had to move away from VH EXP for Warbirds. Nev

    I'd reckon you'd be able to get a house cheap there, the rate people get knocked off... Nev

    Oils for 4 strokes contain friction modifiers that will short out Plug insulators internally.. Just use conventional plugs and save your money. I'd check the Inlet valve guide fit on the valve stem. At idle the suction is greatest in the inlet ports. The bleed may reduce the effect of the suction but not enough to stop excess oil getting there. Nev

    Do GA PPL or U/L pilots know about icing? To me it's obvious that at the height he reached the Plane was probably covered in it and was going no place but down. Most non IFR experienced pilots wouldn't have got as far as he did. Nev

    Spot on. Nev

    It was doing long approaches at idle. Plenty of motors don't like that. Pistons get loose. Inlet valve guide fit has to be good and can be .001" if the finish is good and parallel. The exhaust needs more and could also pass oil on a glide. Yes oil (and air can go back in if the flange leaks.) When power is on, some of the gas goes UP the exhaust guide and contaminates the rocker box. EXCESS oil can lower the Octane and cause detonation. Nev

    Keep your very) amateur Psychology to yourself Brendan . I've Put a lot of effort into those Posts on your behalf. . Nev

    You do them anyhow in a slow and draggy plane 500 ft. and I said MIGHT. under certain circumstances . Nev.

    Waste of time using any intelligence here. . Just when I thought/hoped WE might be getting somewhere. Dumb it ALL down, You deserve it but maybe your passengers don't. Nev

    Geez That brings back Memories. Nev

    Both including Low level and aerobatics. in GA. A wide range of planes in the AUF/ RAAus field . Having Height is a good thing where its applicable.. . When you are a bit advanced Lower level smaller circuits MIGHT be a good thing to practice . Nev

    Don't worry Brendan. We'll get there. Nev

    They usually vent a bit of oil when you do that. Nev
  18. facthunter
    I don't know what those little things MEAN. Nev

    And that's your basis for saying no training Unless there's 3000ft cloudless ? At a place where there could be Arriving IFR aircraft THAT would be a fair and reasonable thing to do. The Context is everything. It's called "Situational Awareness". A "must have" for Pilots. Pity HE didn't communicate it to you. I think I would have. Nev

    Bully for U 2, Brendon. Turbs NEVER answers a straight question and you reckon that's alright? . Cheap shot anyhow. You CAN train at any height that is LEGAL to fly at. OK? Nev
  21. facthunter
    Grow UP Turbs. Discussion with you is a lost Cause. Nev
  22. facthunter
    Because it's NOT correct. Why quote MY post when your reply has nothing to do with it? Nev

    BAD example really. The Police have jurisdiction over all criminal acts. Not RAAus. Police have control over all RAAus incidents/accidents unless ATSB intervene.. RAAus are invited to assist. Have no right to demand access to anything. Nev
  24. facthunter
    It may be feeding too much oil. Nev
  25. facthunter
    Sorry, but that reply is meaningless. . The oil return is by the pushrod tubes and they should easily handle it. Nev
