It's NOT funny though, as the engine is often damaged and the PAX would get a big fright. It's just an illustration of what VG's can do with boundary Layer control. Nev

IF they are only plastic they certainly wouldn't last long in sunshine. They probably buzz in the airflow. I thought they'd be sheet metal. They are used in the centre engine intake "S" duct in the B 727. When few disappear the engine tends to stall when the nose is raised on take off or when first opening the throttle on #2. THAT will light up the Paddock at night time as the flames shoot out of the front of the engine with a mighty thump noise, that would get the Town Dogs Barking. Nev

The same LAW applies if ATSB are investigating it. It's the authority's property till they release it. Nev

More rearward C of G will give better economy but affects things like stalling and spinning.. You can actually stall the horizontal stabiliser and that is usually total loss of control. when that happens. Nev

Unfortunately it doesn't work that way. You could use fuel used, but check on that. Faking required records doesn't go down well. Nev

Useable fuel at some stage won't be there. The best thing is to move something that is already there rearwards. but stay within the Manufacturers Permitted C of G range.

ALL of that is why I call it a gadget. Nev

THAT doesn't compute. This GADGET has fans doing things quickly, in the rotational sense. Not just falling at 32 ft/sec/sec. Nev

Literally at BREAKNECK speed? Nev

On the bottom side aren't they? Why does that machine require so much rear downforce?. It's all load the wings have to carry ultimately. Nev

Don, Certainly in the early stages of your flying, stability on the approach is helpful in a good landing. Big stuff is required to be stabilised at 400 ft or higher as they have a lot of inertia in the equation.. Sorry i didn't reply earlier. U/ls can have very sort finals in some places and need rapid responses till it's stopped.. Like in turbulence are you ever stable?. That's why WE are so skilled. Nev

Try it first . I've had troubles with superglue and I know araldite works on model aircraft "dural "engine mounts with vibration and model fuel everywhere. Posted while you were, skip. That double sided strip the thickness may bother me It's the upright bit of the Vortex generator. that does the work .Nev

I agree with that but the accident scene is required to be kept undisturbed till all evidence is collected from it and crime scene is probably the only sign they have. Nev

2 pack Araldite? Nev

When there's a fun run there's often casualties and overheated muscles. Maybe the arterial bulge has nothing to do with it. It's rare to NOT get signals of something wrong but plenty who should Know better ignore them. ' IF you sometimes get light headed when you stand up tell your doctor Any breathlessness and "heavy chest" feel or pains in shoulder and upper arm may be angina pain. Sit, loosen collar and relax and take deep breaths and it MAY go away as you are unloading you heart and supplying more oxygen but you are right on the brink of having a heart attack so GET to a hospital nut don't drive yourself.. I'd call an ambulance if you're not sure because they can start treating you when they arrive.. Been there when going home after an operation not correctly medicated and a mate died by ignoring the signs 18 months ago. At the moment my Heart checks out absolutely NORMAL .Nev .

It's a risky occupation. Always sad. Nev

Their website shows dealers in many Countries. There's one in Quebec. I don't know how current it is Easy to try. Nev

I think 2 strokes were outlawed in California. Not sure about other places. Rotax seem to be getting out of theirs. Nev

Being a Designated Aviation Medical Examiner may not be the best qualification to be a good GP. A DAME 's job is to check if you pass the requirements for your type of licence. That's a qualification they seek by choice. A "niche" in the GAME. . Nev

In a normal outboard there's no room for a good tuned exhaust system. Quite a lot of them are 4stroke these days. Nev

I only Know it has been around for a while. Nothing recent. Nev

Excellent. Nev

Fair chance it is Hyperbaric Hypoxia related The garbled speech for one and why were they on oxygen? The first descent WHY? AT 280 you'd need constant oxygen if the pressurisation has failed. I wouldn't call it OPS NORMAL. Nev

IF your nose is pointing at the ground and you don't have enough height, it's "game over" anyhow. Nev

A lot of aircraft engines have poor design of intake and exhaust systems from the performance aspect which come a poor second to the constraints of limited space and weight. and safety. You don't want a cracked exhaust anywhere under your cowl." Racing " valve timings (large overlap) require a more balanced intake and exhaust treatment. Fitting that type of power unit would require exhaust plumbing similar to what it had in the motorbike of skidoo or Jetski it came from to keep it's performance. It's VERY much more applicable to 2 stroke engines.. They depend onpressure waves and expansion chambers. Supercharged engines need it the least, where in the case of a turbocharger it as close to the heads as possible these days. and the charge is forced by a pump. Nev
