    People drove them quite large distances. Is that an option? . Nev

    Wel, the Twin Towers Hijacker pilots were Trained in the USA and didn't NEED to be able to land the Plane. WTF? Nev

    Mock up a place somewhere else in a remote area. Doing it in the ACTUAL place it relates to makes it pretty obvious to anyone wanting to Know, just what is going on. HOW DUMB can you be in the USA? Nev

    "Limit manoeuvres" by top line military HELO's practiced at LOW level and in the same airspace as congested RPT and at night. WHO could ever see THAT as a good idea? That's why Flight Simulators were designed over 70 years ago to prevent unnecessary LOSS of lives. Nev

    My point as I've already stated is there's not a great deal of advantage in over powering a draggy plane except it will get into the air faster but weigh more and use more fuel and be able to carry less weight... Nev

    "HUMAN FACTORS "are part of the FACTS. Nev

    Yes Billet Dural (hopefully)and CNC'd Probably the best for that job in light stuff. The problem is the sizing of the Blade ends where it turns and 'Lifing composites . Chucking blades is not a good idea. Nev

    Just makes it more dangerous and heavier. The hubs in the bigger 3 blade adjustable are FORGED steel. There's a lot of load in there. It all requires servicing and inspections. BIG money. Nev

    The HELO's were Training for a "special, end of the World" situation to evacuate high level Politicians. THAT's a FACT and it has been happening for some time. There was also a political manoeuvre about retirements in train to add STRESS to the existing chronic understaffing situation . Ironically, Ronald Reagan WAS the person who Sacked ALL the PATCO..(Professional Air Traffic Controllers) en Mass in the 1980s putting thousands of lives at risk at the time. Nev

    You sound like a "Sky informed" troll. We ELECT our politicians. Most of them are honest hard working people.. as good (or better) than comparable countries.. Nev

    It's too easy to call your strip a "Security Controlled Airport". Why you would want to do it is beyond me. Nev

    Marty got it right. With water, Kg to Litres is really easy. Additives and temperature change it marginally. US gallons are a bit of a trap in the system. IF you are buying Aero engine oil from the USA allow for the reduced Qty in your value comparison. Nev

    Of Course you CAN still Have a good GO at detecting it. EVEN using AI to do it. Set a thief to catch a thief. Nev

    Before that they had a KFM. made in Italy but they went BUST and Rod Stiff had to make his own engine. This bloke by any measure should be regarded as a hero in the Aviation theatre in Oz. So should Merv Richardson. Nev

    Yeah. WE know how you think about it. Don't you and/or your family ever ride in RPT aeroplanes ? and they get baggage transferred from feeder planes. The days of having people VISIT the cockpit and having a relaxed attitude to security, are GONE. Nev

    How much is that in KG's? Hands up. Nev
  17. facthunter
    Of course the performance will be down a bit but they "feel" different and you can't get a more safe prop. I'm also relating to the SIX cylinder motor which is far nicer than any four. is. Nev

    Double Wingers have a look of their own, but you often can't see much out of one. Nev.

    Rudder looks a bit small. Nev
  20. facthunter
    I know You are stuck with it. . Have a fly in a 6 cyl Jab with a wood prop on it. Nev
  21. facthunter
    It would be potentially limiting. That Pic shows the Plane flying slow as it's nearly in the landing attitude but the elevator is still level. Nev
  22. facthunter
    Best forged. There are even better materials than Dural. Look up "Hartzel" . Nev
  23. facthunter
    I wouldn't want a cast prop.. Nev
  24. facthunter
    You just need a better wood prop. Correct dia and pitch angle. and have a direct drive. Nev
  25. facthunter
    I'm bit of an "Auster" fan from wayback. Nev
