  1. Rudder looks a bit small. Nev
  2. I know You are stuck with it. . Have a fly in a 6 cyl Jab with a wood prop on it. Nev
  3. 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
  4. Best forged. There are even better materials than Dural. Look up "Hartzel" . Nev
  5. I wouldn't want a cast prop.. Nev
  6. You just need a better wood prop. Correct dia and pitch angle. and have a direct drive. Nev
  7. I'm bit of an "Auster" fan from wayback. Nev
  8. There's a much better commentary by a Bearded Ex Blackhawk helo pilot covering the roles and vision issues. It's about 10 Back. Nev
  9. Of course it's a PITA but it does serve a purpose.. Would you like to be an RPT pilot, flying without any security checking in today's world.? Nev
  10. I had the worst Christmas ever in 2024,having to evacuate to the other side of Geelong for a place suitable for the Dogs and moved a lot of stuff to the 4 corners of the earth or so it seems.. The '83 fires got to the corner of my block then. Fires are about the Worst thing there is. to be involved with. Stay OK Marty.. Nev
  11. SO "Sportpilot" is undermining the" Australian Way of Life?". There would be a long list of candidates FAR more guilty of that before you got down to Sportpilots effort. Just WHAT is the "Australian WAY " of life anyhow? Nev
  12. A lot for a PT 6. Maybe it isn't? Nev
  13. The RESIN is the reason.. It's not forever. Nev
  14. It didn't affect Just Fuel lines. Nev
  15. Some high Bypass Jets have over 60,000 HP equivalent in each engine.. Nev
  16. I like them without floats better. Nev
  17. And you've dragged a compliment out of me too. Nev
  18. Silicone to the rescue. Check for leaks with slight pressure applied and soapy water. Nev
  19. Better get used to it. Soon there will be nothing but. Bat$#!T New World. Nev
  20. Mobil was notable for making some that grounded a lot of Planes, some permanently. Had Caustic still in it.. Nev
  21. I would generally avoid purchasing a resprayed plane compared to an original finish even if a bit tatty Plane. The first thought about a respray. What is it hiding? Also regarding the Paint stripper. How much is left in the Laps of riveted seams and how much extra weight has been added where mass balancing and possible flutter is involved. Nev
  22. FLAT fours are the worst motors for uneven flywheel effects of the reciprocating parts and are notable for being prone to crankshaft breakages in cars. Nev
  23. GEEZ, KG that's a disappointing reply from a bloke who I reckon has most things pretty together.. Nev
