Most would not employ it. I would agree with that.. In wartime you only got told the minimum and It's gone downhill from there. UNLESS you seek out these things. You should know STALL is an angle of Attack, not a pitch attitude. Nev

I would be disappointed if Instructors are not aware of that.. Nev

Go to their last bit of advice. Get in touch with your instructor. What was demonstrated there was very basic and obvious. Generally discussion on line creates more confusion. IT should be called the unforgiving turn, which they sensibly have. Nev

The caster you want can be designed into either Leading or trailing links . Earles forks are used a Lot on Motorcycle outfits and they are very much Leading link.. The mass is towards the rear of the steering axis. Nev.

Called "Leading Link" Nev

Headwind makes a big difference to height/ distance relationship on climb out. Many turn backs result i loss of control. Shallow bank angle reduces the chance of getting back. Don't learn how to do this on U tube.. Nev

Fastest Piston engine is service at the time. They flew in Korea.. Nev

I wonder if any of the top RAAus people have either. THEY pretty much ALL did when the AUF became the RAAus..Nev

Maybe he hasn't flown a Thruster or Drifter and doesn't know what he's missing out on. Nev

In the 60's the DH82 Was removed from being classified as an initial training aircraft. You could still teach spins aeros and t/w endorsements. Nev

The VC 10 was called the "IRON DUCK". Nev

The feel of the Plane, It's controllability, look and sound are all part of the aura. IF you're aim is to get to places and back ON TIME use a Jet and even they are delayed by weather sometimes.. Nev

RAAus Certificate is NOT a licence either. Nev

A GEE BEE goes fast enough. On larger planes the drag would be similar All cylinders are the same Bottom end is more complex so is ignition timing as the stroke is not the same in all cylinders.TBO is comparable with anything else. Reduction gear is sun and planetary Thats the best. Nev

Learn in something similar then off you go for Pt 103 or just teach yourself (which I don't recommend). With a bit of experience you'll manage it. Nev

A Cam Ring is used in most of them. Sleeve valves have their own special problems. It's a wonder they work at all. Nev.

Short crankshaft and the Big end is lightly loaded in cruise. Even length intake pipes and easier to cool and supercharge It's a completely different feel and SOUND.. Downside. A bit hard to oil scavenge. That has to be done right.. Nev

That's how it works. Nev

Great instability in the Auto world. .You'd be surprised at the other alliances out here. Nev

Sleeve valve motors have trouble cooling the heads. Nev

Chrysler isn't It. Fiat is made by Chrysler. . GM pulled out of Fiat.Nev

They have the capacity NOW. Remember when JAPAN car wasn't much..? It's ALL much more high tech now. Trouble is if you don't watch they will cut corners. There's a lot of Chinese Parts in makes you wouldn't be aware of. Anyhow, how good is a JEEP/?

It might be better to see why it's hot. The Motor is new isn't it? Check the gauge. Is the motor tight at all.? Climb at a faster speed. When the engine is shut down does it bounce off compression as it stops.. Does it have Blowby? Nev

Some Race Car engines were designed for 3,000 Kms. Big trucks for much longer. What's t he point of even a 500 hour drone engine. It could be designed for a never to be rebuilt situation saving weight and cost. Nev

China's doing alright isn't it? Nev
