    Some forecast winds are such that you just don't go. Nev

    Aeroplanes have the worst fuel gauges imaginable, by and large. IF you had a significant fuel leak you'd have to lose a lot before you could reliably get concerned. Your dipped figure or FULL is all you can really rely on. Nev

    That was one of the points I was going to bring up. It's becoming increasingly difficult to have a decent discussion on this forum. Nev

    How'd you like the Job of finding one. ? Maybe it doesn't exist. Nev

    Flightrite nearly ALL cars give you that information in real time.. Nev

    Hello. Anybody home?

    Coarsening the Prop is like selecting a higher gear. It loads the engine. Nev

    WHO are you talking to?

    Yes they are substantial and you check that area pre flight. I think there's a mod there. Nev

    It's obvious that the greatest BENDING moment is at the forward part of the boom. In similar situations (Stress points) SPARS are made stronger by having caps or doublers. With tubes you can insert another tube inside. Check out a thruster in that area. Nev

    What's "Fudge factor/speed"? Ground Nautical miles/litre would be a real world performance indication. Nev

    There could easily be significant injuries to personnel. Nev

    As I've mentioned W&B has a pass mark or 100% in ALL the exams that I've had to do.. Nev

    WE posted together. Anyhow I'll leave you with it.. Nev

    OK but there's a good argument for doing it the accepted way, in my book. Is there anything you can move forward to move the balance point.? Nev

    It doesn't have to be a real place. You clearly designate it and base your figures on it. I'm led to believe it's done all the time. Nev

    It would be better to have the datum say 500 mm forward of the spinner. At some time you might alter weights forward of the Wing LE and you avoid dealing with negative figures. Nev

    You ARE getting towards the REAR of the permitted range. It's NOT the best place to be. Nev

    That Mob GAMI in USA are trying to produce a new fuel to replace 100LL which for sure will be discontinued someday. Nev

    EXACTLY You need to enrichen a COLD motor to start it. Nev

    I'm familiar with all those places you mention and how unsatisfactory and dangerous those Lanes can be. Flying in CTA also has it's problems. Better transit zones are what is needed.. and expect better performing radios and procedures to be required in any case,. Nev

    Just something to bear in mind. Make sure you have the Cof G or the various loads in the correct place with the pitch horizontal. You look to be tending to tail heavy. How much can you fit in the Baggage area and how far back does it go.? Nev

    The plane must stay in balance with all useable fuel gone. Nev

    It's "normal" to review at 12 months. Most comments were against restrictions applying. Nev

    They were Airsick. Nev
