    Don't we call them Cars Here. "Auto" means you don't have to manually change the Gears. Nev

    I don't agree with your Logic. Have you ever done what you speak of?

    Pretty untidy Landing but they got away with it. Nev

    Recalls and extending warrantees are a good thing. Nev

    Electric would be a much more reliable engine with reduced SKILLS to learn how to operate it. More time to concentrate on other things more important. Nev

    It's acted and not technically accurate. Very common with Aeroplane related stuff.. Excusable in "Flying High" or the Magnificent Men and their Flying Machines. Both Terribly Funny. Nev

    Hope they are OK. Nev

    IF the Tires are flat the Batteries would also be flat. A couple of unforms a Derilect plane and a camera. Nev

    Different Cause in the Jabiru. Some similarity. I'm not that stupid as to be confusing the two... Jabiru fretted the cases .Nev

    Well spotted. The passengers (if any) would not be locked inside, either. Nev

    I'm pretty hard on them all But a lot are compromised by Poor management Particularly starting techniques and Avoiding Prohibited rpms, MP/ Rpm combinations over propping and using motor for short periods where they never get Properly warmed up. Motor cowled with adjustable Cowl flaps and properly Baffled with Air blast tubes on the parts that need them to be specially cooled and Lagged fuel Lines etc. ie Properly Installed . Nev

    ALL Planes have a comfortable taxi speed and its nowhere near V1. Nev'

    Thanks. Nev

    I wouldn't try that line at any enquiry. Nev

    The Plane was close to it's service ceiling and relied on the downslope to help it get back in the air It's a rehearsed procedure for that location. Sort of OK IF there's no climbers there at the same time. Nev

    I critically examine many aircraft engine in dept and they ALL have some design Faults No engine is bullet proof particularly piston engined ones. Rotax later motors are becoming more highly stressed and complex. People say Merlins were a great Engine and the highest TBO ever was 650 Hours . My comment wasn't generalised. It was related to the LONG studs holding alloy bits together that get Hot and expand at different rates.. Nev

    It would fit RAAus rules. . Nev

    The Walrus would have been one of the More rough water capable. Nev

    Pistons are the Most efficient of the ICE ones .Hydrogen to electric direct? Hydrogen is difficult to store. Makes things brittle Nev

    Not made up at all,. But carry on IF it makes you feel better. Do your own proper research if you really care. Nev

    For rescue etc? Wouldn't a helicopter be able to do the same? Nev
  24. facthunter
    Why stick with Piston engines IF you don't have to? Nev
  25. facthunter
    Its been happening. They are too long and the steel doesn't expand as much as the Alloy. It's not an uncommon problem in such designs. . Be interest to have my question answered. Nev
