  1. Do they have night flying at Cowra? Nev
  2. Mona would be more appropriate for a few. Nev
  3. I'd stick to standard as much as possible. Easier to jump from one plane to another then. Nev
  4. What Chemical are they supposed to be spreading? Cloud seeding was done with silver iodide. Suitable clouds at a much lower level. Provides condensation nucleii for the formation of raindrops. Nev
  5. It would appear so. They have over 100 million Pentecostals. A New christian? CULT that glorifies Greed and is structured around justifying the worship of money and blaming the less well off for their OWN circumstances.. Nev
  6. There's an old saying ... "Pilots are like mushrooms. Kept in the dark and fed on Bull$#!t". Nev
  7. Contrails are caused by the burning fuel in the Jet engines forming water. They only form in certain conditions generally at high altitudes. Nev
  8. 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
  9. I would be disappointed if Instructors are not aware of that.. Nev
  10. 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
  11. 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.
  12. 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
  13. Fastest Piston engine is service at the time. They flew in Korea.. Nev
  14. I wonder if any of the top RAAus people have either. THEY pretty much ALL did when the AUF became the RAAus..Nev
  15. Maybe he hasn't flown a Thruster or Drifter and doesn't know what he's missing out on. Nev
  16. 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
  17. The VC 10 was called the "IRON DUCK". Nev
  18. 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
  19. 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
  20. 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
  21. 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.
