320KPH

a mate told me he used it for sticking on motorcycle hand grips, I didn't believe him until I tried it. Spray the inside of the grip, slide it on and the next day the grip is like it's almost glued on the handlebar!

with a conventional camera I found that a mini tie clip mic in the headphone was the best all around for comms and ATC. DC headset, no noise cancelling. pluggging into the unused comms jack you could hear a lot of electronic noise, like the trnasponder and stuff... You can get a fisheye lens adaptor for the smartphone too, which I found made my cockpit vids heaps better...

that flyover looked like it was timed perfectly! The track looked SOOOO ubumpy in the slow mo replays... And the Old Bloke nearly did it again, super race.

1000MPH tape...

safe and easy to use... available at Home Depot

After negotiating on a friends behalf for over a year, and having many "Aerosexual" fantasy buyers contact me, the bird with an on condition engine finally sold to a LAME (Licensed Aircraft Mechanical Engineer) who can continue to sign it off every 100hrs if he recordes the oil upload and gets the filter residue analysed. For this LAME purchase of the bird was a no brainer, he could fly it as long as HE thought it was safe with minimum cost, then overhaul the engine and MAKE $10-$20K on his ownership becaus ehe bought it right, yet he STILL took almost 24 months to make the purchase because he was trying to get the best priced bird in the country... Strangely, he had ANOTHER LAME do a PPI on the bird??? I wonder how much fun and enjoyment he missed out on in those two years trying to haggle the price with other owners? "You cannot drive a price!" I used to state to hagglers in the automotive retail industry. This also applies to aircraft, you cannot fly a price. (unless it's a G6, baby) A Manager of Used Vehicles back in my automotive days said to me: "There's always a reason why a car is cheap" and ther ALWAYS was... I saw a couple of legendary hagglers get stung, bad.

not to my knowledge, I had to tell him about the site... maybe he'll come on

SOLD

it was a low pace procession dominated by Dovi, i got up at 0400 local to watch it... call me dedicated.. the last lap was alright and I loved the Suzukis...

now decided to overhaul the timex engine, bump...

I thought of a Stephen Coonts book that mentioned the effects of Halon on humans and I found an interesting site regarding this issue. https://www.skybrary.aero/index.php/Halon_Fire_Extinguishers Where a portable Halon extinguisher is used by cabin crew, it is usually recommended to consider donning a smoke hood before discharging it so as to eliminate this risk, but for pilot use on the flight deck, this will not be an option and risk awareness is the only defence. The fumes are toxic if inhaled and all practicable precautions should be taken when they are used.

remember, gasoline requires a NAKED FLAME to ignite, a cigar but will just go out...

Oui...

was that a two blade tornado or a three blade tornado?

now if you did it in woodgrain you could say you have a flying mahogany desk model...

pretty small when last seen...

VEGAS BABY!!!

didn't the tailwheel on the 51 lock straight with full aft stick???

I read Deakin's article on Fried Valves and that has some ideas about why the tops are replaced so often. seems to be more likely on a TCM than a Lycoming. https://www.avweb.com/news/pelican/182155-1.html

not wearing his shoulder harness...

So not so Fukushima as a highly compressed dragster at the 1/4mile near you.... but those dragsters are running methanol or nitro fuel...

there's motorcycle airbag jackets now too... The suits detect crashes prior to impact thanks to built-in accelerometers, and a trio of gyroscopes. Dainese's system also utilizes a GPS unit. These sensors constantly feed data to a main computer, communicating around 1,000 times per second. The use of multiple sensors works as a safeguard to prevent false deployments and to ensure deployments do occur when needed. If one accelerometer senses a crash and the others don’t, the system won’t deploy. Because this technology is so well refined, there are no recorded instances of either systems deploying falsely or failing to deploy when needed. The GPS on the D-Air system is another important element as it allows the ECU to know how fast the bike is moving and whether or not to deploy based on speed. So, for example, if you drop your suit on the ground, it will know that it isn’t moving quickly and won’t deploy. In fact it won't deploy under 25-30 mph. The Tech-Air system uses an advanced algorithm instead of a GPS unit. The advanced software has logged two decades of crashes and can determine when a wreck is traumatic enough to necessitate deployment of the airbag. The Tech-Air system also goes into a stand-by mode while off the bike, assuming the rider is out of harm's way.

Awesome result from the aborted takeoff... must have been sporty!
