With the rain returning, our 985's are suffering from the usual moist ignition system problems. A blip in the running or a side that just won't clear has everyone sighing with frustration, and pre heating the engines (ground run) has proven hit and miss with identifying and clearing the moisture. Ha...

Sealand does distribute and apply Corrosion X, and ACF 50, and Dinotrol, and just about about anything else that can comply and works. Kudos for taking a step towards promoting the longevity of your airframe. Corrosion control has become more than just a simple application/reapplication of an inhibi...

Curious question posed during a recent hanger clean up/out/bonfire. Are contract based employees covered by the contracting party's insurance with regards to liability? Just wondering if pilots and engineers on contract are covered for injuries and damage caused during the lines of work, to them or ...

Egg cartons don't count.

Can't you hitch the pogey train just one more station?

Looks like the screen XBOX 360 Air combat 6

If these countries run and regulate their airlines like their railway systems; I'm sure they aren't too worried. Some of the major carriers of these countries seem to now have foriegn pilot hiring bans in place (Air India and Indonsesian, at least 3 more) and now these same carriers have been place...

Inox can be used as a kind of do all, but that dosen't mean that it does all things well. In Australia we would cut it with other oils and greases to help lube piano hinges and buried bearings that were dragging as a method of nursing them through to replacement. It acted as the carrier fluid and sh...

I'mfeeling the love now with the last 6 being winners! 7/27

What brand of coffee maker should I get?

I guess if we cull off the old misers and put their money into the economy we would all be better off!

I would have thought that a wind turbine would would generate power much the same way a steam driven turbine would as AC voltage?????? When does the conversion to and from direct voltage come in?????

The P68B flys quite like a 206 with the forward field of veiw being better. They could get up and go at 165kts bellow 10k and still had good short field ops. I found that the major problem was keeping on top of the fuel managment and trimming as every minute action could produce a large reaction (or...

Dude, you have issues!!!!!

He's a man after my own heart. If we could only get away with that at the ramp!

Did the navajo and semminole go? Kind of curious about the sim as well.

I guess there will be no more fighting. Check out viewtopic.php?f=8&t=49452

I've not long gotten a Mitsubishi Lancer (the 2 wheel drive Evo) on Mitsubishi's past performance. An Evo or Subaru would be the choice if I had the unlimited budget (and my wifes permission) for the drivability of the all wheel drive. The reliabilty seems to be right up there for both which is a pl...

Jesus F3@! HAZA, put a hat on! Any news? PM me.

Thats the most he ever worked!

I would never adise that you keep a battery in a "closed" room or near an ignition source. While they may not be a ni-cad and go into thermal runaway, the vapours from a battery on charge/and discharge can ignite, battery boxes are vented for such a reason. Certainly protect them from the elements a...

If you can keep the battery on a trickle charge that will help to keep the life in it. Once the electrolyte gets cold it will break down and cause the plates to "sulphate" and loose there abilty to hold a charge. We found that a trickle charge for an hour a day was enough and we could monitor the ce...

Before people get upset and start making claims, counter claims and such, maybe a few things can be cleared up. Is Penair declared a dissolved business or have they simply been denied the access to the place of primary business? If they are a dissolved business, then its the sack for all and call in...

It's sad to think that we all slaved our guts at school and at our trade (at the same time) to be called "grease monkey's, black handers, spanners and wrench", but the sad truth is that we all have a sickness that keeps us in the industry. Many of us have the equivelncy of degrees or higher and are ...
