Blimey LM,

I recon you've zapped another ten bystanders there (French again too)

Yup, ten including the pilot!

The Antionette Monobloc of 1911

It'll have to be an Open House I'm afraid as I have to go now and my internet is almost at a standstill due to a major software download in progress (19 gigabytes!!)

Wot a great pity you have declared OH - are you sure?

Back again but looks like I've missed some fun. The glider winch is LPG powered, and you wouldn't believe the black tar-like stuff which builds up in the gas vapouriser, ugh. Fortunately one of the other members had already started on it, so I pottered about with the Pajero tow-out truck. I fitted an extra towing point fitted for pulling the winch cables, and tensioned up the alternator belts. No joy curing a glowplug solenoid problem (solenoid should power up glowplugs when key is turned, but doesn't). Does anyone here know about Pajeros or Shoguns? A jumplead from the battery to the glowplug rail works though.

By the way Mechta, time to Goggle viscous fluid dynamics and the relationship between viscosity and density.

Try starting with Reynolds Number.

Doesn't the world just love a smartass......
Funny you should mention that Lightning Mate. Last week I was talking to a second year student on the same course, and he had no idea what a Reynolds number was. I'm a first year, and I was at least able to explain what it is (i.e. a relationship between fluid viscosity, length of the body and the velocity through the fluid). I suppose that's what comes from reading Aeromodeller from when I was in short trousers at school...

Wot are they?

I have heard that some JapCrap "car" manufacturer uses the names.

I drive a 155 mph Mercedes Benz mate - no contest.

LM, If your Merc will pull two steel cables 3/4 mile across a wet airfield and we can have it for a monkey, you've got a deal!

No contest there either. It's not the ugly 4x4 brute the ML.

Evening mate.

So is mine now. It seems to have a mind of its' own.

The twelve hour point will be up at 1118 UTC, 2218 NSW.

It's obvious that Ken has it.

Well, considering the amount of s**t you've thrown my way!

You know we all love you here - wouldn't be the same if you left.

Morning Ken.

Thanks for the heads up, and the above comments are for Graeme.
