Come along Mate.
Why cannot I find any 7-cyl engines? Am I supposed to know all their names? I just use the search facility in Aerofiles itself and is I bring up each page I used the "find'' to search the criteria I am looking for. I've never searched Aerofiles using Google. |
A Salmson radial then?

Why cannot I find any 7-cyl engines? Am I supposed to know all their names? You guys both got something ready to post if I do? You are usually quicker. A Salmson radial then? |
You did say it was a 9 cylinder did you not.
|
If I named the engine I would expect the aircraft to go within a couple of minutes. I said 9, Ken said 7. |
You did say it was a 9 cylinder did you not. |
It seems that searching for a 7-cyl engine aircraft returns zilch. |
oh yes, like a Jacobs, por ejemplo!
|
Just ran my own test. If I name the engine, you should get it in under 60 seconds!
Not a Jacobs RR..... Ready, steady....... |
GO.........
Continental A-70 |
Cabinaire A-70 ?
|
Cabinaire A-70 As it was the 3rd line of data on the Aerofiles seach I figured it should not take long. I got Sue to do the search...she found it in 50s! All yours mate |
Nice one Ken. :ok:
Found it without the engine, but only by luck. A good day so far...... http://i636.photobucket.com/albums/u..._29/nuvver.jpg |
In that case it was good hunting mate!
Another American offering? |
Sobering experience :*
|
9-cyl radial, cantilever?
|
Not American this time - bye bye Aerofiles.
7 cylinder radial almost cantilever |
I got Sue to do the search |
French LM?
|
French? A bit like S.P.C.A. 80?
|
Not French, but don't go far away.
I feel a map game coming on again - Reg loves it! |
Anything else I can do? ;)
|
Give me the bearing from Aachen. Cannot be far.
|
173 degrees true.
|
A Comte?
A-12 |
A Comte? Gimme another number.... |
AC-12 ……….
|
No - but you are incredibly close.
C'mon.......1943 retired 1945.... |
I'm going home.
I'll give it yer. It's the AC 11V. The thread is all yours. :ok: |
I was about to say Comte AC-11....but that's from 1931. Comte didn't produce anything during the WWII??
Incidentally this is the AC-11V....the tail is definitely different! http://i551.photobucket.com/albums/i...r/660cf02a.jpg |
AC-11? poss the AC-11V?
|
ah... too late... again!!!:(
|
Skytrain, RR, why don't you post something: I was completely out between Comte CA-2 and CA-12, and am having some problems of multitasking right now.
|
You got something Martin...I've got nothing lined up at present so will take me half hour or so.

A comparitively modern photo....aircraft old as it looks, or something more modern?

In JB, OFSO explains how GPS works and I think it deserves to be repeated here:
How does GPS calculate position ? The Gnomic Phase Shift uses very small flatulant gnomes located inside the device. Two are required (and actually only one need be flatulant, although usually both are). The second gnome holds a stopwatch. When the first gnome breaks wind, the second gnome starts the watch and listens acutely. When the echo of the wee flatule is received, the second gnome stops the watch. They then argue for a few miliseconds over who will hold the stopwatch the next time, causing the loser's usual grin to turn into a frown, and this "face shift" as it's known, divided by the transit time is shown as your location on your device. I think that's right ? |

American RR?

How does GPS calculate position ? Best accuracy is obtained via LI and L2 precision codes, which enables accurate propagation (ionospheric and atmospheric) error prediction, because the refractive indices of both frequencies may be very accurately predicted and modelled. This takes me four hours of lecturing!!! Do you all not admire a person of such superior knowledge...... However comma the JB post is very amusing. :E:E:E:E Incidentally this is the AC-11V....the tail is definitely different! |
