If you had any idea of what crap you were talking about, you would have realised that the 777 has GE90 engines on them. The only time you will find yourself between two of them is when you are wearing your skirt and handing out inflight refreshments. Faker alert!

Well done on gliding the twin otter 30NM on flight sim. If you did this in real life you would get shock cooling within 2 minutes and your boss would be giving you the bill for all 12 cracked cylinders.

Oh oh ah ah what will the chipmunk come up with next???
Comfy chair.....................check
Cold beverage.................check
Munchies.........................check

This is gonna' get interesting. :rolleyes:

PA38, you don't know what your saying. :=

Major failure PA-38.....even i KNOW without google, the 777 has 3 engine options...like most Boeings and Airbus's.

GE, P&W and RR.


Hmm,
i didn't know the twotter had 12 cylinders!!! i always thought it had 2 BIG ones. Learn something new everyday:ugh:

I think it's time Sir Tomahawk (is it the grand return of Compylot?) be ignored for the troll he is. I know he thinks he’s pretty damn funny, but this tread is full of extremely valuable information.

People die because they don’t know what is going on inside their engine, because they’re afraid to lean, because they follow OWTs. I wouldn’t have spent the many many hours I have researching this material if it wasn’t for the wise words of Chuckles, Jaba, etc that I saw a few years ago. Maybe it’ll save my life one day? It’s certainly made me a better pilot and instructor.

So if you’re a troll, kindly go away, and if you’re genuine (50% increase in stall speed with a 30kt tailwind? God help us all if you are genuine) stop talking and listen.

You dont need a long neck to be a goose eh. Keep the knowledge coming cap, I wish you were my instructor Lol

Jabawocky 13th Oct 2011 03:38

I think we just discovered this twerp is a Troll.

No we discovered that earlier, it is just now confirmed.

Knowing what I know I think PA38wanker is about to find it a little harder to view PPRUNE. :}

MP will always increase with an increase in altitude.
I have been sitting here for 40 minutes trying to think of something to say about this.........nope..................still nuthin'.

and then there's this...


nuts on the table

Chimbu chuckles 13th Oct 2011 05:55

Wow PA38 Fkwit...I stand in awe of your erudite ignorance. It is after all only exceeded by your bullet proof arrogance which is, without doubt, shielded by wings of steel.

Hang on while I duck into this phone box:E

I do believe his correct user name is Chimbu Chuckles. Please, "captain" show a little respect.

If you, you purile little man of abject misery, had even a modicum of intelligence, you would soon discover the answer to that question and quite possibly more than you will ever even know lies in a very quick and very simple SEARCH of this, and indeed other forum.

Perhaps you may have bitten of slightly more than you can chew here fella and I watch with the utmost interest, your ultimate demise here on pPrune.

Oh, and by the way,

you would have realised that the 777 has GE90 engines on them
****, last time I looked......this "777"

http://t1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:A...VrhzBqFm2whXiQ

had "Briggs & Strattons" on it. Why was I not told that this happened!!!! Why, why, why..........!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I HAVE been told, though, and what with all of the hoo haa going on with Flynny and his band of flying fkucwits, that the new -8 is gonna have some nice Lycoming pistons on her. Can't wait to get me first look at that fancy MP gauge climbin' outta Anchorage. Recon' she'd be up to around 367.2 inches just passn' Big Lake.

Jesus wept!

How embarrassing for PA38:O

Mods please do not lock the thread as it is full of valuable info.

Atlas Shrugged 13th Oct 2011 06:50

A lot is but there is always, well.............you know........one.

Much Ado 13th Oct 2011 06:51

Well looking at PA38 Captain's IP address it seems he is posting from Hawkes Bay, Napier, UNZED.

The working assumption is a Kindy in Lucy Rd where, having failed advanced play dough, the teacher has banished him from the craft room and he has stumbled upon a computer with internet.

You guys have fun with him for a little while longer.:E

Trent 972 13th Oct 2011 07:25

How embarrassing for PA38, a Traumahawk Captain and a Sheep Shagger. Poor bastard. :sad: Bwahahahaha!

T28D 13th Oct 2011 07:34

I want some of that manifold pressure that increases with altitude, then I could stop the wear on my Supercharger, WOW good stuff.

Maybe someone could teach me altimetry again so I can understand how this phenomena works ???????

Jabawocky 13th Oct 2011 07:48

Come on PA38guru

You can't tell me you have not rebuilt dozens of engines especially that mighty awesome O-235, so tell me all about this question I asked you about.

http://www.pprune.org/dg-p-general-a...ml#post6744060

Or do you need to be asked back into the play dough class to get some help from your friends?

jas24zzk 13th Oct 2011 09:26

Bring back auto-mixture a BMEP guage and the other bloke that knew engine and systems stuff... and some real aircraft that make real noise.

MakeItHappenCaptain 13th Oct 2011 11:18

Queen airs.....augmenters.....:E:E:E

jas24zzk 13th Oct 2011 11:19

A LOT to be said in favour of electronic fuel injection and things like FADEC.

However, once you do that, the engine boys will lose their basic fault finding skills very quickly

A LOT to be said in favour of electronic fuel injection and things like FADEC.
It would interesting to see the stats on how many unwarranted shutdowns have been caused by FADEC, compared to actual mechanical failure.

Back...so...wassup?:}
