Flying Bull 24th Mar 2017 08:02

@ Vertical Freedom - well, doing the tests twice (1st military - 2nd civil) may help to remember more items ;-)
Or a look at the Power Check Diagrams - where you can clearly see, that the differences between sea level and 12.000 feet - at the same OAT - brings a difference from about 100 ° C in TOT....

Vertical Freedom 24th Mar 2017 08:10

Haaar yes Flying Bull............45% torque @ 25,000' :eek: note the oil pressure :ooh: fuel burn - bugger all :uhoh:

Flying Bull, are you seriously trying to teach VF about the issues of flying at Altitude!

Look at his altimeter in some of the images he posts.

SRFred 24th Mar 2017 08:44

But the "altitude" must be getting to him because he has previously posted #4073 :)

I would never dare to teach VR anything about high altitude flying!!!:=

Interesting, what other read out of a short comment so....:confused:

VR quoted, that he might have sleept a minute in groundschool - regading to my earlier post.
And that was about simple physics temperature / pressure correlations.

Whats that info good for? Try to boil an egg at sea level for five minutes - and at 20.000 feet - and enjoy the differences :E

fhegner 24th Mar 2017 13:48

Boiled eegs
 
Who would ever boil an egg when at altitude. You bring't from ground level. Nepal: 7000 feet and counting!

That poor bastard was save from sure death, since itta fell into a deep well. Guess he was checking if the earth is round:

DOUBLE BOGEY 24th Mar 2017 14:56

Hi Flying Bull when my kids were small they loved Soft Boiled Egss and Toast Soldiers for breakfast. Now cooking a boiled egg to perfection is a life skill that takes effort and work.
I used to ,and still do, tell them that the factors that must be assessed are the temperature of the egg, the OAT and the QFE to determine the exact boiling time.

I would not like to test my theories on an egg at VFs altitudes!

To be sure it must have been cold in that picture ;)

I worry about some of you It is dry atmosphere & static that causes hair to stand up like that

I dare say the start button is duplicated and either will work....just use both together for a quick start.

Obviously the earth spike needs to be buried deeper to ensure proper grounding.

Irony as an attempt to overcome terror induced by the Zp number.

The highest I've ever been was 11,000' and that was by myself in a 212...it was so terrifying I didn't think to get a photo of the altimeter for posterity.

Vertical Freedom 25th Mar 2017 03:23

Well....welll....well
 
Morning fhegner......the Muttly is just a cute feral street Dog I woke up for a scratch & cuddle just after this photo was taken (yes iPhone) :uhoh:

Those types of start buttons require a gentle outward stroking motion for instant starts. Do not push them as that will tend to cause a misfire. :ok:

Oh dear....Old Farang; so that's what I've been doing wrong :\

Note the outstanding design features to fit the engine exhaust, after the fact :rolleyes: Brand new Motorbike. I'd assumed it may have been simpler to reroute the exhaust or modify the engine mounting, just a wee bit :mad:

I would be honored for you to give me some instruction. Alas, now too old and grounded with a bad ticker. But, you are not so far away from where I now live, so what would be the best time of the year to visit where you are, and would a site seeing charter be a an option? :ok:
