1. Depends on the specific breaking strain of the persimmon tree but, for argument's sake, let's say it is similar to the rowtree, then you're looking at a diameter 13/16ths inch.

2. We are looking at rust acceleration here not total rust capacity. Since the rust profile is generally inverse exponential, then the younger car will rust more quickly since the other two are already total baskets cases and couldn't possibly rust anymore.

3. Equivalent to 160 pints, therefore, 13.33333 car radiators are required. Since that is a ridiculous answer, we'll say 14 rads.

4. There are 1,081 trees. Initially, each tree takes a minute to cut down. After 5 trees, a Bud will need to be partaken of. Each Bud will increase the tree-cutting time by 5% (being the alcohol content approx). This means that 217 buds will have been consumed.

5. No dogs will be killed as they're all out hunting.

6. If these are proper good-old-fashioned English acres, then there is bags of room for all appliances and a biege dralon sofa each!

7. 66/1

8. One generation since they are all family anyway.


How did I do Sassy? Bristows had better gimme a job now!!

Cheers

Typical bean counter....got all the answers but knows naught about the real world. Working on assumptions and not real data....averages and means...try again Gig! You might qualify for Air Log (A Bristow Group Company) but Houston (Not a Bristow Group Company) would never touch you?

That is not fair Sassy, you know that I am a true English Rose (actually not strictly true but I don't wish to refer to myself as an Irish Shamrock!) and I know nowt about your strange American ways. Some data, I have had to use UK standards for example, our typical ale is way, way stronger than the stuff you call beer and some data, averages have to be assumed since the full data is not given, for example, what is the diameter of the chain saw? What IS the Young's Elasticity Factor for a persimmon tree? Sloppy questions my sweet!

Anyway, Houston's loss :8

Cheers

zxcvbn - get with it sweetie. Sassy is an old and venerable pilot of the Huey. There are photos of him and said Huey on this forum. He is not a 14 year old kid (although I suspect he was once, sometime before I was born!).

If that fellow is 14 years old then I want to know what he's been drinking!

Chuks Dear Boy....

Just like that teenaged 212man.....lots of Gulder! If you had not stuck to all those Shirley Temples you too might have held onto yer youth as we have.

That's the second time you've had a go at SASless.He's chosen to ignore you on both occasions, and now treats your challenge to post his resume with the disdain both you and your challenge deserve.
What do we know about your 'resume'?

Your post February this year:

R22, eh? Keep at it and you'll probably move up to the R44 soon.

i have 25 hours night, logged under the FAA system
does any of this count towards a jaa night rating? do i have to do the full 5 hours with a jaa instructor? or just a checkride? any ideas?

25 hours night! On your own? In the dark? That's very impressive.


With 10,000 hours, 2000 US Army instructing, two Chinook combat tours in Vietnam, flying Hueys in the National Guard and flying numerous types all over the world in his logbook, I guess SASless doesn't feel the need to prove himself to some upstart.
When (or, if) you ever get enough experience to be worthy of carrying his flight-bag, your comments might not look so pathetic, but perhaps by then you'll be more mature and won't feel the need to make them.

SASless is a valued contributor to this forum. So far, the few (just about) useful things you've contributed to the forum are some snippets of training information for your fellow wannabees.


Heliport

Ah! Now we get to the bottom of it. zxcvbn is just peeved because his silly robot/man-in-a-suit video got moved to Jet Blast.

There are reasons for moving threads to more appropriate forums; one of them being that, in the moderator's opinion, the thread would receive a wider and more appreciative audience than the current forum.

Ain't no big deal and since Jet Blast is more popular than Rotorheads, should be taken as a compliment.

You may well have intended your posts having a pop at Sassy as "jokes" but that's not how I read them or, indeed, did Heliport. So, if two (or more) people misinterpret your tone, then you need to re-examine your tone and maybe consider the use of smilies.

It doesn't take much to do some research on here and before you make personal comments about someone, it's best to check their past posts.

If you want to have a pop, my "posts per day" is higher than Sassy's AND I have a full-time job. So what! All that means is that I don't have a television.

Cheers

Whirls




The robot thread was moved to Jetblast by one of the Admins because it had nothing to do with helicopters or aviation.
Heliport

....and Whirls is a whole lot better looking than I am too.:)

That's certainly true. :)


Anyway, back to the thread .....................

Ah Sassy, im going to have to agree with you on that one!

Keep up the posts. I always enjoy reading your posts, they make me laugh! After the personal tour you gave me of your Huey at Helitech at Duxford your posts are always great to read!

Keep them coming!

Ps. You must know the sayings:-

You know your a red neck when.....

Some of them sound familiar in your above posts!!!

:ok: :ok:

SAS, while Whirls may be better looking I think Heliport is your #1 fan. Not that there's any doubt that Whirls is a close second.

Make that definitely better looking. :)

I'm a great fan of all the experienced pilots from all over the world who give their time to the forum, both generally and to helping beginners achieve their ambition.

A forum is only as good as its members - and we're very fortunate with ours.


H.

Actually, I'd quite like to read SASless' resume. I think it would make great reading - is it posted anywhere?

G'day all,

It's interesting how the first people to question another's credentials are often (not always) those just starting out. I would have thought that if you're a little lacking in the experience department, some discretion might be in order before "challenging" with a demand of their resume.

I would also assume it polite to provide a brief description of one's own credentials if the object is to compare experience or justify one's right to pprune away. It's a wise man/woman that know's his/her limitations...

P68:D

By the way SASless,

I didn't even know where to start with your GoM entry tests! Down here in Oz we're not too bright but we can lift heavy things.

P68:D

Speak for yourself P68 !

:ouch:

Sorry trap,

No harm intended. In any case, I have a dodgy back so I'm not even sure I fullfil the "I can lift heavy things" part of the equation.

P68:D

"Just like that teenaged 212man.....lots of Gulder"

Hardly touched the stuff! Had a very unfortunate experience with some (lots!) of Satzenbrau (Gulder's big brother) and pretty much stuck to Heineken/Becks etc thereafter.

Shortly to leave my teens, sadly; currently twenty nineteen, but soon to be twenty twenty!:{

Any chance we could have the multi-choice version of the test?:ok:

212man,

If you had a truly bad experience with Satzenbrau you'd look at least twenty thirty !!

I recall sharing a car from Lagos to Warri with Sas about 15 years ago. We got "checked" 17 times on the way. When we got there (7 hours later), I headed straight for the bar and had a very bad experience with Star............ never touched it since.:ouch:

NEO:ok:

You must be a marine!
