Answer the Question / Ask a new question - Game
Ok, things have gotten pretty boring around here. How about a game? First you answer the question from the previous post, then you can ask a question. The next person posting to this post must do the same (Answer the previous question and post a new one).
Let's keep the questions somewhat jet related and see if we can't pass around some good information. Ok here it goes, I'll start this off.... Question: Describe a few things to check for while doing "Pre-flight" check at the field. JR Gautreaux |
RE: Answer the Question / Ask a new question - Game
Besides all the normal stuff.......remembering to open the manual shut off valve BEFORE initiating an engine start [X(]
I forget about every other flight!!! Mark |
RE: Answer the Question / Ask a new question - Game

ORIGINAL: daytona kid answer --call tam.............. new question --- for 200 dollars--, what and when was the first full scale jet that could hovered and then transist to normal flight? [clue-- nasa history] Question: When the FMC goes into overspeed protection and lowers the MMO upper foot suddenly during flight, what could be the possible cause? [hint, its fuel system related] |
RE: Answer the Question / Ask a new question - Game
Well, we are both correct Dan.
The X-13 was a "tail sitter" and made it's first complete cycle in 1957. The X-14 was a Harrier type (conventional and VTOL), also first complete cycle in 1957. Daytona... You can make checks out to both Dan & I, we will PM you our addresses. Lex :D |

It took off vertically from its mobile trailer, rose into the air, nosed over into a level attitude, and flew for several minutes. It then reversed the procedure to vertical flight and slowly descended to its trailer for a safe landing. |

Question: How much fuel does the smaller turbines ( like Wren 44) carry on-board and what is the typical flight time? My question: Has anyone ever experienced a turbine wheel throwing a blade, and if so, what was the result? |
RE: Answer the Question / Ask a new question - Game
Answer: yes they have and the result was devastating!!! (Recent RCJI Y/A F15 review on an early KJ66 wheel).
Question: Why have the manufacturers stopped making Kevlar burst protection shrouds for the bypass units? Can we work in British pounds for my next win though??? Gazzer |
