Nitrogen inflation

I awoke with a hangover in a strange house as I heard that.

The wheels on my plane spin all the time unless I put the parking brake on
after I take off. The have wind reducing fairings which cover the top two
thirds of the wheels and the wind only hits the bottom of the tyres which
spins them up.

This of course doesn't work if you have a plane with retracting landing gear
or a plane without wheel fairings.

Fuggen bastard... got his own plane... and Theo cops all the ivory jokes...

Yep; I hear they just gave it to him too!

I suppose I don't need to tell you about the difference in rotational
inertia.

I'm with Theo. A small hydraulic motor to bring the wheels up to
roughly the speed at which the plane would touch down may save quite a
bit of wear. And it has several minutes at minimum to do this, so it
doesn't have to be large and heavy either.

Yes, those wheels without fairings don't turn at speed and look surprisingly
fixed till you step one one and it spins you off coz the bluddy pilot didn't
put the brakes on.

Wheel fairing are for soft buttery wheel-poofters!

(PS.. Boris is a dirty mongrel PLAGIARIST!!
In the Dumb and Dumber story last issue he mentioned that something was bad because it "causes arse-cancer".
That's MY friggin' saying!!
I said that Pisshead not wearing a helmet through the Snowies causes arse-cancer in an Access letter and HE
STOLE IT!!
Bastard!) [secretly chuffed]

 

y not just put a little hugger thing over the top quarter of the wheel?
this would create a spinning effect no?




Someone let Nev.. at loose on an internet connection

I like my wines on the four-star+ side of sweet. If Emu Bitter is an
example of dry beer you can have it.
Dry ginger is that way because people mix it with Bourbon.

Gee, I never knew that.

That is the sort of thing I'm talking about, but the wheel fairings are more
aero dynamic than that. with all three wheel fairings fitted the plane
cruises (at the same revs) 5 knots faster than it does without them.

I reckon Kiwipete is actually Boris's long lost love child!

bad because it "causes arse-cancer".

Prolly does then...

arse-cancer in an Access letter and HE

<mental picture of Boris with clems face>

you know... that almost works


Geoff and Jodie

 

That´ll teach you to step out of a perfectly good plane...

 

Damn, it made me go out and buy a $300 helmet!

 

It's pretty sad when the only person who plagiarises you is Boris

 

She'd be pretty dry then too eh? Not what you want in a woman ...

I don't know whether I'd care, Geoff... it's a crystal-clear morning in
Canberra today, and looking up at the sky straps the same out-of-reach-dream
weight around my chest as it did 25 years ago.

 

Jokes are like opinions... they don't have to be any good to qualify for the
