Paul De Tourtoulon replied to Engine Doctor's topic in Chit-chat
First you have to have enough room to open the drivers' door, try the new mini for one. -
Got one, a Wren Jubilee, after my Wren 54 I got in kit form, another story that left me with a bad taste in my mouth,,,

For the maths experts, 800ml in 8 minutes at 35€ the 5 litres, and it's only a 15cc 2 stroke !.

I saw an old club member who had two around 5 years ago ( he is now 68) and he has gone from a complete handicapped couch potato to now walking slowly with a slight limp, no stick, and can hold a conversation without stuttering, which at first was really bad. So don't give up, it takes time. -
Forum members' new models: Let's see them.

I did fit a couple of stainless steel boat silencers to it, that made it sound like a badly silenced 10cc of the 60's. -
Yes that is a nice innovation, I would love to see a drawing and a few words to explain how it works, or is it just a hole in the cam follower ?.

Is that the 1.60m one, I had one with a Dle 20ra more than enough, really noisy, so I re motorised it with a Saito 150. -

No, an electric motor does the job, you can hear it whirring. Probably a worm gear. -

A couple of years ago, our club president was walking to work when a woman parked opposite a driving school on a zebra crossing, he asked her why she couldn't'd park further away and walk it as handicapped people in a wheelchair couldn't get past, she said mind your own business, he came back in his Gendarmerie uniform and slapped a 135€ ticket on her car. PS, it wasn't a Tesla 🤣 -

I never clip fuel lines up, I like a messy dangling approach,,,🤣; We had a petrol plane that had the same sort of problem a few weeks ago, the 30°c + weather had softened the tygon fuel line and kinked it. So is it round 4' ?. Keep it coming, it is interesting reading. -
Summer is here, who has been flying then?
