PostForum: Kolb-List   Posted: Wed Mar 25, 2009 6:19 am   Subject: 100LL fuel additive
Hi,

I used Marvel in the fuel of British sports cars in the '70's. Seemed to prevent sticking valves, didn't seem to hurt. I use their Air Tool oil as an after-run oil on RC 2-strok ...

Rick,

Please don't put words in my mouth. No one said 'categorically it has no effect'. To an engineer, perhaps. To a pilot, it's a moot point. Fore-and-aft CG change is of primar ...

Hi Rick,

I've neither heard of 'vertical' CG, nor found anything in any manuals. How would one calculate it, and where does this term come from? CG is just that, a point around whic ...

Hi Dennis,

I'd guess Sporty's has the right adapter. Don't wanna let the 'smoke' out! Some electronics are tolerant of the overvoltage, others aren't. Cell phones in particular can ...

Hi Mike,

Also had an ex-Gann plane sighting a few years ago, about 1975/76.
Happened at Toledo Suburban (DUH), was taxiing by some T-hangars and saw an

Hi,

IIRC, it was Narssarssuaq (sp?) in Greenland. An ADF approach with
4 or 5 heading changes, all the while descending with granite on both sides.

Guys,

David,

Sorry you feel that way, but anyone who's been around the vane-type
devices awhile can attest to their limitations. They go off routinely in
turbulence, for example. This was ...

Hi John/All,

Technically correct. If the aircraft is stalled, it can't fly. That's not to say the bird can't fly with the ASI at '0', though. Your plane can't read the ASI, so it w ...

Hi All,

I believe the term you're searching for is biennial (every other
year). Biannual is twice a year. (Looked it up in the Funk & Wagnall's just
to be sure).

Dana,

Don't forget the reduced effective wing area in a slip, along with
partial wing 'blanking' during the maneuver. Both work to hasten the
descent. Lump in the inaccurate airspeed i ...

Hi Cristal,

Trivia is great. Good on your flying! Just relax, the examiner
wants you to do well. If you catch a mistake, repent and ask for a do-over.
Most will allow it - once.
