A couple of people have suggested electrical issues but I don't see a response from the OP. In no special order - 1. When you close the throttle lever not only does the engine throttle valve close affecting the manifold pressure but the engine RPM drops too. Could the cause be related to the...

These are AMAZING. They are based round a single stage of a normal auto transmission, an epicyclic stage with the usual sun, planets and ring. Instead of a couple of brake/clutch things giving maybe two speeds and a neutral they have two motor/generators. One in place of each clutch/brake...

Concorde was the world's safest jet airliner for 34 years. The next day it was the world's most dangerous. The number of aircraft operating needs to be considered, somehow:).

Just switch to Know Where You Isn't navigation. 1m 39s.

I am not an expert on CG-NAT and I made a little of this up, but it will probably be pretty close. I think the hanging issue might be because Starlink (and some other ISPs) use Carrier Grade NAT, CG-NAT, CGNAT. My ISP uses it and I see this from time to time, maybe daily. A web page fails to...

"struck a power line and a road sign"

Need to get the equipment sorted. That's Helen Stewart.

You got a 100kWh battery for under $500? That's 8 x Tesla Powerwalls. They are usually a bit more than that - each.

Filtering by altitude often selects them. Didn't realize that google had given up the Loon. For some years there were always several airborne. Africa, S. America, Pacific, various. Don't think UK really has a 62,000ft tower!

I suspect it's the two stroke style exhaust port opening. No silly valves to baby, port opens faster.

I recently watched a youtube video featuring Robert "Hoot" Gibson. He has raced various piston warbirds at Reno and after that raced his own modified Cassutt Racer. Regarding the P-51 he was specifically asked if he wore a G suit. The reply was - too heavy, we are racing and the weight would be...

https://webtrak.emsbk.com/sjc3 Seems to have data for both aircraft. I have marked in red the bits to change for historical data. You need to move the map to the right place. Edited to add image showing full track of 152 as represented on web site.

Google [v8 aero engines 1922] turned up an recognizable image right away. Hispano-Suiza 8 from 1914 on License produced in US as the Wright-Hisso 140 to 350hp (later I guess) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hispano-Suiza_8 Original Poster image from The Atlantic -...

Consider - The PATH (lets just say this is Windows 'cos that's what I have here) is inherited by the command window when it starts. So changes to the path are not propagated to old command windows. Use a new command window, and maybe get rid of the old ones. Suspect Linux, Mac similar. Or of...

Oh, aviation related?

If I recall correctly, and the thing I read years ago was correct too, Wankel engines reject a greater proportion of heat into the oil than piston engines.

Imagine getting a Penis urn and it having an Eiffel Tower on it!! Symbolism gone wild.

Good to hear about the race car. Sounds great. Maybe this will help with the camera?
