    Missed it by that much. I was outbid

    Excellent! I will write you a personal, post-date check, written on a napkin in crayon, drawn on the Nacional Banko a Mumbulu. When can I expect delivery?

    Weird ways to get fired at work

    OK, I admit it. I worked for two companies at the same time. Double dipped. I was a field rep for a piece of equipment that was NEVER allowed to go down during trading hours. We could only service it after 11PM and before 4AM. So, during the days, I had a LOT of dead time. My boss knew this and...

    LLC Owners. What's this FinCEN thing about?

    For those who don't care, and just want to fill it out, it's not a complicated deal, and choosing to send the info in is a personal decision. However, some of us control one or more LLC, and personally, I find the whole thing far beyond the enumerated powers we give the govt. So, I chose not to...

    Weird ways to get fired at work

    Not me but I was there: We supported First I-state Bank data center. Go in with a woman new to the job, but says she has 6 years in 'IT technology'. I have to go on the mainframe floor to check on an IBM water-cooled massive computer, one of 3 in the building and check on a warning msg. I card...

    The "Back in my day" Thread

    There are almost 1400 different record/tape jackets for this album. From Finland to Namibia many different stylist minor changes, but anyone around the globe seeing any of these knows exactly what it represents, with or without the writing.

    Weird ways to get fired at work

    I was on Reddit a while back and there were some pretty good stories. I got fired from a job a long time ago and it was kinda interesting. I'll try to condense; We were a team of about 10 engineers. Two of us had advanced degrees and were sort of the leads. We got a new boss with a PhD, and he...

    "So you'll..." is a change in the statement I made which is not congruent to my original statement of not having a top 3 req. You have made an exaggeration of your own point, and then claiming it represents my point of view. I will evaluate the guy/girl working on my plane that may not be in the...

    Continental 0470 R - Cylinder Replacement Inevitable?

    Thermodynamics says that increased pressure of a gas produces adiabatic heat. which is why the compression readings of a 10:1 C/R is greater than 10X the MP. In a thermo-static condition, the gas flow of the larger volume would create a higher adiabatic temp of the gas flow in the O-470...

    I encourage you to use the ignore feature. I don't want anyone to be troubled by my posts. However, I'm not sure what your problem is with my posts. If you have some specifics besides 'edge' I'd welcome corrections.

    Now I think you're being disingenuous. Or, did you intend to mislead by changing "casual" to "causal"? "...casual factor"; post #69 A regression cannot 'cause'(sic, proper tense of causal) the event.

    Continental 0470 R - Cylinder Replacement Inevitable?

    The same size valve must pass about 45% more hot gas(spent fuel/air) in the O-470 engine during the same exact piston speed. I'm not sure what other factors need to be explained. Either the O-200 exh is way, way over designed or the O-470 will retain more heat in the valve, seat, guide due to...

    Continental 0470 R - Cylinder Replacement Inevitable?

    Sure there's more to the story than just the volume of air passing the exh valve. I didn't say the valve size was exclusive or determining. However, the TCM SB03-3, while it now refers to all TCM cyl, was originally developed for the O-470 and E-225(470 Cu/In), and later expanded to include all...

    If you're referring to me, I didn't mention declining ground speed except as a collection of data points for the regression analysis. The results of the output does indicate a declining airspeed up to just prior to the accident. And not a 'casual' factor, but a contributing factor. Please try...

    No, I don't. I've been on the planet a while, and in GA for many decades. I've seen it at more FBO maint facilities than I can recall. The idea of 'huh - I don't know, but lets replace the XXX and test it again'. Very common with the cylinder pull discussion vis-a-vis Mike's different process...

    Continental 0470 R - Cylinder Replacement Inevitable?

    Something I learned when moving from an airplane with an O-200 up to a plane with an O-470. the exhaust valve dia is identical in the two engines. The O-200 is 50Cu/in per cyl. the O-470 is 78.3Cu/In per cyl. Various sub-categories of the two engines operate at redline of 2650-2725RPM. Meaning...

    They are not mutually exclusive 'things'. I focused on one aspect of the accident "chain", because when I looked at the plot of speeds on the chart I saw something that hit me in the linear regression head. I used to work in an area where I could determine with decent accuracy future breakpoints...

    What Plane Should I Get Next?

    That mission, in that enviro, with the speed wanted, I get a plane with another engine. https://www.controller.com/listing/for-sale/216829763/1976-aerostar-601p-slash-superstar-ii-piston-twin-aircraft Uber-mensch. Would not be ashamed to show up on the Vineyard behind the yoke of this...
