    Put O ring on to mallion then the bridal, put a half twist in the O ring and put it on the mallion tighten mallion. They idea is that the O ring holds the bridal tight to the mallion to stop it slipping/sliding during deployment which could cause friction/heat enough to weaken the bridal. Same idea on your wings lines.

    The amount of oil that then gets burnt is very much smaller than normal hence the low emissions.

    But how many more would you do if takeoff and landing were really easy on wheels?

    You only need a supercharger if the air does not go through the engine. The air is forced up in to the cylinder by the piston going down with the reed valves closed. The expansion chamber is tuned to push as much of the fresh air/fuel mix back in to the cylinder that has passed straight through due to the open port design of the engine. If fuel is injected after the ports are both closed then it cannot escape.

    You need direct injection (injector in the head) PROS Fuel economy doubles more power emissions drop to equivalent four stroke Smoother running easier starting no expansion chamber no having to mess with carb settings no fuel mixing needed CONS More electronics to go wrong high pressure fuel pump needed Air compressor needed (to atomise the fuel in the combustion chamber Oil in to crank needs sorting separate oil tank

    If you bought it and divided it up in to 12 separate plots with different owners then you could fly every day. 28 rule is from any land that is owned by the same person, so if you had 8-10 owners with their own plots you would be ok all year.

    I have a project in mind and need to transfer the power from a 600cc four stroke engine approx 20-30 Hp, similar to the lower end of an outboard motor or the rear wheel of a shaft driven motorcycle. Requirements light weight Compact If possible Low maintenance Pete

    No as thats regarded as part of farming. Livestock.
