Suggestion

Why not have a sticky thread called ‘idle speculation – warning, may contain nuts’ into which theorists can throw all ideas and satisfy the desire (which we all have from time to time) to throw in theories based on what we know.

This thread can run forever, can be ignored at will – and anyone tempted to do their speculating on a thread like this one can be immediately directed there.

Gas patches?

It’s true, the circumstances of Robs escape still amaze me weeks later.

Surprised to see a s***e paper like The Guardian running such a good article, thought they’d be too busy blaming the Tories for the riots:dev2:

So.. you thought wrong. I suppose the moral is read the paper before calling it names – especially when it means bringing unecessary political prejudice into a forum that is better without it.

Hi

As an apparent ‘newbie’ – can you tell us more about your project? I am particularly interested, for reasons that might become clear if you look at my previous posts..

We might be able to help.

Cheers,

Matt

Excellent idea. It’s not all about expensive ‘aviation grade’ materials or components either. There are savings to be made (especially, but not uniquely) by going elsewhere for bits and pieces outside of the aviation world. For example – buy protective tape to put under fabric from Staples, and not a ‘well known aviation stockist’ and it’s less than half the price. I’d go further and suggest that tips like this, as well as guides and ‘how tos’ are also put onto this database.

PS – Mike, can these dished holes be up to 5 inches across? If they can, I am VERY interested as well.
