Motorized parachutes look like fun. The used ones seem a little pricey.

If your engine quits, how hard do you hit the ground?

The local restrictions here are probably necessary because of constant 
dry conditions and the subdivision being heavily forested with houses 
built among the trees.  The underbrush is like tinder.

I can't say for sure but the forward speed under power is only about 35 mph.
If there is a flat spot ahead you can glide it in for a rolling landing on
the wheels.  The airframe is pretty light so a vertical landing should be
like sport parachuting with the airframe absorbing much of the impact.

When there were a lot of complaints about a member, the list owner was 
very astute.  He would say that he never liked to ban anyone and then he 
would vote no as one of the moderators when the vote was taken.  To this 
day, he's never been blamed for suspending a member even though he 
provided the means to do so.


I think one moderator of that group; a lady named Marie Laveau in 
Louisiana, problem did sacrifice a chicken and read its entrails before 
she voted.


There are lots of Californians on that list so some them probably wear 
cloaks and pointed hats and sacrifice jack rabbits; just like those New 
Englanders wear cloak and pointed hats and sacrifice witches.


Don't know what y'all do in Ozzieland.

Re: [MBZ] Fats driving

2014-03-25 Thread Mike Esh

When I was flying radio control airplanes I built a Dallaire Sportser.  The 
wingspan was 9 feet and it  flew like a big old  kite.  I put a size .40 diesel 
engine in it and used a 16 inch prop. I would take off into the wind and it 
would be off the ground in about 10 feet.  Then you could throttle back and 
just float around and watch everyone else fly their fast machines.  For fuel 
we used a mixture of JetA (purchased at the local airport) and castor oil.  It 
was a pretty messy fuel and the plane would need to be cleaned up after a day 
of flying.  I am not sure of the mix and it seemed like we used ether as well.

Re: [MBZ] Fats driving

2014-03-25 Thread Scott Ritchey


Glow fuel is a mixture if methanol and nitromethane (up to 30%).  For
two-cycle engines it also includes oil.  

From Wikipedia:
Most model engines require oil to be included with the fuel as a lubricant
since the engine has no independent oiling capability. Model engine fuel is
typically 8-22% oil, with the higher percentages run in older design
two-stroke glow engines that use bushings for the crankshaft bearings. The
most commonly used lubricants are castor oil and synthetic oils, and many
glow fuels include a mixture of the two. The oils included in glow fuel
generally are not burned by the engine, and are expelled out the exhaust of
the engine. This also helps the engine dissipate heat, as the oil emitted is
generally hot.

So for us oldsters (pre synthetics) the distinct aroma was caster oil.

That sounds like the kind of model flying I would prefer to do, Mike.  
Never cared for flying the smaller models.
The large deed restricted community where I live provides a field and a 
club for model flying, but they won't allow anything but battery 
operated models.
Friend in Tallahassee who flew all his life; singles, twins, gliders, 
seaplanes, etc. got into electric model flying after he got too old to 
pass the physical.  He had electric planes with cameras sending video back.

I put a size .40 diesel engine in it and used a 16 inch prop. I would 
take off into the wind and it would be off the ground in about 10 
feet.  Then you could throttle back and just float around and watch 
everyone else fly their fast machines.  For fuel we used a mixture of 
JetA (purchased at the local airport) and castor oil.  It was a pretty 
messy fuel and the plane would need to be cleaned up after a day of 
flying.  I am not sure of the mix and it seemed like we used ether as 
well.

ROFL!!! Hadn't heard that before. Seem to remember 
that castor oil and whale oil was used. As late as the (60s?) whale 
(sperm) oil was used in high performance engines of that era. Castor 
oil was used in race car engines of the '40s and '50s. I think the 
popular Offenhauser engines might have required it. You could smell 
it for blocks when the cars were racing at the Tampa Fairground.

From childhood in the '30s I seem to remember two kinds of castor oil; 
plain and odorless.  The plain was a yellowish color and the odorless 
was colorless and cost more.  Most of the kids I knew got a periodic 
dose which amazingly seemed to correspond with various kinds of bad 
behavior.  My kids might have been using the odorless in their Cox engines.

Glow fuel is a mixture if methanol and nitromethane (up to 30%).  For
two-cycle engines it also includes oil.

From Wikipedia:
Most model engines require oil to be included with the fuel as a lubricant
since the engine has no independent oiling capability. Model engine fuel is
typically 8-22% oil, with the higher percentages run in older design
two-stroke glow engines that use bushings for the crankshaft bearings. The
most commonly used lubricants are castor oil and synthetic oils, and many
glow fuels include a mixture of the two. The oils included in glow fuel
generally are not burned by the engine, and are expelled out the exhaust of
the engine. This also helps the engine dissipate heat, as the oil emitted is
generally hot.

So for us oldsters (pre synthetics) the distinct aroma was caster oil.

I don't go to Walmart because it destroyed the economy of the small town I 
lived in inWisconsin when they moved into town. Probably 15 years ago, but I'm 
still bitter about it.

As for Trader Joe's, I just don't understand the attraction. The edgy people? 
(The Apple Store does that - nope.)  The funky products? Not really. Prices? 
Hardly.

If I'm missing something I would love for someone to point it out. I just don't

They have the TASTIEST wet cat food sans by-products for the price, plus
cheap chips and lots of neat frozen fish and entrees.  Their proprietary
products are very good and cost way less than the national brands.  And,
you can get nearly everything there, such as laundry soap, toothpaste,
great vitamins and minerals, and motor oil.

Well, not motor oil, but they do have the least expensive olive oil
selection from many continents.

Plus good produce, cheeses, etc.  What's not to like? Here in the DC area
people are invariably polite everywhere so you should just move up and
support our local economy.

I'm not to the point in my life where I'm having to eat cat food. Sorry.

I'm sure their stuff is good, I just don't understand why people get all frothy 
about the place.

We have a Fresh Market opening up a few blocks away in April.  Supposed to be a 
high end market focusing mainly on meats and produce.  Publix (right across the 
street) is not happy.  They have ratcheted up their marketing in the 
neighborhood.

There is a meat market right next door to the place, too.  We're taking bets to 
see how long they last once it opens.

I've read several historical accounts of WW1 pilots who flew and fought in
the open cockpit, castor oil lubricated airplanes of the era. Apparently
constant and extreme bowl movements were part of the price you paid to be
brave enough to fly the airplanes.

Several accounts are written about how much weight they lost and how truly
sick they became, between the poor sanitation of the day, and the constant
breathing of castor oil. Brave takes a new meaning.

Kaleb, it's time to start banning people for this.  This is ridiculous.
 There are a few good people left on this list still, but posts like this
seriously undermine what little community is left.  The future of the list

useful.

How many people have unsubscribe in the last few days?

And right you are. I guess I was not clear enough before. Correct me if I 
missed somebody but it seems hendrik, Loren, and hurst all have a problem with 
each other. I do not want to hear any name calling, bickering, fighting, or 
anything at all directed at one another. What does that mean? It means hendrik 
and Loren should not talk to or about Gary, Gary should not talk to or about 
the other 2. I am sick and tired of the back and forth. Everyone is sick if it. 
Take it to banned and have at it if you want but keep the name calling, foul 
language etc of here, period. If I see it again beyond today, I will start 
putting people on moderation status. If that does not work they will be banned. 
If the problem continues you will just shut down the list. This is not just 
directed at the 3 people above, it is directed at everyone. If you think you 
want to attack somebody, accuse them of something, think twice before posting 
it. It should not happen, period. Gary sells parts but is not any sort
  of official parts supplier of this list. If you think he ripped you off, do 
not buy from him. You can let me know off list if you want. If I hear many 
complaints from many people I would not allow Gary to sell parts here, but 
knowing Gary that is highly unlikely he is ripping people off. So, with that 
said I do not want to see anymore of these attacks. People do not need to be 
attacking Gary, Gary does not need to be attacking people. It is only natural 
if you are attacked you should defend yourself. That just keeps it going. No 
attacks in the first place means no problems.

  And right you are. I guess I was not clear enough before. Correct me if I
  missed somebody but it seems hendrik, Loren, and hurst all have a problem
  with each other. I do not want to hear any name calling, bickering,
  fighting, or anything at all directed at one another. What does that
 mean?
  It means hendrik and Loren should not talk to or about Gary, Gary should
  not talk to or about the other 2. I am sick and tired of the back and
  forth. Everyone is sick if it. Take it to banned and have at it if you
 want
  but keep the name calling, foul language etc of here, period. If I see it
  again beyond today, I will start putting people on moderation status. If
  that does not work they will be banned. If the problem continues you will
  just shut down the list. This is not just directed at the 3 people above,
  it is directed at everyone. If you think you want to attack somebody,
  accuse them of something, think twice before posting it. It should not
  happen, period. Gary sells parts but is not any sort of official parts
  supplier of this list. If you think he ripped you off, do not buy from
 him.
  You can let me know off list if you want. If I hear many complaints from
  many people I would not allow Gary to sell parts here, but knowing Gary
  that is highly unlikely he is ripping people off. So, with that said I do
  not want to see anymore of these attacks. People do not need to be
  attacking Gary, Gary does not need to be attacking people. It is only
  natural if you are attacked you should defend yourself. That just keeps
 it
  going. No attacks in the first place means no problems.

OK - fair enough.

I bough some rice bran oil a Trader Joe's.  It has a very high flash point
and is great for stir frying. Also, although it costs more than canola oil
a little goes a long way.  Anyone heard of or used this before?

Mobil 1 has some subtle flavor elements with slight overtones of mineral

Our okra is not very slippery - start it in a frying pan with a bit of EVOO
and the lid on. After is starts to get soft, take the lid off and let it
dry out some. Nicely cooked okra, no slime.

Take it to banned and have at it if you want but keep the name calling, foul

putting people on moderation status. If that does not work they will be banned. 
If the problem continues you will just shut down the list. This is not just 
directed at the 3 people above, it is directed at everyone. If you think you 
want to attack somebody, accuse them of something, think twice before posting 
it. It should not happen, period. Gary sells parts but is not any so

rt of official parts supplier of this list. If you think he ripped you off, do 
not buy from him. You can let me know off list if you want. If I hear many 
complaints from many people I would not allow Gary to sell parts here, but 
knowing Gary that is highly unlikely he is ripping people off. So, with that 
said I do not want to see anymore of these attacks. People do not need to be 
attacking Gary, Gary does not need to be attacking people. It is only natural 
if you are attacked you should defend yourself. That just keeps it going. No

Re: [MBZ] Fats driving

2014-03-22 Thread arche...@embarqmail.com
This is a common problem on many other lists.  The most successful 
solution I've seen is to have only one rule:  NO PERSONAL ATTACKS.  If a 
member persists with personal attacks he/she will be suspended for 30 
days.  In order for the list owner to avoid hostility from the people he 
bans, the list owner privately selects up to fifteen members as 
moderators whose only function will be to secretly vote on 30 day 
suspensions.  The votes will be sent to someone on the list whom 
everyone trusts; usually the list owner ; and the list owner will then 
take the member off the list if a majority of moderators have agreed.  
Any time after 30 days the member can rejoin.
Members can attack other members position on whatever is being 
discussed, but not other members personally.


In the 8 years I've been on one list, only two members out of 150 were 
given 30 day suspensions and both returned as valuable list members.  
The fact that the rule is there and will be enforced has a very calming 
effect on members who tend to be too outspoken.


Some hosting services have a way to conduct a survey of X number of 
moderators so that no moderators votes will be revealed.  I don't know 
if Kalebs has one or not.
