True.. the X-1 did have straight wings... and it departed out of the

After taking apart the trunk latch in the 250 C, and deducing what

worst part of all this.

But the X-1, the first aircraft to break the sound barrier, had straight
wings.

Welcome to the world of aerodynamic design. There is no perfect design,
there is only the balance point between various design features, which
constantly change with speed, air density, load, drag [induced and
parasitic], and of course, thrust...

That was my first thought on seeing the planform. Forward swept wings
can be unstable, or marginally stable, which does not leave the pilot a
lot of room for error. It makes a plane highly maneuverable though
since they are either marginally statically stable, or unstable. There
was one desi

That is pretty neat. Wonder how it will fly. Those forward swept wings might
make it unstable?

I've been having cold weather problems with a w210 doing similar. I suspect
that water is in one of the vacuum lines and freezes when it gets really cold...

Robert,
you could do an Oil Analysis through me or elsewhere - I have operated
youroil.net for about 15 years -- I will send you a sample Analysis
report so you will see what you will get for about $20. If your report
shows coolant in the oil you likely have a head gasket leak. OTOH, I

Some shops have a device that can detect water/coolant in the exhaust.
You will get some initially as the system heats up and the condensate
boils off, so testing when everything is hot is what you would want to do.

Perhaps, but that'll be somebody else's problem.
I have many horns, but I'd only brought the one.
I suspect a string of plastic beads would work
better, there's a rather sharp bend to negotiate.

i'd think someone like compression numbers would be most fundamental.

what are the cylinder compression numbers?
have you made any effort to figure out where the coolant is escaping from?

After a few suggestions to look at the head gasket possibility again, I did.
The oil is very clean but the coolant reservoir is about 3/4 low although very
clean. The head gasket was changed by the dealer at about 73K but that was
over 10 years ago. The car was in storage much of the tim
Yeah, good point. As far as being hard to remove-- I always use the
