Vi havde sat dagen af til at arbejde med Nuser og Kasper havde taget den lange tur over til KBH (Høje Tåstrup) med det offenlige. Vi startede kl 12.
Propel blav fixet og monteret. Det var lettere sagt end gjort, da vi lige skulle regne ud hvordan man nu monter propelblade på en propel hvor man kan indstille pitch. Dette er kontra spændt med en kæmpe (3-4 cm i diameter) møtrik. Og denne var naturligvis irret fast. Nu vel vi fandt en metode hvor man kunne montere blade uden at skulle skille pitch systemet ad.
Derefter, da vi havde monteret propellen, skulle Nusers motor motioneres. Det var lettere sagt en gjort, da første problem var (som ventet) at batteriet var dødt. Derefter fandt vi ud af at primeren havde sat sig rigtigt godt fast og skulle skilles ad for at blive funktionsdygtigt. Til sidst var det så lige udforderingen at få motoren så smidig (bevæget alle væskerne rundt i den) så den kunne køre. Thorbjørn fra arbejde hjalp lidt til, men måtte desværre hjem før vi fik gang i motoren. Men ved skumringstid blev stilheden på Måløv afbrudt af Nusers Bombadier motors skønne lyd 🙂
Nu mangler vi 2 bolte til udstødningen og generhvervelse af beviset, så er vi flyvende 😉

Det var lyden af 2 fem cm’s stÃ¥lbolte der vibrerede sig fri af udstødning og tog turen igennem propellen. SÃ¥dan endte denne periodes flyvning og vi forestÃ¥r nu en udskiftning af propel (5000 kr) og erhvervelse af 2 nye stÃ¥lbolte (sikkert 30 kr og 5 dage med at finde 2 som dem der forsvandt et sted 1500 fod over jorden nær Hovesenderen). Suk! Og sÃ¥ den obligatoriske og ret fustrende øvelse med at fÃ¥ flyet støjmÃ¥lt igen.
Men som Kasper siger – for en gangs skyld føler vi ikke at ekstremt kede af det som ved kølevandspakningsudskiftningerne og renoveringen af motoren sidste gang.

Snatched from the net…. I bold’ed the ones I find especially amusing..

The 25 Rules of Flying
1. Every take-off is optional. Every landing is mandatory.
2. If you push the stick forward, the houses get bigger. If you pull the stick back, they get smaller. That is, unless you keep pulling the stick all the way back, then they get bigger again.
3. Flying isn’t dangerous. Crash­ing is what’s dangerous.
4. It’s always better to be down here wishing you were up there than up there wishing you were down here.
5. The only time you have too much fuel is when you’re on fire.
6. The propeller is just a big fan in front of the plane used to keep the pilot cool. When it stops, you can actually watch the pilot start sweating.
7. When in doubt, hold on to your altitude. No one has ever collided with the sky.
8. A ‘good’ landing is one from which you can walk away. A ‘great’ Landing is one after which they can use the plane again.
9. Learn from the mistakes of others. You won’t live long enough to make all of them yourself.
10. You know you’ve landed with the wheels up if it takes full power to taxi to the ramp.
11. The probability of survival is inversely proportional to the angle of arrival. Large angle of arrival, small probability of survival and vice versa.
12. In the ongoing battle be­tween objects made of aluminum going Hundreds of miles per hour and the ground going zero miles per hour, the ground has yet to lose.
13. Good judgment comes from experience. Unfortunately, the experience usually comes from bad judgment.
14. It’s always a good idea to keep the pointy end going forward as much as possible
15. Remember, gravity is not just a good idea. It’s the law. And it’s not subject to appeal.
16. Keep looking around. There’s always something you’ve missed.
17. The three most useless things to a pilot are the altitude above you, runway behind you, and a tenth of a second ago.
18. Helicopters can’t fly; they’re just so ugly the earth repels them.
19. Never let an aircraft take you somewhere your brain didn’t get to five minutes earlier.
20. Stay out of clouds. The silver lining everyone keeps talking about might be another airplane going in the opposite direction. Reliable sources also report that mountains have been known to hide out in clouds.
21. Always try to keep the number of landings you make equal to the number of take-offs you’ve made.
22. There are three simple rules for making a smooth landing. Unfortunately no one knows what they are.
23. You start with a bag full of luck and an empty bag of experience. The trick is to fill the bag of experience before you empty the bag of luck.
24. If all you can see out of the window is ground that’s going round and round and all you can hear is commotion coming from the passenger compartment, things are not at all as they should be. And finally,
25. When in doubt, take Amtrak. They may crash more, but they don’t have to fall be­fore they do!

Idag tog vi Svigerfar Kurt med ud og flyve. Køleskabstermometeret i kabinen sagde 0 grader – men føltes (og var mÃ¥ske osse) lange koldere. Mit kamera’s knapper sad fra tid til anden fast og skærmen pÃ¥ min mobil blev den gamle menu hængende pÃ¥ skærmen 2-3 sekunder efter man skiftede til en ny.
Men Kurt fik en tur ned til Arken og op langs København – og han var ganske begejstrede da han kom tilbage.
Bagefter tog mig og Kasper på en tur Måløv -> Snertinge -> Måløv; da jeg havde lovet at tage billeder af Christinas hjemby. Vi gjorde turen på 1½ time, 25L benzin og var på vej tilbage da Kurt var nået til Skibby. Men ok vi fløj osse med en del mere gas på vej ud fordi vi ikke var sikker på at hvor lang tid det ville tage, og vi gerne ville nå ud og tage billederne.
Og billederne – de kommer nÃ¥r jeg har fÃ¥et tømt kameraet.

Ufies bidragede med denne – mÃ¥ske vores residerende SAS pilot pÃ¥ MÃ¥løv kan genkende dette?

Isnende læsning – HCL har udsendt endelige konklusioner pÃ¥ Erlings og Jørgen Abel’s haverier.
Man kan mÃ¥ske lidt hÃ¥rdt konkludere at det var overmodighed og skødesløshed der var skyld i begge. Men meget skræmmende læsning – da det understreger at vores generelle tiltro til vores udstyr og evner kan kan i overdrevne mængder lede til katastrofale resultater.
Desuden er begge rapporter håndfaste eksempler på at HCL virkelig graver til bunds og hvorfor at det nogen gange kan tage et godt stykke tid før det endelige resultat af deres undesøgelser foreligger.

Han skulle nok bruge for mere end 500 kr brændstof.

Franske Jagerpiloter lander i Amerikansk Civil lufthavn pga. vejr og
brændstof mangel. Har senere problemer med at få brændstof da deres
kreditkort ikke kan dække udgifterne til brændstof.

Vi Montere kølesystem og starter på ledningsmonteringer.

Nuser motor kommer tilbage efter shortblock renovering. Hold kæft hvor den ser lækker ud nu. PB leverer den og vi får den hængt op.
