Ha yes. Believe it or not I've had a few free and frank discussions with Boeing engineers about their design decisions over the years, and a few OEMs as well:) Ciao Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It is fairly clear to me that, at that altitude, the oxygen level must be rather low. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Biggest issue is some tend to suffer from the "wasn't thought of by us so I'm not going to take it seriously" mentality. Airbus wasn't much better but you had the :"French factor" to deal with as well. Ciao 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ever see Bill Murray in "Lost in Translation"? Something like that. Oh, and I had a French car. It was frequently grounded - by itself. 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
noel_lemansII 6 Posted February 7 Report Share Posted February 7 Hi, Talking of oil filters, anyone know the AF distance of the allen recess to the oil filter cover on a V11 Scura? I don't fancy spending US$100 for a special tool Thanks, Noel [UK based] Quote Link to post Share on other sites

gstallons 768 Posted February 8 Report Share Posted February 8 As I posted in another forum here , I went to NAPA and got a castle nut 27mm/ 1 1/16" and welded a 3/8" extension to the nut . For a couple of dollars , it does the job . Quote Link to post Share on other sites
docc 3,513 Posted February 8 Report Share Posted February 8 Also worth noting that we can pull a 27mm axle nut and use that the work the filter cover. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
