[Vwdiesel] Rabbit droppings # 134 -- ( the FLYBOY effects. )

[H . Hagar.]

I have been a flyboy  for more than 60 years.   So I have insider information.

And by normal logic ?   --- the diesel mechanics are in the  flyboy forum   and
the flyboys are here.

Flyboy in my book is anyone who deal with aircrafts   --- any one.

I studied hard for my Urin exams at the local watering hole  ---and found that a round of beer at the mechanics table  ----would be the best investment in education --- ever, dollar for doller.

To seat rings ?   ---- yup  ---- time a magneto ?   yup   --- and why are the flyboys here ?

They found out how far a Rabbit would run on a handful of ooligans or a candle ---or at
little grease from the deep fryer. (and JP-5 ? eh guys ?) ----- And most of them are smart to starts with.

Who in his right mind would not fall in love with those little Rabbits at first sight ?.   .
Who was that guy I gave a bunch of parts for free the other year ?   Turns out he is a flyboy
and he now has as many VW diesels as Sandy Cameron.

I can feel a Rabbit attack coming on  ----I dare not put the money in the bank  ---- lest
the IRS takes it.     1982 Rabbit is going to the body shop for a facelift  that would be a good investment ? --- a makeover. -----light metallic blue --- like  Bunny Bondo.  82? She is Beige now.

So why am I pushing the flyboy angle ?    ----they have a pool of information  that can be directly
 used in getting a Rabbit hopping. Yup.

The first word I learned from those mechnics at the flying school  1953 ?    "DIESELING"




she is DIESELING   ---the damned thing would not stop by turning magnetos off..Shitty fuel
and it was a UK engine   ---Gipsy Major ?  4 cylinders(inline) upside down aircooled.

In the air it worked pretty good.  -----never heard of a failure. The starter was like a shotgun 
shell -  ---Koffmann or something ?  Very hard on my beer money.  ----if it does not start ?
the other magneto was off position.   A round for all at the end of the day.

All ?  how many ?   a lot let me tell you.   close to 50.

Well time is flying so   ---more on this some other time..

The first diesel I got my hands on ?   in 1945   was a Jumo in a flying boat.
Nice diesels    3 of em  ---- and they were destoyed by the Tommy's  . Shame on you.
Monty and Ike.(and shame on me).

One spare was saved (stolen)---by students(engineering) from University in Copenhagen .   It was still in the crate from Germany.   ---- and can be seen in a museum. to this day.  How the hell did James
Hansen know that it was Jumos ?   I did not know. ( he was right)

Blohn and Voss   I think they were.    Nice machines   ----why did they have to be destroyed ?
The E boats  was not destoyed ?   ----they were diesels  3 times 20 cylinder aircraft diesels.
BMW ?  or Mercedes ?   forget.

Hagar.
