Novarossi engine spares.

[Tim Procter]

Now showing on Fastlads website..

Sad thing is have you seen the price of the spares..

£8.29 for a Glo-Plug.

£24.99 for a rear bearing..

I love the engine but I certainly don't like the spares prices.

They say all good things come at a price Tim

I guess you will not be flying it as much now them

It will be a cold day in hell when I don't go flying Rob.

Engine makes good power but I wish I'd held out for the OS 55

The general quality is not even close to YS/OS standard and I don't think it will be any more powerful than either of them. I think once the OS hits the shops and the price drops a few quid it will be the way to go.

It's nice to have more power,if only to cover up my poor collective management but in reality I would prefer to have a motor I can just plug in and go. If I could go back I would sooner have spent £120 on an OS 50 and gone out and flown the thing instead of spending time and fuel trying to get the rossi to run.

Funny that Tim, I was expecting that reply

If the bearings last and contribute to good power then they are worth the money.They are not bought off the shelf but produced at the Novarossi factory.

Quoted output on the Novarossi is higher than the quoted power on the O.S .55.

Is this a true reflection? We will have to wait and see.

The following is an actual question given on a University of Washington engineering mid-term. The answer was so "profound" that the Professor shared it with colleagues, and the sharing obviously hasn't ceased...

Bonus Question: Is Hell exothermic (gives off heat) or Endothermic (absorbs heat)?

Most of the students wrote Proofs of their beliefs using Boyle's Law, (gas cools off when it expands and heats when it is compressed) or some variant. One student, however, wrote the following:

"First, we need to know how the mass of Hell is changing in time. So we need to know the rate that souls are moving into Hell and the rate they are leaving. I think that we can safely assume that once a soul gets to Hell, it will not leave. Therefore, no souls are leaving. As for how many souls are entering Hell, let us look at the different religions that exist in the world today. Some of these religions state that if you are not a member of their religion, you will go to Hell. Since there are more than one of these religions and since people do not belong to more than one religion, we can project that all souls go to Hell. With birth and death rates as they are, we can expect the number of souls in Hell to increase exponentially.

Now, we look at the rate of change of the volume in Hell because Boyle's Law states that in order for the temperature and pressure in Hell to stay the same, the volume of Hell has to expand as souls are added. This gives two possibilities:

1. If Hell is expanding at a slower rate than the rate at which souls enter Hell, then the temperature and pressure in Hell will increase until all Hell breaks loose.

2. Of course, if Hell is expanding at a rate faster than the increase of souls in Hell, then the temperature and pressure will drop until Hell freezes over.

So which is it?

If we accept the postulate given to me by Teresa Banyan during my Freshman year, "...that it will be a cold day in Hell before I sleep with you.", and take into account the fact that I still have not succeeded in having sexual relations with her, then, #2 cannot be true, and thus I am sure that Hell is exothermic and will not freeze."

This student received the only A.

Brilliant!
