The National Transportation Safety Board found the carburetor’s main metering jet was loose. This allowed too much fuel to flow, which led to the loss of power. This vital piece is necessary for the plane to run as it mixes the proper amounts of gas and air of the engines operating speeds. They believe the part loosened over the years stemming from the time when the plane was rebuilt and restored 17 year ago. The National Transportation Safety Board believes that because there was no manual of instructions on maintaining the main metering jet.

    Built Ford Tough. When one thinks of a company that manufactures pickup trucks, one would envision a company that builds the toughest, meanest, longest lasting truck ever- huge four wheel drive off road machines, with poor gas mileage-a tool to get the job done. This is definitely what I envisioned. Similarly, one could assume the target audience for a pick-up would be brawny, blue-collared construction workers or farmers who tow huge loads on dirt roads with ruts galore. They require a machine-better yet-a tool for work, something that is tough, manly, and no-nonsense.…

    Mad Max: Fury Road is a spectacular film, and while it may not seem to be the most thought-provoking movie, there is a lot of hidden depth that can be discovered. Performing more than just a cursory viewing allows one to see the hidden themes and ideals presented in a seemingly vacuous movie, and looking past the dust and explosions allows one to see the characters develop along with the setting and landscape.
