Re: [MBZ] OT - Interesting DC-10 Article

2022-06-03 Thread Peter Frederick via Mercedes
The story is a bit more complicated than that, obviously.

The L1011 was a much more advanced airframe, and the effort Lockheed put into 
the rear engine placement paid off in about twice the rudder area allowing 
engine placement further out on the wing.  Made the L1011 more fuel efficient 
and easier to fly.

Both planes suffered from some design or manufacturing problems — a all flying 
(one piece elevator/stablilizer)  tail bearing on the L1011 froze once nearly 
causing an accident when one elevator became locked in place just after takeoff 
causing some issues (but not a crash), but I don’t think any of the crashes of 
L1011’s was due to a design fault.

The big problem with all the wide-bodies was a weak floor.  Even the original 
747 had a floor that would collapse into the hold if the hold decompressed for 
some reason (blown door for instance, fire in the cargo, foreign object 
impact), but this was never an issue before the floors were upgraded in the 
late 70s because no one crashed one to reveal the problem.  Boeings doors, 
while problematic to close and seal initially, never blew off after being 
pressurized, nor did any on an L1011.  The weak floor is what crashed the 
Turkish airlines plane because the floor failure severed or jammed both control 
cables and hydraulics in all three systems to the tail, and pulled the rudder 
over and the elevators down when it happened.  No way to avoid the crash.

The Souix City crash was due to a failure of the main turbine disk in the 
center engine that detonated the engine and cut all three hydraulic systems.  
Miracle that anyone survived at all, let along half the passengers.  Another 
stupid defect because GE had decided than since they never found a flaw in a 
turbine disk they didn’t have to X-ray them after manufacturing, and this one 
had a casting flaw.  Truly brilliant, I think, and why GE is a leftover joke in 
manufacturing.

The problem with the door on the DC-10 was really the latching mechanism — it 
was changed by the American Airlines requirement that it be electrically 
operated rather than hydraulically as the Boeing door it was copied from, with 
the result that it could be partially latched but the latches would not slip 
open under pressure, the actuator sheared off instead.  Nothing wrong with the 
actual design of the over-center latch that would push harder closed under 
pressure after the “hook” goes over the center line, but the electric actuator 
can stall if there is too much friction and will NOT slip back like hydraulic 
actuators will.  If it slips open when the pressure starts to rise, the door 
will probably be torn off and the plane won’t pressurize, but no damage to 
empennage or fuselage bad enough to endanger th plane will occur — has happened 
several times to 747s and other aircraft using hydraulic latches.  

To prevent that, McDonnell Douglas set up a worthless locking/unlatch detection 
system with the vent flap driven directly off the operating handle instead of 
the far end of the lock system (like Boeing’s was).  After the Turkish Airlines 
crash the locking system was modified to match the Boeing one, and there was 
never another instance of door failure after pressurization.  The original 
locking/latch detections system should have resulted in the failure of 
certification, it was as bad as the 737 Max auto system using one instrument 
that crashed those, totally inexcusable.  It was also adjustable, so i you 
backed off the pins they would neither detect a partially closed latch nor 
prevent the vent door from closing (it seems a knee was applied to the handle 
in one instance….) and left the door very very unsafe.

The head of the FAA at this period was a Nixon appointee who had been the CEO 
of Beechcraft I think, who was “allergic” to Airworthyness Directives.  He 
preferred the “ gentleman’s agreement” system of ensuring airworthiness, with 
the results that several crashes due to known but unrepaired problems like 
cracked wing spars and corrosion issues were “fixed” by the airlines as they 
saw fit with “guidance” from the FAA rather than having the aircraft declared 
un-airworthy until fixed. Needless to say, may were NOT repaired with any speed 
as they were expensive fixes, and more crashes occurred.  Terrible idea.  

Compound that with the general chaos of the airline industry in the early 70’s 
with the oil crisis and all that, and it appears that the paperwork for the 
Turkish airline was comprimised during manufacture — it was “orphaned” when the 
original buyer backed out after it had been started and sat idle for several 
years.  Big mess, never fully cleared up.

Both aircraft were too large for the market, especially after fuel prices 
tripled and passenger bookings plummeted.  McDonnell slashed the price (it was 
originally higher than the L1011!) to get sales and then didn’t have the 
capacity to build the planes, Douglas had pretty much fallen apart as Douglas 
Sr. was getting well

Ordered tubes for the lawnmower tires instead of new tires because it was much 
cheaper. Get tube in. Tire still leaks the same as before. I can only conclude 
I poked a hole in the tube getting the tire back on. In the meantime it’s so

[MBZ] 124 Wagon

2022-06-03 Thread Donald Snook via Mercedes
Anything special to look out for 124 gasser wagons that would be different than 
the Sedans? I suppose the SLS and accumulators would be the primary thing? 

On later 124, the other things to check are the wiring harness and the 
evaporator. Right?  I keep finding 124 wagons for sale and they are really 
growing on me.

[MBZ] OT: No Moose, how about a WWII Vet story instead?

2022-06-03 Thread mitch--- via Mercedes

Is Wilton reading this?

https://piccoloshash.blogspot.com/2022/06/piccolo-and-ww2-vet-very-whacked-out.html


I always have kind words for aircrews while boarding and it always seems 
to pay huge dividends.


I took my seat and noticed the guy next to me was an ancient and made a 
mental note of it.


The minute we went gear up I asked the attendant I had spoken with how 
to get a damned drink without that stupid app. I was asked what I wanted 
and replied, bourbon, if they had it. He said there was some unaccounted 
for scotch on board if that worked. It would, I told him.


A few seconds later he quietly dropped not one, but FOUR little bottles 
on my lap. Two probably would have been perfect.


I turned to the old man next to me and offered him two of them which he 
gratefully accepted. It proved to be tongue loosener and when I asked 
him if he was a WW2 vet he said he had been.


As some of you know I have a knack for getting good stories out of WW2 
vets, what few of them we have left.


I asked him where and he replied he had been a waist gunner in a B-17 
and knocked back the second drink and started telling his tale.


The story was so whacked out it had to be true because you can't make a 
story like that up. This is his story as best as I can remember it.


After graduating from a Catholic high school he joined the Air Corps and 
quickly washed out of primary flight training for some untold reason. 
When he joined he never mentioned that from grades 7-12 he had taken 
French. He was fluent in the language and had been one of the officer of 
the school 'French Club'.


I looked at this old geezer and saw that not only was he spry but was as 
sharp and clear minded as he had probably been when he was twenty. 
Clearly he was no doddering old geezer.


He was on his 6th mission against the sub pens at St. Nazaire when he 
got shot down. He said that it was a wasted endeavor because the 
reinforced concrete roofs were so thick even direct hits had little or 
no effect on them.


When a fire broke out the pilot gave the order and he immediately hit 
the silk and seconds later the plane blew up. He said he doesn't know 
what happened to the rest of the crew.


As he was hanging in his parachute he said he was preoccupied with 
coming up with a plan of escape that he didn't notice the ground coming 
up and he hit the ground like a sack of potatoes.


On the way down he had contemplated all of the escape and evasion 
lectures and said to himself that most of it didn't apply to him because 
he spoke French. He was going to try and evade.


The instant he got up he took off everything that was GI and could be 
used to identify him and hid it in a nearby pig sty. "There I was," he 
said. "Bollickey bare assed  running around in some French village."


"What if you had been caught?" I asked.

"At that point I figured I'd just babble my way into an insane asylum," 
he replied. "It would have been a lot easier and less risky to escape 
from a nut house than a PW camp."


I laughed like hell. I liked the way this guy thought.

"Anyway, things started happening fast. I saw a pair of muddy boots on 
someone's porch and grabbed them. There were a little large but I 
couldn't be picky at the time. Next I saw a clothes line and ran over to 
it and helped myself to a damp set of clothes that were a little large 
but were not obviously so. It was none too soon because when I did the 
last button a German squad of six soldiers popped up. They saw me and 
said they were looking for an American parachutist. They spoke German 
and I looked at them confused until one of them that spoke French 
translated." he explained.


"That's where I almost messed up because I pointed towards a wood line 
and in French I said, 'He went thataway!' straight out of an old 
American western. I figured I'd better smarten up right then and there. 
If I had told them to 'head him off at the pass' I would have probably 
given myself away," he continued.


"Anyway, the French speaking German asked if I would help find the 
parachutist (who was me) and I said I would. I spent the next few hours 
helping the squad of krauts try and find the missing parachutist to no 
avail."


"Now after the war this saved me a lot of work, time money and trouble 
because  unlike that guy in the Somerset Meegham novel that went to 
Tibet trying to find himself I had already tried to find myself  in 
France and I was nowhere to be found!" he laughed.


"Then what?" I asked.

He explained that he worked his way north by east. His plan was to get 
to a fishing village along the channel and maybe try and steal a boat 
and sail for England.


He told of getting occasional rides in horse drawn carts from the locals 
and had some kind of story made up about wanting to see his sick mother 
and how he had a job as a laborer building defenses for the Germans. He 
said most people accepted the story as he told it. One didn't.


The farmer took him home and he spent the ni

[MBZ] 123 Wagon

Pretty cool 123 Diesel Wagon. Has a new (upgraded) injection pump that the 
seller claims raises HP to 200. 

https://thembmarket.com/1982-mercedes-benz-300td

It also has 472K miles! It would be fun to get it to 500,000 (or more).

I didn't do any research. I thought that looked like a valve cover.

That a pretty interesting car, can't say I've seen one around here.

Re: [MBZ] Another price drop, having a hard time resisting. Appears to have heated and cooled seats

When it was $2700 I offered $2k. Lowest he would go $2600. Maybe he will take 2 
now? I find it suspicious nobody has bought it yet. I’m not convinced it really 
is a CDI but guy says it’s a diesel.

Re: [MBZ] Japanese NSU Copy

2022-06-03 Thread mitch--- via Mercedes

That looks like a 4 cylinder in the same chassis as the R100.
I've seen one or two R100 in the last 20 years.

I've seen a few 1970s piston engine pickups. My brother even owned a 
B1600 once upon a time.


But I've never before seen a Mazda piston engine passenger car older 
than a GLC.
And a 1971 sedan with a bigger engine than my brother's 1974 pickup, 
that's kind of wow.

Most US import Japanese cars from that timeframe were 1200-1400cc.
