1985 HJ75 Pickup

Um,

Those go on the hood, not the back.

Now see that's where you are wrong ..... The HJ75 is slow enough that I have to be concerned with being overtaken by bugs from the rear. Some of those little suckers can fly fast. : )

Does your European DD have this issue?

Does your European DD have this issue?

True story ..... Hit a single bird leaving Frankfurt recently ( hit just above the F/O's window ). At several hundred miles per hour the bird didn't fare well however the bird did get the last laugh. Upon reaching Charlotte, the FAA mandated inspection required 4+ hours to inspect the aircraft with included taking a DNA sample from the birds remains. In the old days, you whack a bird, clean the windshield with Windex and press on. I miss the old days.

Is anyone getting this message when they try to post or is it simply an issue with my IPad?

Last time I got that error, when I came back to the thread, I had multi-posted about 10 times. Took a lot of post deletions to fix it.

I switched to the OEM wisecracks, the extra bouncy ones, doesn't happen as often.

Seems if you are anything but a full browser, you get a lot of errors.

Someone PM'ed me and said they had tried to "like" one of my posts and got the same error message above.

 

[cruiserdan]

I get them at work and at home. It makes you think you didn't post when in fact you did. I ignore them now and refresh the page.


in fact it just happened when I posted this response......

 

[OGBeno]

Well the home problem is because you are still on smoke signals....

 

[cruiserdan]

How's that for a signal.....

 

[OGBeno]

Your use of the new and improved smilies is now "expert" status!

Brake Issue .....
While I still have brakes, I have virtually no pedal travel and the brakes takes more leg to stop the HJ. I'm told that brake boosters hardly ever fail but in my case it might be the culprit. The vacuum pump appears to working normally.
Opinions? ..............

Do you have brake fluid in the master cylinder? Clean?

All is well there .....

Hmmmm .... thrust reversers

I do not know if it has one, but if there is a check valve in the vacuum line, is it OK?

Plan to do more troubleshooting tomorrow however at present it doesn't appear to be a vacuum issue.
A 2H doesn't produce much forward thrust much less reverse thrust.

go buy a vacuum tester and get R done.

Located a booster just in case.
