French kiss ?......French fries?......French history?.....French dressing?......French what?

Thank you....I ran out......why would @ChristineM be so inconsiderate as to not communicate what she means ? Her and her Scot chum may know the code, I sure don't like people being so....so....secretive..eh...

@Revoltingest french engine, are you not following the conversation or did you just want an excuse to gripe?

I'm curious about the final outcome.
I guess I'd better hit the hay before the hay hits me.

Unless he was thrown to one side, the outcome was likely lethal. :oops: Those hay rolls are usually over 1,000 lbs ( >450kg). At velocity, the bones of his limbs and his ribs would fracture, and lethality would depend upon which internal organs were ruptured…..much like a car vs pedestrian collision.
Those bales are also not soft and giving. It’s like a 5 foot diameter wooden log.

OK. I found it. He did get thrown to one side, so he lived. :) Failing at your try for a Darwin Award would count as a win. Right? :rolleyes:

I also have a replica Ferdinand Forest engine.
The original is French, ca 1883.
It's a non-compression 2-cycle flame ignition engine.
The Lenoir cyle....he was French too.
I'm thinking of selling it.
(Too many other things demanding attention.)

It immigrated here back around 1917 though.
It no longer has a French accent.
Hey...would you happen to have a carb for it?
(Technically, it's not a carburetor...different kind
of gas valve, one without a float.)


Nope, sorry, it's not the sort of thing i keep about my person. And I'm thinking you'd have a hard time finding one.

A carburetor won't be much good for an aircraft engine. Flying at funny angles (especially upside down) may cause the demise of the whole idea of flying.

That is a clever engine, two people can walk holding the engine between them and pretend they are scrap iron powered

Been back from a funeral for about 10 minutes. The dear old lady died age 95, now that's winning.

Carbs are commonly used on airplanes that don't fly upside down.
