I studied much yesterday about new concept automobiles delivered in Japan recently when I visited the German dealers VW and Autounion. From the beginning "Torsion-Beam" rear trans-axle designed cars were discriminated in my mind from my selection, so, a newly produced "The Beetle" was out of my sight, because it was so designed on it's catalog. But, I happened to peeping into rear axle construction with face down looking into from the bottom of The Beetle, then I found out a black thick horizontal bar, I thought it to be a stabilizer or something immediately to see that, but careful checking to it's the occur and the stop revealed it to be nothing but a lateral force supporting rod with rubber bushes on both ends. I just remembered my past experience when I replaced my automobiles from TOYOTA EP82 Starlet into TOYOTA NCP10 Vitz RS, both of them had the same 1,300cc displacement, but had completely different rear axle construction, former one had 3 linked with lateral rod construction and the latter one did just an easily movable torsion beam one without any countervailing power for lateral force like lateral rods. I had often feel a necessity of forming a lateral force supporting rod. Now, I found out the exactly the same figure that my embodies at all in the rear axle construction of The Beetle's one. In addition, the rigid rear axle constructive design is not always inferior to independent one especially on slippy road conditions like snowy or muddy road surfaces. In another words, the independent rear suspension makes it difficult to control well especially for less experienced ordinary drivers.
Consequently, I have added "The Beetle" in my recommended vehicle in the condition that it's trans-axle had been well improved enough to satisfy user's indispensable requirement without any inconveniences like a critical defect on the dry type 7 speeds DSG trans-axle construction, yes, clutch judder phenomena.
Even now the phenomenon on the Earth follow the ancient law of Physics mentioned in the famous article "Principia" written by Prof. Isaac Newton who lived 200 years ago.

Rookie 10 was destroyed before taking off because of an expected accident, just fell down from the shelf, that happened just because of my own careless attitude, consequently, it is now under repairing and reconstruction especially on the tail wings, additionally, most favorite and well balanced propeller, Graupner Super Nylon 9*5 was broken by the falling shock, this part must have played a part of shock absorber. Tarmac storage location should be well considered from now. This unnecessary work would finish in 2 or 3 hours and be ready for flight safely.

As for Phimpy 12 motor glider, complicated push-pull rods constructions are finished and almost be in the final finish. Motor Glider is one of my interested field, so I'm excited and looking forward to fly it in very near future.

Remembering the past of my experiences, on Volvo 244 GL, the steering stability was lost remarkably soon after replacing the original steering wheel into a smaller & lighter genuine leather covered GT model's one. So, the steering were replaced as they were. The reason for the unstable condition while straight running was due to the reduction of reduction of diameter from 400mm to 360mm so I thought, but, the factor of the weight of wheel itself might have been an important factor that could not be overlooked on earth? Physiologic standing point of view, Inertia phenomena factor should be focused when some dynamic movement is considered? Comparing the weights of two wheels set in BC7 SUBARU Legacy LSi US model, MOMO 3 spokes on a genuine boss and original 4 spokes, remarkable weight differences between them that should not be overlooked. Now, I determined to replace them into original condition. Recent experiment has revealed that BC7 has some innate bad habit, unstable steering action while straight running caused by lack of caster value in frontal axle construction, rising up to the hill is stable, on the other hand, downing is unstable, in addition, fulfilled fuel tank brings stable condition because of tail down and more caster angle is obtained and becoming unstable in proportion to the fuel reduction. In order to gain more frontal caster angle, frontal axle main bar moving forward is one of a choice to be considered, but before that, I would like to replace steering wheels into more heavier original one to rely on the Inertia phenomena for more whee stability.

An outsider in Medical field has played a great part of the clinical datum falsification, some poor minded proper from some pharmaceutical company did it, as a matter for regret, Japanese administrative body has no way to crack down on them because no registration exists in our country? Smart but uses his capability in another way appears in any field in any generation, probably "love of money" that a person with innately causes miserable shameful act like that? Anyway, we should ostracize such a low-dimensional factor because we have already been occupied by piled up challenges.
I had an opportunity to talk with a famous actor in Japan who often appears in TV. He is single now and the reason for that is elimination of any factors in his private way of life especially when he in the condition of getting himself up his own artistic world, a small shout cuts in his way even if it might be a lovely calling "Good dishes for dinner is ready, come!". Though an ordinary person cannot his selfish way of thinking, I can do that from the bottom of my heart, because I feel exactly the same as him.

Though two model airplanes had been prepared for flying today, the cold weather with below 10 degree celsius outside prevented me from departing in triumph to model airplane flying place in Mie Pref . Too cold temperature impedes alcohol vaporization leading to some difficulty of initial explosion of the motor, so some droplet of Ethyl Ether is utilized on for the specific purpose if it was not a Diesel motor but ordinary Grow motors. And also, controlling finger does not work well in this kind of cold condition. This is why I changed my planning this morning into staying in my working room servicing and maintaining my model airplanes today.
I expose my regrettable shame here, I have broken my lovely motor that was not done so if my best care on the malfunction with much care, over thirty years old with original seal opened leading to oxidation and water absorption in alcohol component abnormal combustion producing solid sludge and that prevented main drive shaft supporting bearing's smooth action, caused vanish adhesion on piston side wall---miserable result was brought on a geriatric poor modeler who persisted in the use of rotten fuel. Anyway, aging of myself and 30 years absence in model airplane field caused this first time accident.
