Using Heron's formula

The shape of the triangle is determined by the lengths of the sides alone. Therefore the area S also can be derived from the lengths of the sides. By Heron's formula:

WTF ???? trixie has formula's :shock: :shock: :shock:

Ja, the shaky-shaky pipe is all very well. Just got tired of the perpetual memory in the pipe, the slowness of the siphon, filters falling off, unable to get the last litre out of the jerry can, etc. etc. :evil: :evil:

To pour 25 litres per minute is very lekker. !!!!

Even planes with top wing fuel tanks (BB, Foxbat etc.) should be easy with Mr. Funnel if you make the right shaped support bracket with suitable padding. :idea:

Thanks again guys for the "laffs".

He is working on it this coming week-end, I believe its going onto a special roof rack that fits snugly around the kingpost and get strapped down with easy to use one-man-operated self fastening bungies.
:shock:

My personal feel is it might be much easier just to wear it over your flight suit. And for the funnel (a bit big for the pannier bags) use it as a helmet or you can sit on it. (You can decide which side up) :idea:

Oh Please, please John can we have photos of the above configuration

PS: GT450 has a large storage compartment behind the fuel tank - Mr. Funnel fits in easily and when necessary, a Buddy can hold it for me. !!!!

PPS: Then there is always the option to travel with my shaky-shaky. :roll:
