LOTS of good advice here. Emphasis:
1. Airplanes DO NOT bounce. I’ve seen lots of old film footage of them dropping airplanes to test the gear. Hardly bounce at all.
They GO FLYING AGAIN. Plain and simple. A bounce occurs below flying speed, or any significant contribution of lift...
Me three. Was a good watch!! Saw most of the pilots there after the showing at the iMax in Pensacola, nice little bonus.
Didn’t know anything about it, an army bud of mine figured it all out and said we should go. Glad he did!
I understand it’ll cost more, but I REALLY REALLY like the Dynon setup. If I were going HARD IFR capable I’d probably want all Garmin. But for what you’re doing I’d actually prefer the Dynon setup.
The integrated functionality of the radios, autopilot, transponder and ADSB stuff (think...
Stinson L-5 ambulance…
Believe it or not the Vashon Ranger seats fold flat forward supposedly so you can sleep in it comfortably. I haven’t done it yet, but it might happen this year at Oshkosh if I don’t finish the Starduster in time.
Uh… actually that’s exactly what you do… I know tons of folks who signed waivers to go to rehab (rehab joint required it) acknowledging that they were receiving treatment that wasn’t medically necessary.
FAA seems to think that mitigates something..
Look at it this way, you are satiating an...
What…. What’s all this “thanks”, “it’s alright…” stuff? What about us? Don’t we have rights?
Ok fine… We wish you the very best! Us and our grumbling empty spoiled stomachs will be happy to welcome you back into the fold.
No wait. I only got to go once… mods! Can’t you do something to...
Furthermore, so what if the military gives you something, and maybe uses a not so standard standard to justify it?
The faa explicitly uses non standard standards to crucify individuals. The military is at least trying to help THOSE WHO SERVED.
They need to stay in their own lane. Determine...
Used to be common to foam a runway for anything that might cause sparks on landing.
They eventually realized the foam was a bigger hazard and problem that the perceived risk of allowing sparks, or maybe it wasn’t even really preventing those.
In any case, one day they just stopped. Still...
Not super challenging but useful… in a year I’ve collected SIX working radios that’ll never see the inside of a plane again.
I’ve sourced power supplies, audio amps and old microphones… gonna make base stations out of them housed in nice hand dovetailed wooden boxes. I’ll build the antennas...
