I'll chime in on yep, it's ducting and it's cool. It's dependent on frequency, not type of modulation. VHF hi band is just about the same as 2M ham band and aircraft band, all maybe 120-150 MHz more or less. Normally it's line of sight, short range, but once in a while we'll get repeaters...

I'm just jumping in to say to the OP that I think you're being too hard on yourself. 3 lessons and you don't have a feel for wheel landings yet? I learned tailwheel first, in a cub, and it was more than 30 for me before wheel landings made any sense. Three point much simpler for me.

One of these drove by my house today. That's more unusual considering that I live on a dead end street with only maybe 20 houses and a small business on it. Anyway, it was a weird experience. Much more surprising than I would have expected it to be. My immediate reaction was something like...

I can understand nearly walking out! I kinda think that anyone that doesn't like Grateful Dead vocals doesn't have any understanding of harmony. They may not have the smoothness of some other groups, but they could slide through weird key changes really well. I was lucky enough to see them...

See page 3: https://www.faa.gov/sites/faa.gov/files/2022-01/NovDec2008.pdf I found this when studying for my first checkride. Then I realized the guy who wrote the article was the guy that was going to be giving me the checkride! Complete coincidence, but pretty cool anyway. Smart guy, but...

Tangent question - why is/was the Army using Mi-17's?

Boston

Looks good... I would not have done as well at all. And I would have lost at least 2 of the bolts.

This will seem weird, but this: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/271348-REG/Impact_401004_Floodlight_Reflector_with_Socket.html On a cheap light stand, with the biggest LED or spiral CF light you can put in it. Trouble lights have always been miserable, the little battery lights are...

First post would be - have you considered offshore powerboat racing for a couple of years?

Maybe a stupid suggestion, but can you tilt the seat back a bit, without screwing up the geometry too much, to get enough clearance?

Cool to see some knives listed that I've owned. I used to carry an LST, the "full size" version, all the time. I think it was about 3.5" or so. And if I were doing some kind of tech/volunteer work I'd add the swiss army tinker. Leatherman was too heavy, I found it a PITA. Like others, I...

How about a stand alone INS that can feed NEMA data to a tablet as if it's a GPS. Sensors would be fluxgate compass and you'd need airspeed, maybe solid state gyros for roll/yaw and acceleration. It would get starting position, winds, starting course from GPS ideally, and then you'd need a...

For most consumer implementations, I agree completely. Because it's being implemented for lowest possible cost for the provider, and because it's almost always done solely to meet compliance requirements. A decent way to do it that doesn't require phone numbers or personal data is a...

I got where you were coming from. That was my lack of clarity in playful sarcasm. I'm an old IT guy... I remember when the :) was introduced, specifically as an indication of humor and usually sarcasm.

Isn't there an airport out west where they display the current density altitude on a sign along the taxiway, like the price of gasoline at a station? Or maybe that was a myth. Here I just think of temperature instead of DA. That's probably not a great plan, but the altitude is all about the...

Funniest quote I've read this week! Yeah, talking about the quality of food you can get in an airport is about like talking about how pretty the girls are that prowl at a truck stop. Not that there's anything wrong with that. But in either case they probably aren't indicative of the rest of...

Not to nit pick, but information security is about managing risk, not protecting against it. In an office, which is often a shared or open environment, writing down passwords is discouraged for a number of reasons. Part of that is security, part of that is compliance which is part of security...
