Plus airspeed. An airplane taxiing with its nose up isn't going to fly at 15 MPH.

I keep saying something similar. Look up the wiring diagram, understand it, and pinpoint the most likely problems that fit the symptoms...

Non-precision IFR approaches using the ADF and a watch.

Changing mechanical "points" and adjusting the valves on my VW every time I changed the oil. Ancient and not very efficient technology...

In the 1970s I got lots of time at a Telex teletype. Ours was the economy model, with no tape puncher/reader. The only reason for these...

On some trikes that forward drain will be at the lowest point, especially if the nose oleo isn't properly inflated.
