Yes, that’s it. Thanks.

As a kid, I remember an article in Flying (or maybe Car and Driver) where they 'raced' a Porsche 911 and a Porsche-powered Mooney. Anybody else remember that?

A friend had an Austrian motorglider powered by a bored-out Porsche 914 engine. It ran 2.7 liters through a reduction drive to a four-blade pusher prop. His was Experimental, there was another nearby that was Certified. Very few in the USA. Neat plane. I rode in it a few times but didn't get...

Saw this on General Aviation News and it seems worth reposting: https://generalaviationnews.com/2020/10/01/dont-put-your-private-airport-in-jeopardy/

I interacted with one of those locally a couple of weeks ago - high-end DSLR asking about 20% of value. Sent texts and emails (from throwaway accounts). Eventually got responses to text saying "It's my sister's, send me your email so she can send details." I kept responding "I have cash and am...

I have a 3 month old Charge 4. My frustration is the incredible, unfathomable inaccuracy.I've used a quartz-accelerometer pedometer for 4-6 years, so lots of data and known distances, validated with various GPS units. Fitbit is +-5% for steps if I'm actually walking/hiking/running. But around...

I refuse to let my total ignorance affect my opinion, so I'll go for: Smallest possible vehicle you can stomach, and FWD only. The toad only serves to be your dinghy when you moor the land barge. As someone posted, you're doing little grocery runs and short trips. I'm thinking Suzuki Samurai or...

The 'public use' angle is interesting. If they could get a few hundred flying with various state agencies, it's a great way to get lots of real-world data. I wish them, Deltahawk, and all the other innovators great success. (But probably won't be an early adopter.)

A critical part of my campaign platform: All designers (engineers, UX, etc.,) must spend five years maintaining the type of products they are now creating. (I know I can count on all of you for a crippling but helpful campaign contribution.)

What y'all don't realize is that Pilawt watched the video at 2x speed with no sound and still got them all!

Years ago, I dated a woman who had a Volvo P1800 with the twin SU carbs. I had a lot of fun when she let me mess around under the hood (that's as risque as I'll get)!

I was waiting for the Sky/Diver! Well done, flyingron.

What could you wear that would stop a scorpion? Chainmail?

For my Mazda6, Crutchfield actually says “we don’t recommend replacing the head unit.” installing a powered subwoofer - four speaker wires, power, and ground - has so far stumped me and their (very helpful) tech team.

Had the pleasure of meeting FastEddieB at SunNFun a few years ago - yup, great conversation! Bummed I couldn't fly with him.

This continues to be a joy to read. Thank you for bringing us along. However - you should confess you're only doing the flight for the brownies!!

Interesting to hear this talk of accents. I was raised outside NYC, lived in New England, Atlanta, and now Colorado. I've been around and heard lots of accents. A few years ago, I rented a plane to fly out of Sugarland, TX airport, near Houston. Busy airspace, much hazier than I'm used to...

Apologies for the thread drift - why would the lack of a spinner result in increased temperatures? More disrupted airflow and less air going into the cowling? Thanks.

Like many of us, my job normally involves a lot of travel. We're discussing resuming work travel - Continental USA, two people, and mostly suburban and rural areas (except major airports). In-person visits are technically and 'politically' critical for our business success. The risks are not...

Pleasure to talk with you again, Stan! Welcome to POA.
