    Lets make Friday 'Joke Day'!

    Had to look it up. It's a rib-eye. Yum. You could name it Fred and I'd still eat it. https://halfacow.farm/half-a-cow-cuts-scotch-fillet/

    Sporty's JD-200 Replacement Battery Tray

    Do you know what happens when you mix baking soda with vinegar? It vigorously foams and creates a neutral salt solution--negating the acidity of the vinegar and the alkali of the baking soda. Use one or the other. I'd start with baking soda.

    Long XC advice: Washington <> California

    From Kelso to Redding I-5 is the logical choice given good, reliable weather. Another more interesting route could be either divert north, then east over I-90 or south then east over the Gorge. Once east of the Cascades, head south to Klamath Falls, then Weed, jog around Mt. Shasta and pick up...

    Boeing CEO is taking a pay cut

    I am not defending Mr. Ortberg. $4.2 million doesn't buy as much home in Seattle as one might think. According to real estate records here is the information on the property: (I've purposely not doxxed the guy and his family). Year Built 1928 Total Square Footage 3780 Number Of Bedrooms...

    Foam rubber blocks

    Electronic equipment, audio and video, is often shipped in closed-cell foam--this is the firm stuff. They get a lot of it. In the past I've gotten it for free.

    Anyone available to review logbooks?

    It's your first plane purchase. Listen to the folks who have done it many times. The logbook review is part of whose pre buy? "Their" refers to whom? What do you mean by "send it off to inspection?" First, what is "it" in that context, the logs or the plane? Who/what is "inspection?"

    How much ethanol is too much

    How is that possible when modern home gas furnaces burn at 97% efficiency? Energy can not magically be created. Even if the electricity running the heat pump is produced by the best combined-cycle gas turbine power plants, such turbines only achieve about 65% efficiency. Solar and wind, which...

    "Target for Today"

    I seriously doubt/speculate more than a handful of WWII combat pilots (bombers and fighters) ended the war with 600 or 700 hours. Maybe some cargo/transport pilots. In the case of a bomber pilot and you flew 25 missions at 10 hours each that's only 250 hours. I'd think it would be a rare combat...

    Forward Slips with Flaps on a Practical Test

    I've always forward slipped my Warrior with full flaps. My Warrior's POH only mentions slips once: Is blanketing the horizontal stabilizer with turbulent air, causing an uncontrolled nose drop not an issue in Cherokees? The only admonition about forward slips in my POH is this: What fuel...

    "Target for Today"

    As research for my first novel, I took a ride in the B-24 Witchcraft. We had free rein of the entire ship except the flight deck. Below is a photo of the lower tunnel leading to the bombardier's station 3393RP described. The nose gear is down. And later with the nose gear up. On the left is...
