It is always fun to see amateurs talk about engineering!

You made the right call. The issue was probably the recent maintenance, but you did not know that for sure.

And sailplanes (glider is a terrible name) are an excellent way to start giving a better understanding of how airplanes actually fly with adverse yaw, the importance of angle of attack, and no distractions with electronic gadgets.

Higher means it will be harder to see them. There is a reason we have one pattern altitude.

Simple answer is yes. Also if nothing further is done after that, the local FSDO would be interested to hear about it. It can be really hard when your employer is not following safety rules, but the only right thing to do is to keep pressing until it is fixed.

Uber is great. Drivers from all over descend on OSH to make money during the week. The only thing to be aware of is that there are specific Uber/Lyft pickup/drop-off locations on the site. They are on the EAA maps.

I ran into a similar concern when finishing the build of my airplane. The airplane needs to be ready to fly to get the airworthiness cert (at least per the DAR I used), so I needed to taxi test, and definitely break in the brakes (med speed taxi with moderate braking). As said above, if there...

That is an important point. You do not have control of the aircraft . . . don't waste brain cells making a radio call. Instead, focus on the problem, aka aviate first.

This happened to a club airplane (that I'm thankfully no longer involved with) with a "highly experienced" CFII and instrument student flying. We finally got the club to make "filling to the tabs" standard so we didn't have to burn off fuel to really use the damn plane. They decided preflight...

I suspect this is to solve the problem of sending people who did nothing wrong all the way back to Endeavor when they have to turn them out at Fisk.

The wing doesn't care what caused the AOA to increase (gust or elevator deflection). Either way it can't produce more lift, and therefore, cannot overload the spar. And yes, when you get to swept wings and jets things can change, but we are talking about light aircraft.

It was based there.

Keen flight is here. It's really nice out!

I will be there too.

I might be in for H96 Sat.

If you want to go higher end, Nations Photo Lab is where I go for really high quality prints for a reasonable price. Your 10yr probably won't care, but if it is for you to also enjoy an amazing print . . .

That is interesting. I had to go look. Dupo is too close (in the current class D), so that is why it isn't used anymore! The Billiken students tend to make nice brief calls like they should. The other flight schools at KCPS . . . not so much though still not too bad. The practice area is still...

The fumes are what is highly flammable. Also, why @Racerx suggests a couple of days of air drying to get to a non-flammable environment in the tank before scoping it.

Not much there. There is a small FBO building with bathrooms and cheap self-serve fuel. I haven't heard of any event planning there. I'm planning KPCD because they did a nice job for the last one.
