    Raptor Aircraft

    If you wouldn't have been in this forum for so long, I would think you're just trolling me. Maybe you still are, who knows. I never accused them of fraud, but stated that, particularly if the business is going slow, a few paid trips to check out the Raptor might be a welcome opportunity to pay...

    Raptor Aircraft

    You are burning way too many calories on this. I have absolutely no stake in this game, maybe you do considering how wound up you are apparently getting. :rolleyes: All I'm saying is that The lack of performance was obvious from the GoPro footage alone, AFAIK the G3X also records data. The guy...

    Raptor Aircraft

    Yes, but that's the thing: They themselves clearly state in the video above that they only raised general concerns about the airport's location during their past visits and only checked out the terrain and made the final call after their third and last visit. Since then, Peter has actually moved...

    Raptor Aircraft

    I guess you're referring to what I posted earlier and I have to admit that my impression of them has changed for the better. It indeed appears as whether they are actually trying to eventually fly the thing. Still, the evaluation of the airport should have happened much earlier. They themselves...

    Sounds like you should start some kind of aviation consulting business. ;)

    Raptor Aircraft

    Not sure why you're defending these guys - the acceleration was already obviously sluggish in the videos Peter posted. Do you seriously believe that they honestly thought that if one of them pushed the throttle forward instead of him, the thing would somehow magically accelerate much faster...

    Raptor Aircraft

    I'm neither saying that I would fly the thing nor that the test pilots should. I actually stated earlier in this thread, that using the Audi engine was in my opinion a really dumb idea. However, from what I read here and based on what Peter said in his latest video, all they now want is a...

    Raptor Aircraft

    My crystal ball is telling me that he will move the thing elsewhere only for them to come up with another reason why they can’t fly it, the next time they stop by. Business is probably going slow, so why not travel the country and taxi a bit while getting paid? :rolleyes: They had ample...

    Raptor Aircraft

    I can see how this could be a possibility, but then again they've already been playing this game for a while now. There have already been several items of which I thought were so obvious that they could have told him even before their first visit that they want them fixed. I think that putting...

    Kobe Bryant dead in helicopter crash

    I doubt Mrs. Bryant needs the maybe few $100k that she could possible squeeze out of the pilot's widow, who is probably just as heartbroken as she is. I hope she'll take the high road and leaves her alone instead of seeking revenge for her husband's death.

    Funny conversation with my wife

    We have two of them, by far the quietest compressors I ever had.

    New purchase suggestions!

    Not necessarily. A buddy bought late last year a pretty nice, well cared for C for $34k, the engine has under 1,000 hrs. on it. Basic IFR but no GPS. I think it was listed for $39k. I thought this was a bargain, and potential buyers apparently lined up for it. Around $40k however appears...

    Oshkosh 2020

    Granted, I am no lawyer. I understand however, that if employers would send their associates to a mass event against the clear recommendations of the CDC, this would constitute gross negligence of OSHA rules. In this case, the employer would face fines from the OSHA and also open up the...

    Oshkosh 2020

    They might be in contact with the bigger exhibitors like Garmin, Cirrus, Piper and the like. I however personally know a smaller vendor who wants to pull out as they don't want to take the chances of being exposed to so many people and the associated risks for them and their employees. Having...

    Oshkosh 2020

    Not at all. Imagine the following: You're a healthy dude working for a company exhibiting at AirVenture. Even though all the shelter in place orders have been lifted, the CDC however still recommends social distancing and to avoid mass events. The population is also far from reaching herd...

    Oshkosh 2020

    Some mom & pop vendors might take the chances but I don't see any of the bigger companies accepting the risk of being sued by their associates if some of them contract COVID-19 at the show. Also, exhibiting at the show is pretty expensive, particularly if the costs for logistics and exhibits are...

    Ohio Governor drops MOAB on his state economy

    Exactly, you can't tell at this point where it will stop. Considering the measures they are introducing, it is also to be expected that the curve will soon flatten. It will still not tell you where it will stop. Sorry, you're on the wrong track here. This is not how to read a logarithmic...
