I have been hot more often than I’ve been cold at KOSH. That is a 4-season tent - it is not going to breathe well on a hot, humid WI July night. Tim

Perfect - we have data in this space to understand the implications for UHMWPE. We have a head start. We can learn what the distribution is of type of plastic being found (doubtful much/any is UHMWPE), learn about what different plastics behave in an analogous manner in the human body, and...

Sure. What type of polymer? What size of particle? What shape of micro particle? Is that question even relevant? We've identified that something foreign to the human body could now found in nearly everyone, everywhere. We don't know if it means nothing to the population, something to a...

With our limited understanding of how the human body responds to synthetic inputs, gathering data on the severity of the risk doesn't seem like a bad thing, to me.

I can understand that. I can also understand the desire to return the pilot to VFR conditions ASAP. I’m your scenario, what is the end game? How do you return a VFR pilot to safety? Im not trying to be argumentative, I’m trying to understand why one practice is going to have a better rate of...

I’ve read through the thread and I don’t see it - what are you promoting that should be taught? Tim

I'm probably searching the DB wrong, but I don't find anything on the subsonex. I know of the one fatal last year, but are there others that I'm missing? I thought the subsonex had a pretty good record. Tim

Okay, I think I understand the disconnect now. What Martin believes is correct, and is demonstrated by the graph. Start in the top left, at peak EGT. LOP and ROP refer to EGT. If he is operating in the best economy range, to the left of peak EGT, and richens the mixture, moving to the right...

I'm not sure if I'm reading it wrong, or you are reading it wrong - But your chart shows that max CHT's are just prior to peak as you lean. CHT is already dropping (on your chart) before you get to peak. Tim

I don’t understand why it couldn’t be used for Young Eagles Flights? Article mentioned it’s a 2-seater. Tim

If it is the same model as I bought from Tinas pilot shop years ago, it was just an unbranded Lightspeed QFR with ANR. You can get replacement ear seals from from Lightspeed, Amazon, Spruce, etc. Tim

In regards to the CDC, the intent is important. They gave the best guidance with the data that is/was available at the time. With more data, the messaging and guidance can change. You built a Sonex. I built a Sonex. I certainly had to go through the list of plans revisions and incorporate...

Did you actually read and understand the articles you linked to below? Tim

That is surprising. The LG panels I’m most familiar with are guaranteed to be outputting 91% of their rated output after 25 Years. For setups I’ve seen, the payback for panels with decent exposure in MN is between 8-12 years right now. Either your state is doing what it can to...

After 20+ years of riding only liter-class bikes in the ZX and CBR series (except for a brief stint with a YZF750 that was great), I slowed down and sold them all a couple years ago. A thread on this site about bike photos got the juices flowing again last year, and made me look for something...

That seems like a debatable statement, but others are discussing that with you. What I don't understand is the issue with pushing the prop lever up earlier? I've seen several comments about it being a problem, or the mark of a newbie. When I'm on downwind between midfield and abeam the...

This has been interesting. I’ve changed my own opinion after reading and considering the reg. For anyone who still considers that they hold the ROW as the landing aircraft, after they have completed a 180 and are back taxiing past an available, safe exit opportunity with an aircraft on final -...

I'm out. Bad springtime cold combined with allergies and my head is clogged solid. IM(not)SAFE.

I will try to join. Plane reserved for the 11th. Any food near 4r5? I’ve been there a couple times, but can’t recall if the walk to town is onerous.

Ooh. It's been a couple years since I've been to Friday lunch in Iola. I'd be game to meet up for that given a couple weeks notice so I could take the day off. Tim
