This is where I have a real problem with the criminal justice system. The police finding drugs in your car, especially when there are other people in the car or have access to the car, does not equate to possession. To prove constructive possession they must prove; 1- that you were aware that...

It's not funny, it is a reality at times for a cop and it is difficult. They won't always get it right, but it is a complete cop out to say over and over if the person would have just done everything he was supposed to do, nothing would have happened. People the police have to deal with...

The job of a police officer is not to be great dealing with people who are doing everything right. Their job is to deal with people who are breaking the law, who may be under the influence and not acting predictably, who may be belligerent, confrontational, and non-compliant, and in general just...

I got my instrument rating through a 10 day course. The first few days were fun, getting used to flying under the hood and learning the ins and outs of flying an approach, doing holds etc. Days 3-5 I started to feel pretty confident. Since I still needed cross country hours, we were doing cross...

I understand. I am talking about when you haven't been drinking or doing drugs and get charged with DUI. The tests will definitely exonerate you, but you are already hosed because you've been charged with DUI, your mug shot already made the jail report, your friends, family, business associates...

Unfortunately that is the state of our justice system, especially when you are talking about DUI offenses and relatively minor misdemeanor charges. There very clearly is a presumption of guilt. With DUI charges, at least there can be negative blood, urine, and blow tests that can exonerate you...

I am based at Khqu. Its a nice little airport, 30 minutes from the course. It doesn't get quite as crowded as KDNL or KAGS. The security area is the Savannah River Site, a Dept of Energy complex for processing and storing nuclear material.

I had my second shot last week. I expected the worst after what I have heard, but really only had a little soreness in my arm. A tylenol (after the injection) and hand splitting 2 cords of oak took care of that.

I didn't realize that. Too bad because it really does fill a niche as a simple, affordable 4 place aircraft. It kind of makes sense though. For whatever reason they never really caught on. Also, it shares most of its parts with the Allarus (CH2000) which went out of production in 2011. Hopefully...

That is a good plan. During my training, my first time in actual was a 4 hour cross country flight, 3 hours of it in IMC. We did 2 approaches along the way. The pace was more like an actual flight than a training flight, so there was plenty of time to just get comfortable with the basics in the...

A 2 place garage should be plenty of room to do all but the final assembly. When it was time to fit the wings to the fuselage I just rolled it out into the driveway for the day. As others have said, it will go much quicker if the project is at home. A lot of my building was done in small 1 hour...

If you believe in homeopathy you might as well just go have a drink from your faucet and tell yourself it will cure whatever you have. Think about that glass of water that comes out of your faucet. It has been circulating on this planet for millions of years. It has been part of the ocean...

I believe there is a disconnect between how our society treats arrests, how police officers view an arrest, and how our justice system deals with misdemeanor crime. Police will say "you will have your day in court" so will arrest many times with marginal justification. Once arrested, courts view...

I do not think a prop strike should be ignored and unreported, but I have a question for mechanics out there who may have experience doing teardowns. How often do you find something damaged when doing a teardown?

I prefer using Maverick as my callsign. "Maverick, 2 miles SE inbound for overhead break to RW 27. Traffic in the area please get out of my way"

That's one way to get the oil residue off the belly.

Go to the Carbone Social Club, ask for Guido.

Roger that. Thanks.

Saw this in the hangar and was wondering if anyone knows what type of plane this is.

There was really nothing in the build process for my plane that was beyond most peoples comfort level. All solid rivets of critical structures like the spars etc were done at the factory. No jigs or anything like that needed. So the skills required were drilling holes, using a sharpie marker...
