To expedite my climb I’d have to kick my wife out. Not sure how that would go over.

I did it one year. The turkey was excellent, but it didn’t taste like thanksgiving. Now we just keep it traditional and roast it in the oven.

This is one of my favorite sets you’ve posted. The 3rd and 6th photo in the first post are phenomenal. You keep getting better and better

As a fixed wing pilot with several hours in several different helicopters, I feel fairly confident that the answer is a smoldering hole. That said I’d wager that dental records could probably help to identify your body.

Minimax? Hummelbird? Zenith? Sonex?

Leading edge slots can change them slope by a fair amount according to the charts in Abbott and Von Doenhoff Theory of Wing sections. Aspect ratio can also impact it.

I prefer the simplification when in the linear part of the lift curve of L=1/2 * rho * V^2 * Cl_alpha * alpha It makes the relationship to angle of attack clearer. As with others here, so did I. I never got an intuitive understanding of the why and after many years of frustration I came to...

I recently had a courtesy car that had all the fancy lane assist functions, auto braking, and auto distance functions. It was fine on the straight sections of highway, but it kicked off on all the curvy sections (84 from Waterbury to Hartford at rush hour) after oscillating from one side of the...

Personally, if we want to start taking advantage of self-driving capabilities I think we should replace HOV lanes with self-driving lanes on highways/interstates. They can be separated from the normal flow of traffic. You don't have to worry very much about pedestrians. There are no stop signs...

Personally, I still think liability is the hardest hurdle to handle. Who is responsible when the car crashes? The driver (who can't do anything) or the company that produced the car? I don't see any companies willingly taking on that kind of risk and it doesn't make sense for the driver to be...

Sorry to hear about your loss. As unsatisfactory as this answer may be, it’s really best to wait for the official NTSB report.

Let’s say the average submission takes 2.5 minutes to write and post. Thats 37,500 minutes or 625 hours or 26 days of your life spent writing posts. I’m not sure how to turn that into time spent reading the forums, nor do I think anyone would appreciate such a calculation.

the Just Superstol has a relatively low aspect ratio (6.8) and has leading edge slots. Both should decrease the lift curve slope and make it less prone to turbulence than other aircraft with a similar wing loading.

wing loading and the lift curve slope. It’s possible to decrease the impact of turbulence by decreasing the lift curve slope. Wing aspect ratio and fixed slots are two features that can influence the lift curve slope. L=.5*rho*V^2*Cl_alpha*alpha F=ma where: cl_alpha is the lift curve slope...

you should really be looking at a Bonanza

I had to do some Googling after that statement. Some of the statements I found online about the SR-71's camera capability: The TEOC camera could shoot pictures with a 6'' resolution from the operational altitude of the SR-71. The resolution of the TEOC camera was good enough to identify a human...

Yes, if you go into a section of the forum on the top right there's an "ignore forum" button you can click. That gives you options of how completely you want to ignore it.

Glad to see the new section. The number of videos posted with no text in the post (or at least nothing substantial) has gotten annoying. Seems like a lot of clickbait to try to get Youtube views lately. Previously there was no way to tell. Now I can just ignore that section. Sure I could do...
