That is fantastic.

Praying. Keep us posted.

As for heads up display in a plane . .. if you're flying IFR in the swirling gray cacky, should you be looking out through the windshield? I thought that was a Bad Idea. Still learning... genuinely curious.

But that applies to general aviation in general, not just to engines. It's not a huge market. When you compare GA numbers to auto industry numbers, whether you're talking about tires and brakes or complete, ready-to-fly aircraft, GA is a rounding error by comparison. Sorry, but I'm with...

https://www.flightglobal.com/news/articles/collins-gps-outage-grounds-regional-flights-458819/ The FAA said it was "Collins 4000 GPS equipment" and "selected" ADS-B Out devices. Bad software update.

I figured that. I guess I should have used the word "fantasticAL." :) Y'all've been doing this a lot longer than me. I'm still getting used to all of the small companies that announce a new plane design, publish fantasticAL specs for it (including an unbelievable price) .. .. ... and then they...

Heh. Not me. I meant it in the original sense of "fantastic" -- as in, "fantasy-like."

I don't know enough to say. Is there enough air at 65000 for a prop to "bite?" I know some military planes can do it, but aren't all of them turbofans/jets?

https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/28409/the-mysterious-and-potentially-revolutionary-celera-500l-aircraft-may-fly-soon As usual, still in development, has fantastic specs (over 400knots at 65,000 feet -- prop driven) and etc. Uglier than home made sin.

Move to Alabama and you will know the true meaning of "humidity." A typical AC unit here has a steady stream of water coming out of the drain. Seriously. At times it looks like someone left a faucet running. My solution is to buy inexpensive tools, keep them inside, and when they rust, break...

What Cap'n Jack said. You can vary apparent brightness by varying pulse width, and yes, short-but-strong pulses can result in a "brighter" looking LED. Heck, I didn't know the name of the effect. I larn't somethin. :) As far as a specific source for HP's claims, I don't know of one. Cap'n...

Vision does average according to (roughly) a root mean square law. Vision is also roughly logarithmic, meaning that apparent "brightness" and actual illumination aren't the same. Same for hearing, by the way, which is definitely log. If I wasn't in the car I'd get you a hard cite. Edit...

Agreed in full. That's really all I'm trying to say. Go have a big donut on me.

Right. That's what the court records said. I should have mentioned that.

You need to give that one a rest, too. The first time you posted that, I looked at the NTSB report, I looked at the legal action brought by the Smiths (owners of the Cessna in question), and other sources. I came to a conclusion that is obviously different from yours. But then, that's how it...

You know ... this is going to be a waste of time, but I really wish you'd let that one drop. Having never met Tom, I could still tell you who he reminds me of, but see above re: waste of time. I'll just say that I've known many people in my life who'd say things that weren't technically correct...

Well done!!

Laurinburg? I used to live in Raeford! Good luck, be sure to post updates!!

Good for you!
