Do you strap pain inducers on your knuckles?

Yeah, they made a documentary about it. It's called Reefer Madness. It's truly horrifying.

Yes our stupidity in the past with regards to marijuana has been pretty phenomenal. Sadly, federally we still persist.

I guess my definition of "light twin" is too narrow. I thought we were talking about twins with small bore engines, like the Seminole, or Duchess, or Comanche. Your Aztec has big bore engines, no?

It all depends on where you are flying. At sea level, yes the light twin on one engine has the advantage over the single with none. A great airplane for Florida, or cruising the Caribbean. In Colorado, I'll take the the single with no engine because when you finally grind into the earth, the...

We live in hateful times and haters have hate.

Nope. Couldn't do it. I took your warning and so- I know nutzink!!

Really? You think you are better than others so much so that you can laugh at people in that movie and the AOPA folks, yet you typed this sentence?? Some people don't know math very well and others don't know english very well. :rolleyes:

No, stupid makes you stupid.

Yes they will. America is being dragged into the 21st century whether it wants to or not and change is hard. 40 years from now people will look back and scratch their heads and chuckle about our ridiculous attitude towards marijuana.

These are planes that likely are flown every day, or nearly every day. Now imagine a plane that isn't, but just tied to a mooring for a week or two at a time. Unattended in an open harbor. There is an organization that has run seaplane tours of the San Francisco Bay Area for decades. They use...

"Lots of time" as in normally based at a mooring in the ocean in place of a tie down?

Wow. I couldn't imagine the maintenance nightmares there. Ask people that maintain airplanes that are just parked outside by the ocean on land. That's bad enough, but soaking in it?! What about all the crap that grows on the bottom in the water? I could be wrong, but I don't think anybody moors...

Have you asked the yacht club if seaplanes are even allowed in the marina yet?

Move to Oakland, or Alameda, buy a regular plane, base it at KOAK and forget the seaplane nonsense. Hate to be a dream squasher, but this is the most practical, affordable and likely outcome.

It absolutely is in comparison to their day job. They should also be anti-ground transportation too then. In the US, their professional mode of transport is the safest of all except elevators. Walking is less safe than flying in a US airliner. Having said that, ground transportation is a...

It's not BS. If you ever get to a Mooney fly-in, you can see all the years side by side. Same wing and same landing gear. With the exception of only the '66 and '67 F where they tried out the "twisted wing" design where about one third of the outboard wing is slightly different for about one...

This is kind of true. The first M20s, the M20 and M20A had wood wings and wood vertical and horizontal stabilizers. Back in the '50s, some of these aircraft had the wood tail section depart the plane, so yeah, break up in flight. Mooney quickly gained a bad reputation and so they very quickly...

You might second it, but you would be wrong. A tremendous amount of parts on the short bodies as well as mid bodied M20s are interchangeable with the planes coming off the line today. That's how they can still offer parts. The airframe has been tweaked over the years, but it's mostly still...

That might be Beech, but Mooney does manufacture new parts for their 50 + year old planes still today.
