    Please! Make it stop! (Stock market crash)

    The algorithms are chasing millennial day traders. Seriously, it seems everyone believes in MMT and an omnipotent Fed. The stock market is seriously overvalued;1999 all over again.

    Please! Make it stop! (Stock market crash)

    Anyone else think Ray Dalio (principles.com) is worth listening to? I’m not happy with having nothing but US dollars in my portfolio while the Fed is experimenting with it.

    24" Avgas fuel sender

    I did..., no help Edit: They did respond by email. Balls in my court to find a drawing of the tank, and measure the actual depth of the tank.

    24" Avgas fuel sender

    Thanks, I feel dumb not looking on Amazon. There are several that I think would work. I don't trust gauges anyway, just trying to add a little redundancy.

    24" Avgas fuel sender

    My 1929 Waco has an unbaffled 60 gallon fuselage tank. It is 24" deep. The restorer doesn't remember where he got the sender, and it's broken. Nothing on it to help find another. I am perfectly willing to try something else, even if it means changing the fuel gauge. I've wondered if any of the...

    Base to final turn, overshoot final, now what?

    Base to final turn, overshoot final, now what?

    Just got down from a flight for fun. At one point I was at about 80* of bank and near level flight stall speed. I turned about 60* in a power-off 180 approach and then went around from the flare (had called low approach only cause I was running late and still had to get home). When I came home...

    Base to final turn, overshoot final, now what?

    Let's remember that correlation is not causation. I believe that not accepting that is one reason we can't seem to make big changes in the accident rates. Accidents happen during steep turns in the pattern, must be steep turns. Couldn't be training, proficiency, currency, ...

    Base to final turn, overshoot final, now what?

    Pardon me if I chuckle. Fly straight in, stabilized at 1.3Vs in a round engine taildragger and you can't see the runway, particularly from the pilot seat (rear) in most biplanes. Either slip all the way, do a curving final or fly at an angle to the runway and turn on short final. Depending on...
