Wikipedia says he was born in France.

> . . . sacrifice you like a voodoo chicken . . ." That's a keeper. I'm stealing that one.

A nice corporate-looking turbine twin. Fortunate the person who has the need and finances for something so capable. For a personal run-around get-into-and-out-of-anywhere plane way over gross if necessary, you had my favorite.

> "Yeah, I have to go with EdFred on this one. Here's the thing. Who developed aviation? Who set the standards? Who produced the technology?" France? Just a guess since most of our aviation terms are French.

Thanks folks. I'll see if Airnav has the chart notes.

Please take a look at the attached picture and someone explain please the 40 over 21 in that white hashed section. Just what IS that white hashed section? Surely something to do with the approaches into Luke but can someone decipher this airspace for me? Thanks. I'm getting ready to fly over...

Pushrod tubes. It's always pushrod tubes. Even though it looks like it might be something else, it's pushrod tubes.

Ha. How wrong you are. I not only have flown one but actually own two of them. A Phoenix 6D and a Falcon 4. I'm not current since my enthusiasm for them has waned, along with my wish to own a Lear 23 and be friends with Tuesday Weld. I never came close to getting as serious about it as...

Just watched the Genius episode. Some of the footage is valuable to watch. The dramatization and extremely abbreviated telling of events is so very TVish. I'm reminded by it though that the Wright's place in history is akin to that of Columbus' in discovering America. Right here in San Diego...

Never heard of Whitehead until now. Interesting stuff. His designs were sure a lot more attractive than the Wright's.

I think refusing a pilot license is clearly grounds for a retroactive 509 ride. ************************ Apr 6, 1927: William P. MacCracken, Jr., Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Aeronautics, received Pilot License No. 1, a private pilot license, from the Aeronautics Branch. MacCracken...

Just looked up Velcro shoes. Cool.

> "Tom Peghiny just posted his side of the story over on CTFlier.com" That name rings a bell. I've got no interest in these Tupperware planes but Tom Peghiny holds some world class hang gliding records if I'm not mistaken. Dan Johnson also comes out of the hang gliding world from way back -...

To elaborate on this ECO situation, TruTrak is sending these out the door only for designs they've put together a "kit" for. As of my last communication with Lucas at TT, two or three weeks ago, only two planes have been worked with at this point, the RV-4 and RV-10. And even though these were...

> ". . . suicide isn't the answer.. Not sure what the question is . . ." I recall reading Camus' The Stranger the author stating that suicide is actually the only question.

Thanks guys. My choices are limited to either a floor-mounted flexible stalk with a platform upon which to velcro the tablet, or a kneepad. My small cockpit has a stick and for "windows" I have a canopy. Using a suction mount on the canopy could possibly work but I've had suction mounts come...

I'm going to be using a tablet in my small cockpit shortly and have two options. A floor mounted flexible stalk with a platform at the top upon which I can Velcro© the iPad Mini-sized tablet, or I can use a kneeboard. Can anyone recommend a tablet kneeboard they've found to be particularly...

> "for whatever my two cents is worth, this was a totally ridiculous change." Sorry for the careless use of the word "ridiculous." A bit too harsh a word for what I meant to express.

> "It's one of those programs that just does what it's supposed to with no drama. I like that sort of software." Me too. Casper was like that but I think I had stumbled across Minitool by the time Casper wanted some money for something so tried out the free version of Minitool. Absolutely has...

Here's an informed overview by a Flight Cheetah user, posted on the American Bonanza Society website. In the post he references the "210" model hardware. I don't know if that's still available but the Flight Cheetah software currently runs fine on small Windows 8.1 and Win 10 tablets - decent...
