Also just as an FYI...flight radar shows the flight yesterday landed 5 mins early. So glad they couldn't wait for us.

You're damn right I did. When he said soemthing to the affect of "ATC tells the plane when to leave and you should know that if you're such an aviation expert" I then politely informed him I'm I was a pilot and ATC had never told me when I had to leave. Then he quit arguing and printed the...

I know there is things like slots and flow control, ATC holds, ground stops...etc that can affect the 121 guys and they dont like to cause down stream problems. But if the plane aint ready to leave it aint leaving no matter what ATC says. So you loose your slot your waiting. I get that. And i do...

Also delta guys...maybe not have your customer facing service people telling folks that "ATC" decides when a plane leaves and not Delta. That was an interesting conversation until I told him yes I was a pilot and I've never had ATC tell me I had to leave.

Who makes the decision to not hold a plane when the inbounds are delayed? Is that base ops, scheduling or ???. And what would that person's name or email for SLC be? I need to send them a candy gram for the wonderful service I had today. I will have plenty of time since I can't get to my final...

Sorry...Im so late...forgot I was involved in this. You dont have to believe it, it just is. Kind of like you dont have to believe in the earth being round, gravity or the moon landings either. But they are as well. It comes down to this...we burn a fuel (100ll for most of us). This liquid...

Thermodynamics. She is a pretty mean B%^&) and hard to cheat on. Thats why large bore air cooled engines running<3000rpm wont get much more efficient than they are.

Me too. The amount of people trying to keep this guy from killing some else...and now himself...during this 'fiasco' of a build was large. Seems like he ignored all of them. I only hope when he becomes a smoking hole in the ground he doesnt hit anyone on the ground.

Nah. I think he will do a few more of these quick hops. As long as he keeps doing that it'll take a few more before he gets to far out and "lands out".

I heard he was going to something test fly something safer in the Valdosta area....:D

the 6th test flight. Any takers?

I will reiterate forane’s warning about grease and add a couple more. obviously people use these bottles all day everywhere so it’s not common....but please be aware high pressure O2 is no joke. The tank and valve/regulator need to be designed and fit for O2 service. The wrong rubber seal or...

They aren’t wrong. I would normally be on Delta several times a month with my new job. I haven’t flown since the end of February. Our corporate policy does not allow travel unless extreme emergency. Many of my customers policies don’t allow visitors. Some places have extended work from home into...

another long time fly Q user here. Did the black friday lifetime thing a few years ago. I have maybe 1 more year to go to make the investment "payoff" in savings.

Not for certain...but some EAB's (especially early ones) would use wings and maybe tail from certified planes. So this meant if you used certified wings/tail you didnt get credit for building...maybe 51% rule?

All good suggestions on the battery tender. Also good to have one of thee in your main vehicle. https://www.amazon.com/TACKLIFE-T8-Car-Jump-Starter/dp/B07BGRN4TF they work great.

As much as I know Ted...only from the forum....these seem more your alley.. https://www.buybyebluebird.com/ https://www.wanderlodgeownersgroup.com/forums/index.php They are great units with a rabid fan base for parts, info, help. Except for the RV part inside...its all standard commercial bus...

No upper yet. Ive seen some pretty significant changes in symptoms based on diet, so I know thats a factor Ill discuss with him. I was trying hold off on basic med as I would love to fly in some other countries but maybe its time. Thanks all for the help.

Hey Docs a couple questions... Last few months I've had some GI issues, generally not feeling good, indigestion, bloating after meals, bowel issues, etc. along with some discomfort in upper right side. No other major pains or anything else as a an issue. As I'm 47 they did a colonoscopy and...

You can find a minimax Vmax (full VW engine version) for well under 10k. They fly nice.
