I'm really curious if anyone has an answer to this question. "Order 8130.2 states that, while parts and components from TC aircraft can be used, so long as they are in a condition for safe operation, no credit for fabrication and assembly will be given to the amateur builder for these parts."...

Did somebody mention my name?

I would guess without a prop that it's going to be a lot harder to bleed off speed which is why he came in hot. No prop and no visibility, kudos to him for surviving.

Hadn't seen this website before. It's so much better than the sites I have been using. Thanks much!

Thanks a lot for that. Good food for thought.

My instructor always says, "Go arounds are free", and he expects me to always go around if I get crossed up in the pattern instead of trying to salvage a bad approach. I think that makes a helluva lot more sense than trying to be cool and do anything you can to keep from going around. Honestly...

I'm 55 and plan on taking checkride in the next month or so. I remember when my instructor told me that radios weren't mandatory, I thought he was effing with me. I would never have guessed they are optional. Personally I would never fly without one and I voted yes.

Well I'm ahead of the curve for once. First time I went to Japan for work I see they got these on damn near every toilet over there. I got hooked on them and bought me one for the house when I got home. Best money I ever spent and it keeps wads of TP out of the septic tank.

For the life of me I'll never understand why people want to make this harder than it is. If you flew a kite when you were a kid, you understand lift. If you stuck your hand out the car window and "flew" your hand up and down you understand lift.

What a interesting trip, I hope I'm able to do something like this some day. Thanks for sharing it.

Well he's made it into Arizona! Making good progress today.

Thanks for that! Now I can fly vicariously thru Peter while I'm sitting in Mexico for work.

Paint would be an option, an expensive option. I know there's no frame under it, just don't know if the loss of the frame weight equals the extra weight of those 3mm body panels. You're looking at somewhere in the neighborhood of 300-400 pounds for a full size pickup bare frame. Using an...

As to repairs on the truck, well you can't repair the stainless steel panels, they would be remove and replace only. This was the problem with the Delorean. If those panels get bent you can't just bend them back out close and slap a little bondo in to smooth things out, no paint to cover up...
