I got this from an f35 pilot I know- There’s an auto-eject feature in that variant but it didn’t look like that was engaged. It’s based on pitch rate in case of a lift fan or main engine thrust failure while hovering. It looks like he lost thrust control. It should’ve cut to idle in his first...

Wasn’t last years air boss the father of this years air boss? Two different people right? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

CVTs are awesome in snow mobiles, ATVs and UTVs. They are terrible in cars. They give zero feedback and if you’re carving up a windy road are about the worst transmission you could have. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

20 feet per second is 1200 feet per minute. Seems I could make a go around work at that climb rate [emoji851] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Castle is a great place to visit. Their museum has a ton of amazing aircraft. They also have open cockpit days twice a year where u can get in the seat of a blackbird and many other planes. Come check it out sometime! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

It is a 9A. And yep. Never heard of the issue. Nor has anyone ever complained about it while riding in my plane. I’ve had short people all the way to my dad who is 6’5. My interior covers up those gear towers. You can’t even see them. No plane is perfect. I never stated that it was though...

I own a 9 and don’t know about this gear tower issue. I have 600 hours on my bird and it’s great for cross county trips. I’ve flown it 8 hours in one day with good comfort. The 9 does have extremely light wing loading but I’ve never found it uncontrollable at all. It flies like any RV. Very...

I know this airport very well. There is a gigantic clay pit that ohv vehicles uses to wheel as well as a shooting range just off to the right side. A gentle bank in glide would have them in good shape. Also in a situation where your engine might decide to crap the bed at any moment you would...

In high density altitude I always fly on IAS. Nothing else matters. Vy and my plane is 74. It’s gonna be Vy whether I’m at sea level or 10000 feet. The only thing that matters is the what the plane is feeling. Not TAS. When you start thinking TAS is when you start reducing your safety margins...

Double post

There’s a whole slew of info on this one coming out. Apparently a few days before the crash the plane had an engine out on climb out where the pilot landed it back on the runway. The left seat pilot was a 1/4th owner of the plane and was trying to trouble shoot it. No joke he asked someone to...

I saw the video of it. He was in a Cessna 140 on final behind the slower zenith. He was getting too close and proceeded to do what looked to me like some S turns to create space. Thats when the plane stalled and spun in. RIP to the pilot. There was a recent flyingmag article about him. He left...

The sad part is the poor lady riding with him had no idea what kind of pilot she is strapping into the right seat with. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro

In n out is amazing. Granted I’m a little biased. Been working there for 26 years! I eat one just about every day I work. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro
