I guess I'm just a danger to everyone around me then. :rolleyes:

If you'd like to buy a handheld for me I'll take it but I don't really think they're critical enough to safety to buy one myself. Now if there were a way to make sure every single plane in the air was equipped with a radio and none of those radios ever broke and the only way the airplane would...

If the towplane had released the glider, wouldn't it be descending? It looks like it's climbing in the video. Perhaps he's banking to avoid the collision?

It depends. If have no radio, I make no announcements since I've found that no matter how loud I yell, no one will hear me. ;) When I have a radio typically if I hear no one else announcing on the freq, I'll announce downwind and base for the benefit of those who might be taxiing or...

Exactly.

You know I was just thinking the other day about how my Cencal bag is almost 10 years old and still looks like new. I was thinking that I'd happily pay a premium for another based on how well it's held up over the years. Now that I know they're out of business, I'm sure my bag will self destruct...

I don't know that you're expecting too much but it's entirely possible that you're expecting to different from what reality may be. From what you've written, it's possible that you might not be up to speed on exactly how certain situations are typically handled with this particular school. The...

Where in my post did I suggest that you would not owe taxes on the money portion of the prize? Nowhere that's where. Where in my post did I suggest that you would not get a 1099 for the entire prize of the airplane plus the cash? Nowhere. Richard Hatch is in jail because he failed to report the...

Yep so if the tax on the $300k plane is $100k then the tax on $400k ($300k plane + $100k cash) would be what? About $133k? It's therefore easy to see that if the winner was awarded something like $150k or $175k in cash along with the plane valued at $300k, they'd easily be able to cover the...

Definately the Mooney as long as it's in decent shape. If it's a Johnson bar model, the only way to have a gear failure is if you manage to break your right shoulder during the flight. :D

The canoe that my wife brought with her to our marriage, hasn't moved since we bought a pair of Dagger 11ft kayaks. We average two or three paddling days a month May through October.

I should say as well that I don't know the full story and I'm making some assumptions which could be incorrect. But based on what I've read so far, it seems that not only did CAP not want help, but that they never searched or only minimally searched the area of the last known transponder hit...

What's really distrubing here is that CAP had the radar data and went out and looked for a week before giving up. Yet they apparently only searched in TX and never looked in the area of the final transponder return and no one ever thought to tell NM officals that an airplane disappeared from...

You quoted me in your post so I assumed your post was directed at me.

What does any of that have to do with me? Are you suggesting that since I run my own business instead of working for the Geek Squad, I install pirate software on my clients computers? You would be wrong in that suggestion. Are you suggesting that since I run my own business instead of working...

I love the Geek Squad and I hope they never change. Of course I own my own on-site PC repair business which technically makes me their competition. I don't really consider them competition as much I as I consider them a free marketing partner. In a nutshell, the more calls they get, the more...

A turbine powered Bo probably has a much lower chance of having an engine failure than a piston powered Bo. But a much lower chance is not zero chance. PT6s do fail in real life. I've seen more than one king air come back on one engine. So if you go with the Bo, you're basically saying you...

Do not buy or attempt to use any of the 'N' spec routers on the market today. I have yet to see one that worked as advertised and I've seen many that out of the box, wouldn't work at all. You won't go wrong with a Linksys or Netgear 802.11G router.

As has been mentioned, the only way to get rid of Vista and go back to XP is to do a wipe/clean install. Given that your PC came with Vista pre-installed, you're likely to run into problems finding drivers. In addition, you're going to need to buy XP if you don't already have a boxed retail...

If you watch the video carefully, you can see the tail dip down (nose goes up) and then immediately snap back up (nose goes back down) about 20ft or so before the flip. It also appears that the nose gear folds up and the plane still moves forward a bit before actually flipping over.
