It was definitely a joke.

As long as there is at least one PPL or flight simulator enthusiast on every flight, I see no way this can go wrong.

You sound quite emotional about it. Do you need a safe space? Texas is the US equivalent of Saudi Arabia. "Howdy Arabia", one could say.

On landing at an airport in North Wales I noticed a small screwdriver poking out a drain hole in the bottom of the wing. Turned out the avionics shop who'd replaced the autopilot roll servo in Pennsylvania had left it in the wing - it was pretty lucky it didn't foul the ailerons.

Another one! This time I'm apparently attempting to land; which I clearly did a bad job of, as instead I took off and flew to Toronto.

That's just how we fly in Australia.

Now, now, don't sell me short - crashing all over the *world*.

Oh God, seriously? I must be stopped.

Mine does indeed have the PPonk, but the flaps still travel to their full extent in terms of what the hardware will allow and there's nothing in the logs about flap components being swapped out or the travel otherwise limited. Interesting stuff, thanks for sharing and educating me further!

R model has 30 degrees maximum flaps.
