LOL!

So do you have anything based on logic or argument to back up your statement that it is "as good as place as any", besides taking the opportunity to insult me? You know, one of the symptoms of someone who knows they have no intellectual response is they resort to cheap insults like that. A...

Just pay the ticket. Someone was speeding in a car owned by you. Pay the damn ticket and if you know who was driving, ask them to reimburse you. If you don't want to ask them to reimburse you, then just suck it up, pay the ticket and stop complaining.

Why? Because this is an aviation forum and the vast majority of those giving their "expert" opinion (including you) are not really qualified. OP is free to do whatever he wants. I still maintain my opinion that I am concerned for him and his kids if this is his goto place for advice of this nature.

OP: If your goto place for advice on issues like this is Pilots of America, then I am seriously scared for you and your kids...

Horrible advice for a beginner who hasn't soloed yet! OP, ask your CFI and work with them. The advice you will get here is worth what you paid for it.

She said the tail was striking the ground. That is pretty damning. Well, we will see once they analyze the W&B I suspect we will find out it was way aft of the allowed range and probably over gross too.

:D

I think the mods are doing a fine job. I occasionally checked out the Spin Zone but it was mostly attacks and regurgitating of alternative facts by all factions, and then when I tried to remove myself from it I also noticed that the worst offenders just brought it over here into Hangar Talk. I...

What is the 25SM rule?

The rest of us don't like being spammed. We don't like being called at home or on our cell phones or getting unwanted emails selling something suspect. This is what is happening here. We don't need this character trying to tell us something. We are all intelligent here. We know how to fly and...

I read the attachments... Am I supposed to be impressed? Am I supposed to rush out and buy one of these devices and maybe hire the OP at $1500/day? Sorry I am not impressed.

If you read all the witness accounts it is amazing to see how much they contradict each other. One eyewitness said the one that landed on the storage facility "exploded on impact" with the other plane. Another said it flew for a while. Some say the accident happened on take off. Others say on...

'fraid I'm with Jose. I tried reading DenverPilot's posts but they are too long, too many thoughts all disconnected. Ain't got time for that. I don't come here often, I'm not a regular and this reminds me why not. Wow. Arguing about this stuff. Simply amazing.

Um, no, it is clear to me you're probably unable to perform no flaps landings without bending metal from what you said. I really don't understand all the fuss. If you absolutely need to land with the least amount of runway then by all means use full flaps. If you don't, live a little. Try...

If you're having to "force it" when landing with less than full flaps, you are doing something wrong. I suggest you go practice landing without full flaps you might need to do that one day.

Wow. So do you feel really important now?

That's one helluva procedure! I can fully understand how someone could end up not getting out all the water with that crazy design. So you have to run repeatedly from inside to outside or do you use multiple buckets? WTF.

Ascend 172 by Yingling... Hadn't heard of it. Sounds like they rebuild these old birds with new parts and modern avionics. ADS-B in and out. Nice. But they should have upgraded to a 180 HP engine for that price and even so I'm not sure why anyone wouldn't just get a new one for a little more if...

I've heard you're more susceptible to vapor lock and carburetor icing with mogas. Vapor pressure for avgas is strictly controlled to be within 40 to 50 kPa. With Mogas it can be anywhere from 48 kPA to 100 KPa. You're kind of at the mercy of the formulation of whichever batch you have. You're...
