I had really been hoping that the effect of people having to use masks early on during the pandemic would be that people would get used to them, and have the common decency to wear them if they had a cough, but it seems that lesson wasn't learned. I wear a mask on public transport, medical...

The carbon fiber Scalewings P-51, surely: https://www.scalewings.com/sw-51-mustang/ Holy **** that thing looks fun (but pricey, and it'll probably years before you can get a kit)

Also I suspect if you look for less popular planes, you are probably more likely to find one with glass in it: - A Bellanca Super Viking! https://www.trade-a-plane.com/search?category_level1=Single+Engine+Piston&make=BELLANCA&model=17-30A+SUPER+VIKING&listing_id=2433940&s-type=aircraft ... but...

I think you will be fairly lucky to find a 4-seater for that price that also has an upgraded panel. There are a bunch of 4-seater IFR capable airplanes at that price, but they almost all seem to have pretty old equipment...

The Sonex's fuselage is a lifting body, so I imagine having a broken canopy results in a fairly significant reduction in lift.

RIGHT?!

I would just like to point out that possums are marsupials, not rodents. Talking to my Mum in the UK the other day, she claims that Marmite on grated cheese works very well as bait for rats, but I'm damned if I'm going to pay whatever extortionate price they charge for imported Marmite over...

If I understand it correctly, G100UL doesn't quite fall within all the ASTM specifications of 100LL - I think it's slightly too dense or something like that - which is one of the reasons they aren't part of the PAFI/EAGLE program. So the guy quoted in this article may be correct - it may be that...

He might have landed on a gravel bar in the river. That seems to be a pretty popular activity for the YouTube bush pilot crowd.

The judge mentions several times that jeopardy has already attached to the trial, and says that a mistrial was not possible because there was no 'manifest necessity'. I'm not entirely sure what that means, but I assume that the prosecution doesn't get to have multiple bites at the apple because...

If you get an Xbox, make sure you get the Xbox Series X, rather than the rather than the Series S. They released the Series S at the same time as the Series X, as the 'budget' version, but it has literally only 1/3 of the power.

I skimmed the article, but it just seems that anyone who asks "Why doesn't he have a gulfstream?" doesn't really understand Trump at all. Trump wants something big! I'm sure when he got the plane he wanted something that seemed presidential - something that would be more like air force one than...

In a case like this, where the throttle is stuck open, is it fairly safe to assume it will stay that way? I feel like that would make a difference as to whether it's advisable to fly to a difference airport, rather than just land at the one you're in the pattern of.

Probably worried that folks will use them to smuggle in copies of The Handmaid's Tale.

The main effect of this as I see it is that it expands the range of fantasy aircraft I might get if I suddenly became very wealthy.

Yeah - they run on the Tufty 2040 displays with embedded RP2040 microcontrollers. The biggest pain in the ass was getting them talking to the flight sim. It's annoying that the USB HID specifications for flight sim hardware is rather limited, because it means everybody has to write their own...

If you ever like to **** about with flight simulators, you could make some little avionics for them:

Related to this, what's the best Windows calculator app? The one in Windows 10 now is terrible. I do have a few Casio scientific calculators which I fairly often use, but I like being able to use a calculator on the computer because of the ease of copy & paste.
