Safest engine-out water landing plane - low wing or high wing. I plan a post soon on this one. Seems like low wing is better. This matters to me, as I will travel frequently to Catalina Island.
Seems like low wing is better.
I'm starting a post now...

Fixed, I really hated riding the Jolly Greens in the AF.
I agree.

Alas, my once favorite supermarket brand, Hebrew National hot dogs have done the unthinkable. They have changed the recipe,
what did they change? I haven't had one in awhile, so I

You can't do that. You have violated the dichotomy.

Ouch, a Dichotomy with no correct answer!!!

Touchdown! Greaser!
The one that fits your head.
The answer to all of these is easy: Yes.
(As long as it's airworthy, of course.)
The one that gets you done.
An iPad is a tablet.
Oshkosh.
Doesn't matter if ya don't touch down in 'em.
Again, does it fly? Are all the required gauges present? Then go fly and who cares what's in the panel. I've enjoyed the hell out of everything from the J-3 up to the Hawker.
Two is better than one, of course.
But as long as the twin isn't doing an impersonation of a single, and the single isn't doing an impersonation of the glider, I'll fly it!Lean of peak. What kind of idiot would want to burn more gas for no reason?
Track up if you're looking out the window, North up if you're looking at the chart.
Both, but be sure to ***** about them on a regular basis anyway.
There. I solved 'em all in one post!

Way to stir the hornet's nest!
1. David Clark... How else would the non-flying public identify one as an Aviator? Otherwise you may be mistaken for a guy with an out-dated walkman from the 80's. If there is 'fashion' in aviation, in includes something painted in an aweful-half-rotten-lime-green tone. And yes, you can dance on my grave L O L
2. If it flies, I'm in.
3. Low wing... just looks better (non-objective, I know).
4. Well, if you need those things, are you an 'Aviator' or a 'geek?' GPS, I'll give you but anything that makes my compass 'trip the light fantastic' can stay at home.
5. Mission profile.
6. Mission profile and LOTS OF $$$$$$$$$$$$$$ I DUNOTHAVE.
7. Anything with 'Cherokee' in it's name. Spiral instability and the lack of in-flight adjustable rudder trim beat anything < cessna 182 (that I have flown anyway). However, the operational cost won out in the sturdy C-150 Airframe, which is something I cannot deny. Mission profile: a close tie, preference vs. cost of ownership/operation. I have to admit it's almost impossible to break a Cessna Landing Gear and, if you have during training, you probably didn't continue to be here on this forum. (fetal position)
8. Oshkosh
9. Yoke preferred (completely subjective opinion) I'm not a bush pilot.
10. I'm thinking I don't need a 'state.' If I can fly there, why not? I'm guessig the best state isn't where I am though, b/c it's WAY to quiet here.

An iPad is to a tablet as a iPhone is to a Mobilephone - not considered the same in Apple Speak. :wink2:

The view (and ride) from the front row seats is much better. We called them HH3Fs and I loved them.

I'm usually the first one to argue about beer, but you won't get that from here.
I could pull the Obsidian Stout card, but it's not worth it.

They were the only way to get from Eielson to the Blair Lakes gunnery range in AK. They broke down constantly sometimes on the way out and sometimes on the way back. Since I did the inspection on the installation and upgrades to the TOSS there I had to make the trip more times than I care to remember. The pilots loved to verify collective response (only thing I know to call it) by rolling the collective out and trying to catch it before the wheels hit pavement. It didn't always work and we would hit the tarmac hard then do it again.
None of that instilled much confidence, maybe I would feel differently about it now that I am a pilot.
