I was almost going to post the same thing yesterday, but not as well written or kind. Ed is a nicer person than me. I just didn't see much difference in three years.

Hero (I don't care what anyone else says, Snoopy is the world's greatest pilot.)

I'm just happy to hear about a guy making a lot of money being wrong most of the time that isn't in politics or broadcast media. It's sadly heartwarming.

The funnier part to me is from the commenter "I hate that it's turning into a resource that can no longer be trusted". In what universe was a search engine a dispenser of information trusted to be accurate? But if you're going to put glue on pizza, I suggest school paste. I know a couple of...

:) I'm not skilled or experienced enough to debate it. But I do think at least a bit of it is based on aircraft.

It's probably better than finding out your spouse is an accordionist. Unrelated, I'm watching a car show, and one mechanic comments "this car is going to have a TON of air conditioning when we're done." I'm not sure he realizes that's not really that big of a deal.

I'm glad you planned well enough to have extra fuel to help, that you helped, and that you got back safe.

I'll agree what I'm doing may not be the most common. But my experience with the last few feet above the ground 3 point isn't a problem with sudden gusts, it's much more of a concern when the wind stops or decays a lot. Coming in steep, just a bit above stall, if the wind picks up it's not...

Not to be a jerk, but the Spirit of St Louis was a tailwheel. Joking aside, I can't see any money in specifically having a tailwheel aircraft just to do endorsements. I could maybe see doing primary flight instruction in tailwheel, at a premium over instruction in tricycle. It may or not be...

You have way more tailwheel time than me, but I prefer to 3 point in gusty conditions. Simply because I don't want to land on purpose more than once, and to me if I'm on two wheels the plane is still flying. Actually it's really close to flying just sitting on the ground. Now this is all...

I learned something today in math class. That the recommended min oil temp of a Lycoming engine, above, is identical to the ideal sous vide temp for dark meat chicken, 165F. Coincidence? I wonder.

FAA or not, am I the only one wondering why someone would take a bottle of whatever from a cooler and drink it, without knowing what the f*(*k was in it? Even if it's not dangerous, it could very easily be some kind of green tea thing that tastes like rotted lawn clippings. Or worse, some...

So if the registered owner is a Russian citizen, do they have the ability to sell the aircraft? I have no idea. If the owner is a Russian citizen, can you have any legal transaction with them? Also no idea. Not saying to not do the deal - again, no idea. But I'd be careful. In part because...

That continues to be one of the most amazing - and useful - automotive projects that I've ever seen. Did you have to drill extra holes in the frame for the galvanizer to accept it?

The irony of that, if I have it right, is that that aircraft was created in part as a result of the screwup over in that very country during the Carter administration.

Uncle Bill. One of the kindest people I've ever known. I never heard him raise his voice to anyone. Truck driver in Europe. Survived the battle of the bulge, and never talked about it. Had flashbacks of that during his last few months, from things he'd been carrying around for 40+ years...

Reminds me of a little Johnny joke... Little Johnny goes to school with a pirate hat and eye patch. The teacher asks "What are you dressed up as, Johnny?" Johnny replies "I'm a pirate!" The teacher asks "Where are your buccaneers?" Johnny replies "Under my buccan hat!" So maybe the guy on the...

For purchases I actually completely agree with you. While I can understand why someone might like to take other forms of payment, if you're in business, you need to assume some risk. And if you're selling things on a forum, like it or not, you're in business. Even it's just a one time, one...

I've flown more or less the RC version of that, that may have pre-dated the full sized. https://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?676669-LightFlite-com-s-RC-Bug-Kit-Review It was a guy local to here that built them. Other than the size, the primary difference is that the "bug" had a flat...
