I PM'd you.

Yup... mine really got out of hand once I discovered the Arduino Leonardo (or Pro Micro clones) and that I could replicate every switch, lever, & knob in the cockpit and make it work correctly in the simulator.

I guess there are people having significant complications from buckling up? Just sayin'. https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/safety/adverse-events.html " .. As of August 11, 2021, VAERS has received 1,306 reports of myocarditis or pericarditis among people ages 30 and younger...

Correct. The Polio vaccine is considered a 'perfect vaccine'. The Covid vaccine is considered 'leaky' and those are HUGE distinctions! "...A leaky vaccine is one that keeps a microbe from doing serious harm to its host, but doesn’t stop the disease from replicating and spreading to another...

Be careful with those studies. That study also (conveniently) includes data from all the way back in January when just 0.5% of the population was vaccinated. Of course a huge percentage of those hospitalized were unvaccinated! It is like saying Advil saves lives because 100% of the people who...

A very good read from 2015 https://www.pbs.org/newshour/science/tthis-chicken-vaccine-makes-virus-dangerous

Not exactly the same thing but might be of some help - I applied for my SODA in the beginning of Oct and got my approval letter to schedule a medical flight test around mid December. Been trying to schedule some kind of flight test ever since.

Thank you for all of the great replies! The more I think about it, and after reading your replies, I think the instructor sets the whole tone for how much fun the lessons will be. It is really just like any other teacher of any other subject. I know I've had history teachers, for example, that...

I'm on the final stretch of my PPL training and I'm starting to shop for my own plane to either finish my training in or fly after I get finished. The other night I was getting ready for a night XC and the wife said something about having fun and I indicated that this was really not that fun...

I had it (tested +) right before thanksgiving. My kids ( 8,12,15) all had 'something' ... cough, one had low fever, one got mild pneumonia the weeks before but doc said not covid so she would not test them. Im sure I got it from them since I don't really go anywhere else. I have felt a lot worse...

I absolutely hated them too until my instructor demonstrated a few 'worst that could happen' (with plenty of altitude- uncoordinated & trying to correct with just aileron) and it really wasn't that bad. I'm still a student so I might be way off on this but I thought the purpose of the power on...

I think I didn't represent my timeline correctly. This was one of the ideas on my 'long term goals list'- not something I would be trying on my XC Solo :). I would certainly wait until I had the experience to pull it off- if it was realistic at any normal skill level. I would keep the plane at a...

Unfortunately it is the high voltage line- before the transformer that would need to get buried.

It looks like the S21 is available as a factory assembled option also but they are backordered for years. I would LOVE to build a S21 kit but I have had an 80% finished Factory Five '33 hotrod kit in my shop for 4 years now. I can't even mention starting a new project without hearing about that car.

I will have to check out burying a section of the line. It only goes to my house. Ill call them tomorrow and get a guestimate. I like tandem but I have heard a lot of reports that tandem is bad for back seat passengers. Sort of like the back seat in a car. My wife gets carsick in the back...
