I play a bunch of indoor soccer, and my fiance has played outdoor her whole life, so I get to see it played a whole bunch lately. I REALLY like the idea of a back-court type violation. It is pretty sickening to see the team in the lead play an ugly form of 'keep away' for a half hour. I...

Thanks! That'll provide a good bit of reading for my day :)

Do you guys have links to the discussions on VAF? I'm curious to see what was said about the spar beforehand, as well as now that the accident has happened. I haven't been able to find it though... any help would be appreciated :)

Quick googling shows scrap aluminum prices as less than $1/lb. Seems that it would probably not be worth it.

I love this plane :) The wing paint job on this one inspired the wing paint on 331RV.

Did you take a look at the RV-12? LSA and has all of the nice new features of any 2 seater in its price range. The design is as solid as any of Vans' stuff, and 'fit and finish' is just a product of the owner :) Additionally, the Flight-Design aircraft are exceptional birds and come equally...

Cool, glad it helped! I've done a bunch of socket programming both in and out of .Net, and do C# development professionally. If you have more questions, you're welcome to PM me and I can give you my work email, and I'll help out when I can.

Take a look at the TCPClient class, it is a really easy to use socket implementation, you just treat it like a simple serial device. The actual "Socket" class is great when you know what you're doing, but it can be a little heavy when starting out. As for parsing the return values, that is...

Don't let the facts get in the way of a good joke. :nono:

It isn't that outrageous to me actually. Any company that has you sit at a computer all day (particularly for a salaried job) that filters internet too much ends up being pretty miserable. If my company stopped me from going to a bunch of websites that I enjoy, I'd probably be on the job hunt...

I don't think I have any good ones aviation related... Thanks to a really great intercom in my RV-12, I listen to music all the time while I fly, but it auto-tunes it out so it isn't a big deal. Foolish flying things: 1- I pulled the mixture instead of the throttle on short final in a C-150, I...

Danny Stark @ Twin Oaks rents out a Comanche and is an A&P, I'm sure he'd be willing to take a look, or might even know the plane in question.

Concur, though it seems like any decent headset is passable. I would say noise reduction is paramount (though my Zulus are great at it) and general comfort (not totally happy with the Zulus) are the most important.

When I was there a few years ago, that '3300x25' was more like '2200 x 15'. I can't imagine it got any better.

At OKH aborting a takeoff is pretty darn near impossible. It is a very steep downhill and pretty narrow. Additionally the pavement is pretty crappy. Application of the brakes at a decent speed is pretty dangerous. I've flown there once (With the OP actually), and wouldn't do it again without...
