    Reasons the takeoff climb would use a different vspeed than Vy

    I will usually climb above Vy. Better forward visibility, more airflow over the engine, and better ground speed. Once I'm above TPA and out of the airport area, I'd rather get across the ground rather than above it.

    Can an engine run TOO cold

    Maybe worth noting is that water starts to boil at 212F at sea level. It vaporizes at a lower temp (notice steam coming off the pot prior to boil). However, at 13,000ft, water boils between 185-190F. Therefore oil temps in that range would be sufficient to remove water by vaporization.

    My first frustrating session

    I'm still new to this PIC thing, so take what I say with the appropriate amount of salt... Best thing I did was read "Stick and Rudder" by Wolfgang Langewiesche.

    Need help hiding a body

    Speculating that the "object" closely fits the general make-up and build of the average American, it's better to use lye or some other caustic as that will dissolve fat much better than any acid. That, or pigs...pigs work well too.

    Constructive thread about Security

    Privatize security, but make it part of the carriers' responsibility. The major airlines would have more responsibility (more airplanes, passengers, destinations, etc.) but the local regional market could break back in with less expensive security to get me from ICT to OMA since the mid-west...
