    It has happened again...

    Solution for that is a sibling. :D May? :rofl: Welcome to parenthood. Hope springs eternal... Now to answer your very fair question. All kids are different. Some will need a spoon at the end of the isle and some a stern look. But no matter what, if you lay down a law you must...

    Comanche 250 (1961)

    Need to know the specifics about the engine. Total time, was it pickled, do the cam/crank look just like the throttle...? I would be looking for a good core.

    I wouldn't loose hope. Call him. Meanwhile folks need to know that you need help in Newport Beach. He may suggest another surgeon that still services in Vail too.

    Broke my back and need HELP.....

    It looks like Dr. Peters might have moved to CA. Is this the Dr. ? I was checking to see if he had affiliation in the Denver area.

    Flipping with Slats

    Not necessarily. Not all airplanes require it. I didn't even see mention of it in the citabria POH, er, AFM.

    Best Material to Provide Protection in a Airplane Crash

    Hmm. Me too than. Show us. Yeah, that. Now if your high school lab added some oxidizer, then, sure, that's what we've been saying. And if the high school lab is using a crucible of liquid oxygen then, again, show us. :yes: :D

    Best Material to Provide Protection in a Airplane Crash

    :D Oh, you meant an aluminum airplane. :redface: I was just answering the question of aluminum burning. So, airplane crash, remove all other fuel sources: No, aluminum won't burn in free air. (not even as a powder I believe. It has a high boiling point.) And don't worry too much about...

    Explain Motor Homes to me, please...

    Always live in moderate weather. Call South Dakota home. (tax benefits) Travelling and exploring is fun. The nomadic Minnesota -> Arizona -> Minnesota -> Arizona -> ... (oh, yeah, necessary annual 2 week stop in SD) doesn't sound like fun. I would miss my shop. And I like to ice fish.

    Avgas and Jet A Contamination Results

    Bravo! Science is cool. (said the obviously biased scientist) Despite the fuel gauge indication, I stick the airplanes I rent just to make sure the fuel gauge is reasonable. The stick in the citabria I rent looks to be mahogany, which may or may not matter. If I doddle the fuel will...

    Underpriced planes...

    Socialism is more than political system in that it claims the economic system of its society. My comment is not to take on the whole of socialism but to point out that the socialist market system seriously inhibits its probability of being an efficient market system because it does not have...

    Responsibilities and flying

    Single use: a day in your blood, a week in your urine, not in your hair Regular use: a week in your blood, a couple months in your urine, until the markers fall/get cut out of your hair (months). I applaud your asking the question. Life is an onslaught of choices that curiosity and asking...

    Getting back into currency - refresher training?

    18 years off for me (had about 100 hrs). I'm about 11 hours in but I threw in getting TW endorsement. I can't rent the citabria until I have 15 hours dual anyway so I haven't even pushed the flight review. My instructor got a little gungho for the review until I pointed out that I can't rent...
