For less prop blast you want the control forward for less pitch.

Is that entirely true? As I understand it there are psychological and physical aspects to addiction. An individual who gets addicted to narcotics (or alcohol) because they find them "fun", or have a psychological addictive personality, is one thing, and is likely to relapse, or substitute...

Also seeing this when trying to reply to this thread, the third try it went through:

Ditto. A few times last night it returned "database error".

I need to get bigger/better tires than the stock 245/75 Bridgestone tires on steel wheels that came on my Gladiator. I don't need to go real big, don't want to lose performance, don't want to regear, besides big tires get pricey. Tempted by a set of like new Mojave takeoffs (285/70 Falken MT)...

Although I've long known and liked the song and suspected that David Gilmour had done at least some flying, the above post got me curious, turns out he had a collection of vintage aircraft and started an aviation museum to house them: "Intrepid Aviation was a way for me to make my hobby pay...

Definitely not doable under current LSA rules. Under MOSAIC, well, we really don't know what the final version of MOSAIC will look like, or when it will really happen, so buying an airplane now for what you think MOSAIC will look like is probably a bad idea. A well designed airplane with fixed...

A medical isn't out of the question; there is a procedure to get a "statement of demonstrated ability" to waive some medical requirements. There have been one eyed pilots, including record setting aviator Wiley Post. It's probably much easier for a class 3 than a class 1 or 2. Regarding LSA...

Just like Abe Lincoln's axe... the handle was replaced five or six times and the head was replaced a couple of times, but it's still his original axe, right?

"...my father coached riflery in a high school for 28 years, and he ventured that an unventilated shooting range may have been a cause.... For over a quarter century, lead dust was inhaled not just by my dad, but by his team members and my brothers and me as well.” I had not heard that; that...

At least with straight floats you can't forget to retract the wheels for a water landing. I knew a guy who made that mistake not once but twice. :eek:

There was another one a few years ago when the news reported a forced landing and breathlessly reported that the planes tanks were full of "high octane aviation fuel" (because it must be so much more dangerous than "low octane fuel").

I went without hull on three sub $10K airplanes (and regretted it once). $25K I can't afford to lose, so I carry hull. Liability absolutely, if a gust of wind catches me and I clip the wing of somebody's expensive airplane I don't want to be on the hook for their repairs. The feds and most...
