Yup... Have not been here in a few months because I find it a tedious forum full of bad jokes and Mooney/Cirrus/Bonanza snobs. I asked the Mods to delete my account to no avail (or reply for that matter). I can't locate the "DELETE MY ****ING ACCOUNT" button anywhere either, so I'm assuming...

Like I said... Not a fan of the fans. I guess I forgot the golden rule, "Thou shalt not make jokes at the expense of Cirrus/Mooney/Bonanza". The idea behind the BRS is sound; greatly reduced impact speeds. Ercoupes were designed around the same idea, but were limited by the technology of the day.

Cirrus is a nice plane (even though I prefer tin to plastic). My issue with them (and Mooney's and Bonanza's) is mostly their fans. It seems like any time anyone asks "What kind of plane should I get?", we get a long thread of "Cirrus/Mooney/Bonanza is the best! I fly mine from a 300' grass...

American Humans will build and service the American robots.

Yes... yes it can. Some cost even more.

I think troubleshooting may be a dying art. @Tom Hale, try a few things before you break out the wallet. My A&P instructor told me to "always start with the cheapest thing first" when troubleshooting. 1. Check the baffles. They may be worn/cracked/broken/missing. 2. Check the spark plugs. They...

^^^ Or a politician...

I saw a car parked in a handicap spot yesterday, and was pretty annoyed that they did not have a handicap tag. Then I realized the plate was from Texas, and figured..."Close enough". And you know what they call the guy who finishes last in his class at Law School? A lawyer.

Airnav has the note: - LIVESTOCK ON ARPT. - AIRPORT ACCESS BY CALLING INDIAN HEALTH SERVICES SECURITY DEPARTMENT AT 928-283-2501. I always love seeing notes like that. Sounds like an interesting place to land. Not much around it though.

WTF? Did y'all read how many people were injured on this stupid thing before the kid was killed? At what point do you start to think... maybe we need to take another look at this ride...

Seriously... ladies, children, and gentlemen of a delicate constitution should not click that link. That's how they get rid of unwanted rooster chicks. I read somewhere that some scientists are working to select out male eggs before they form an embryo so they can stop this sort of thing. [LINK]...

MAC's are solid machines, but are priced higher than a PC machine with the same (or similar) components. The OS is nice, but I'm not a fan. I've been running a Referb HP for... 5 or 6 years. I ran my refurb HP netbook for 12 years (Win XP, Ubuntu, Lubuntu, Chromium) - as performance degraded, I...

THIS is my favorite truck: The AM General M35A2 6-wheel drive, turbo-charged Continental multi-fuel Diesel V-6, 2-speed transfer case, 5-speed manual transmission, on-board compressor, rag top, fold-down front windows, and a winch. It has classic lines, will carry anything you need, can drive up...

This is how one mechanic gives another mechanic some needed overtime, and finally gets that time off he was wanting.

You say this forum has a long history of misogyny... It's adorable that you think I care. I did get a kick out of the meme though. Pilots are a strange kind of animal. We talk about airplanes when we are around women, and we talk about women when we are around airplanes.

These make really good coffee. When I was in Honduras, the locals used the frugal but excellent option of filtering through an sock. According to my associate from PR, the coffee sock must never be washed... it takes a while to get the real coffee flavor into it.

Stick and Rudder again. Ringworld up next. Also my collection of vintage Flying magazines from the mid 1940's - 1960's. They had radios back then that weighed "ONLY 24 Lbs!" Amazing...

Au contraire, mon ami! "European-American Barrel" is FINE dining. And the coffee ain't bad.

aw fer f**k sake...

Wow! I thought the Star Trek forums had social-justice drama. This should be very interesting to watch. So women don't feel welcome here because of one guy? Damn dude... I'm impressed.
