Now that you mention it, when I first started doing xw landings - the slip on final was the technique I used. The whole approach feels more stabilized when you are not trying to straighten out a crab angle at the last minute on top of everything else. I eventually became comfortable enough with...

Hah, I just searched that and read it! Why on earth did he tell his buddy to lean forward? Was it for the sake of bracing for impact into the barn?

Fuel injection and flow balanced cylinders will be a must in my next plane.

I can see how that would cause problems if you have electric flaps... I am ok with the speed and efficiency that I get out of my 140. I bought it because it has a waas gps, stec 30 autopilot w/altitude hold and a lot of other goodies that really do not belong in a 140. But because it is a 140...

I have the HTC vive and have used it to play Elite Dangerous (a space simulator) and also War Thunder (a simulator/arcade air combat game). What I have noticed is that the immersion is really cool and hugely enhanced my video game experience. I did not feel any sort of nausea in the listed...

I do remember meeting you, and thanks! I understand the common leaning practice, I just cant help but thinking about other possibilities.

Huh? Stumbling from misfiring during leaning is not in line with what I have read and come believe about these engines. I thought the roughness was from the fact that as temperature approaches peak EGT, the amount of power produced by a particular cylinder becomes much more sensitive to...
