This may be the ultimate answer for me. Fly puppies instead.

Even so, if you are not climbing and the throttle(s) can be pushed forward, DO IT.

Or, in the modern world you can make a plane negatively stable but add a computer to add enough artificial stability to fly it easily, but keep the high maneuverability intact. The first one like this was the F-16

There is no concerns over detonation with GL100UL. It has been tested to meet the requirements of engines requiring 100LL. And running rich, it outperforms the 100LL spec, with a rating around 145. The warbird guys are chomping at the bit for it, as they will be able to run full rated power with it, since 115/145 is not available.

We stopped and had lunch there during my Mooney Transition. The food was good, but they were out of several things. Tried to get gas, but SS pump would not read/accept any card (we tried about 4). And no phone number to call for help. So did not buy any fuel.

When the Marines were first looking at the Harrier my Dad (Naval Aviator) thought the idea was hilarious. The idea was, they could cut a small hole in the jungle, close to the action and shorten the turn time to rearm and refuel. Problem 1 - How do you get armement and fuel into a hole in the jungle. Problem 2 - The vertical jetblast. So the Marines tried to operate on off of PSP (pierced steel planking, for temp runways). There were sheets of PSP flying EVERYWHERE.

Thanks. This is helpful for me to figure out how to run my 252 Doesn't your JPI read % power?

Another thing to think about. How old are your harnesses. I replaced the non-inertial reel harnesses with the Alpha Aviation ones. Partly due to wanting inertial reels, but also because the harnesses were original from 1987. And showed some sun fading, which likely means sun damage to the webbing.

Yes it is, but think of how much harder you would have hit the steering wheel without the harness.

It not that they need it to get up on the wing, it is how to keep them from stepping on the flap. I was thinking something like this. The red is a platform that bridges from the step stool to the wing walk, over the flap. It would be hinged at the green line.

I never understood in the Air Florida crash why they never pushed the power up. In the USAF we had 1000 foot check speeds. If you were at or below that speed at 1000 feet down the runway, something was wrong and you aborted the take off. A non-event at the fairly low speed you were going. Similar to the light plane, 70% of take off speed by 50% of the runway gone.

That crew did. My point is, if they had never stalled a swept wing aircraft, the would be wondering why, if they were stalled, the nose did not drop.

This is something I would like to have done. Need to find someone in the mid-Atlantic area.

Our 63 Chevy Impala wagon had them from the factory. Our 71 Monte Carlo had shoulder harnesses, but they were separate from the seatbelt and were a royal PITA. I don't think they ever got used. 73 Capri had real 3 point with inertial reel shoulders. As every car since then.

OK, but once the aircraft was stalled, what was the pitch? Hard for me to find what I need in those graphs.

TYPO.

I thought about this. I think the step is good, but what would be perfect is something that had a flap that went down and bridged the flap. But there is the issue of who picks it up and puts it away and who gets it out and sets it up. Based on the how you have to load people in the plane.

Thanks. I have to measure the hole. It is 3.25" as I suspect, then this can be installed without any cutting on the fuselage. Just drilling some holes. The hard part will be running wires if the removed the wires when they removed the beacon.

We DO know the effects of radiation. Both lower dose, longer term exposures and high dose short term. And the same issues with determining low dose effects occur with other agents than radiation. You need to follow a LOT of people, a LONG time and you have to have access to an equal number with no exposure. And then have to make sure that you actually have causality, not just correlation. There was a study published about the effects of extremely low frequency RF radiation from power lines. Based on the voltage and number of phases on the distribution through neighborhoods. After it was published, another person showed that the data could have been used to compare the same health effects to the number of cars going by per day. This was since the power lines follow roads and the further you get into neighborhoods, the lower the transmission line voltage and also less traffic as there are less houses served by that road. In general, EPA uses a linear dose response curve model. That is, they consider the only safe dose to be 0. But a lot of things are actually beneficial or required in low doses. Such as Zinc. A lot of zinc is bad. If you had a diet of 0 zinc, it would also be bad. Lead has been implicated in developmental issues in children. In adults, there are less issues, especially in low doses. And lead that does get into an adult, is secreted over time. In the old days, lead miners would be exposed to high levels and have health effects. The "cure" was to have to not work in the mines, but they would spend their shift walking around in a very hot room. This would increase the rate the lead was excreted, and get them back to work in the mines faster. Not exactly acceptable practice today.

My first car was like that. But my Dad, being a Naval Aviator did install seatbelts. He bought it new, and then the year before I started driving, but built is a hot rod.

Funny thing is, Lycoming says to not run LOP, but that chart shows that the Best Economy Cruise in the lean of peak range.

I am not buying by the ton. There is a guy locally that buys it by the ton or more, then casts it into reasonable size ingots. I buy it 100 pounds at a time from him. In the old days, I would buy from the scrap dealer and process myself. Yes, my boat was only 4000 pounds for a 28 footer. I like fast things.

The elevated lead levels from shooting tend to come from the lead styphnate in the primers not the bullets. Yes, I have been tested. And my profession is occupational health and safety.

This is not a good idea. In the case of a sudden stop, you will hit your face/head on the panel. If you hit hard enough, you may knock yourself unconscious and not be able to get out of a burning plane. I hit the panel hard enough, with a harness and wearing a helmet that I broke my nose and fractured the orbit of one eye. My friend, did not get out of the plane. I believe it was due to the poor fitting helmet he was using. His new, custom fit, Flight Suits Ltd helmet had been delivered the day after he left for us to go to Sun n Fun in his T-34.

Agreed.
