I've seen cockpit video of Bob Hoover doing some of his amazing maneuvers and I was surprised to see sometimes very fast power changes - like from full power to zero, and then after a bit from zero back to full power at what looked like as fast as he could move the lever.

Aviatoreb here reporting for duty!

They used to have a reasonably nice app that I think ran at least through internet browser for flight planning - but that seems to have gone away years ago.

Beautiful!

Exactly - we shouldnt fly without it - but no - no difference in normal opps but be aware it is there to shape the stall characteristics and that is unbalanced.

Oh what a pain. I lost one in flight a decade ago - I was without one for like 6 months since there were none in the supply chain at any price and I forgot how much it was but it was very very expensive. I kept browsing eBay for like 2 years after I had replaced it and managed to get an extra at an excellent price from a salvage plane which was not necessarily selling that part. But I made an offer and they sent it.

I’m glad I did the major overhaul - my crank turned out to be in sufficiently poor shape they replaced it and my engine case needed some work so a top would not be enough.

OMG! Me too! What's wrong with us?!!

Exactly. Very unwise! I do it out of love for it - and addiction... :-O

Well I tell you what - I just got my invoice - and it's eye watering. I wonder if my eye would have fallen out if that had been hit with another 90% on some of the items.

I have an overhaul almost done at RAM late this month. I wonder if engine overhauls will become a lot more expensive - where are overhaul parts produced?

That's quite a story! Ever seen this gag picture?

Wow - you flew in 35kts at 90 degrees?

But if you do that - where will you put your cigar ashes???!!!

Love the poetic phrasing. In fact, et's offer a Mooneyspace prize to the best Haiku about good smooth peaceful confident landings to tell to ourselves while landing.
