    Climate change

    Large sums of money, along with political clout are tied up in this ‘climate change’ controversy. Given these two factors, it is reasonable to at least question the motivation of a) those perpetrating green technology, carbon caps and such, as well as b) those trying to downplay climate change...

    Michael Jackson Dies of heart attack

    Amen, David. The guy was a freak. Talented, maybe, but he got lost somewhere along the way. The scary part of this is with Afghanistan going strong, Iran in turmoil and N. Korea threatening nuclear war, our headlines and front pages are filled with Michael Jackson. What the hell is wrong with us?

    Something to ponder!

    Al, I think you’ve struck a sensitive chord here :) , and I don’t think you’re going to get a lot of argument from this forum. Given that a GT-40 is not a necessity for survival (although for some it may be close), most of the folks here are undoubtedly ‘haves’, granted some certainly have more...

    The Brigade of Gurkhas

    A hearty "well done" to all of you in the UK that supported the Gurkhas. May your Kukri's always stay sharp...and firm :)

    Power steering

    Thanks, guys. Would you care to offer any advice, especially on what "NOT" to do? Also any problems on alignment and such? Can PM me or email me. Thanks again, Mike

    Power steering

    Has anyone tried installing an electric power assist? This would be on an MGB rack on an ERA.

    We need this man.

    He's already been "discovered" here in the States. I saw him being interviewed by Glen Beck on Fox a few days ago. He'd sure as hell get my vote :)

    For Sale - 1 off Spitfire ?

    Hi, guys. Re. the ME262, I recently received a newsletter from the Collingsworth Foundation (they have a collection of war birds that they fly around the country and sell rides - I got 30 minutes in a B17G - amazing). They have just been given a two-seat ME262. It is a replica that took 10 years...

    Nuke subs collide

    I see in the news that HMS Vanguard and a French boat 'Le Triumphant' got into a little bumper cars game :o) Any bets they were playing 'grab ass'? It was reported that the French sonar bubble in the nose got dinged, implying it was behind the Brit. and maybe got a 'brake check'? Any comments...

    Another one down

    Great video, spydermike. I stand corrected. I DO remember a training video, now, way back...like 40 years ago? I confess I don't have a lot of time in General Aviation. The Continental accident , ghowever, still does sound like a wing stall event, with the shaker, pusher, and the fact it hit...

    Another one down

    The reports were on CNN, quoting the NTSB findings from the tapes. Re. a 'tail' stall, several problems with that. a) The stick shaker/pusher is activated by an AOA (angle of attack) probe predicated on wing AOA. b) With the exception of the F-16 in supersonic flight (it's essentially...

    Another one down

    Not looking good, guys...(are there any ladies on this forum?). Last reports on the news and the internet say a)they got the stick shaker, b) they got the stick pusher and c) the autopilot was on. Given that 99% of the stuff the news puts out immediately after an accident is BS and you can't...

    Another one down

    Looks like another one in Heathrow? Crash landing? Anyone have details? Paul, re. icing, you hit them all, as in all of the above. Todays news casts did refer to the pilots complaining about icing. Instrument icing has happened, moreso in the past when "pitot heat" wasn't as reliable (our...

    US House Bill 45

    Thanks for the heads up and the link. Just wrote my congressman. Like most here, I have no problem with registering a weapon, nor with required background checks etc. This bill, however, contains a lot of crap apparently designed to make things a royal pain in the ass. The re-licensing every few...

    Happy Australia Day Everyone!!!

    Drop-bears, koala like creatures with sharp claws, said to like lurking in tress, especially in the suburbs, and when hungry prone to drop on you; not as bad as Bunyips :o) Ah yes, Australia, a great country, where men are men and sheep are nervous :o) Gotta love it.
