Hey guys, I tried hand-propping a 172SP yesterday, without success. I don't have experience of hand-propping (I was at the controls), but the guy throwing the prop did. I understand that it's tricky with a fuel-injected engine (which the 172SP has). Anyone have any tips on how to do it? Tom

I just read an interesting argument by Lew Gauge in his E-185 Bonanza book. Some background -- the older Bonanzas (straight 35) have a "Flap" switch. There's no increments unless you stop the motor as the flaps are being dropped. Apparently it's hard on that design to start-stop the motor. Lew...

It appears Al G has finished uploading his scans of the 1945 CARs to my picture gallery. I hadn't noticed because the permissions were wrong - I've now set them so anybody can see them. You can see them at http://gallery.xcski.com/v/agerhart/ Note that there is a pull down menu at the top right...

I went for a quick flight yesterday evening and I notice a couple of guys hanging out near the end of the runway. This is a pretty quiet airport so people around are noticable. At first I thought they were watching someone solo. However, as I taxied by them I noticed that they were in a John Deere...

Here's perhaps a strange question; Do helicopters have lower IFR minimums than fixed-wing aircraft? It seems like IFR would be a cinch in a chopper because if you got confused or the flying got difficult one could just slow down, stop, hover, think about it and then continue once the pilot...
