Mark,

I've been hitting the books lately. I've just read Aerodynamics for
Naval Aviators (ASA). An excellent treatment of aerodynamics for the
aviator without the oversimplification one typcially sees in most
"learn to fly" books.


An excellent book. The only place I found the equation for
the relationship between weight and stall speed. Good
stuff about the different effects of different types of
flaps. Too bad it's buried in the "abyss" (my garage)
due to new space needs (bassinet, changing table, laundry basket,
mom's cozy chair...)



New pilots aren't hard to train, but they sure take a long
time to GROW!
