Default Anti-skid brakes on light aircraft

I'm not defending Mx, but it's snotty replies like this that make real
pilots more hesitant to join the conversation. I've never flown a Baron
and never intend to, and if I had a question (OK, not one that stupid)
about landing gear I wouldn't want an answer unique to a Beechcraft
anyway.


Anybody who has read through some past archives and/or lurked for a while
on the group (IMO a requirement before posting anywhere!) is bound to
recognize why this sort of response is being made and why it won't happen
to him.

Viper's response is a pretty funny in-joke (hint: there's a reason his
reply is specific to the Baron) and expecting any group, especially one
this small, not to have in-jokes is kind of silly.
