Old stuff -- the USB2 ports are ubiquitous and faster then 1394.

Not really, you'll never actually sustain the full USB2 speed. 1394 is
now 800Mbit/sec as well, although most video cameras will use
Firewire-400, since that's more than adequate for the job alrady.

Depends on the Bonanza - I found that flaps 10 on an S-35 model made a
worthwhile difference to a soft field takeoff (broke ground sooner).

I'll second that motion. Best thing I've ever done.

Aside from the health benefits, the money saved is incredible. I
could buy my airplane with the cash I've saved in the 21 years I've
not been smoking.

Good for you. BTDT. HANG IN THERE! It will soon be worth it.

Being able to climb stairs without getting winded, not hacking up flem, or
whatever that crap is, tasting, REALLY tasting your food, and smelling more
than you can imagine. Oh, that's not always good. g The knowledge that
you may have a better health outlook, esp. in your later years. Many more
plus factors than I can think of here.

Good luck and be strong.

PS- I didn't think your post was all that bad; just that you missed
understanding something.

This picture was taken before the pigstickers were put up. If you can
imagine six steel spikes spaced every 500' at the treeline on the left
side of this picture 20 feet above the trees, you've got it about right.

I'm glad, because either my eyes suck, or ...I don't know why I can't see
them.
What the hell are they there for? I can't imagine why they would do that,
but then, if it is the FAA, I guess that explains it.

They are the support poles for the obstruction lights so we don't hit the
trees at night. I guess hitting a 4" steel pole is better than hitting the
top of a Douglas fir, eh? And not that we couldn't do a little tree
climbing and mount the light to the top of the tree so the light would grow
along with the tree? Naaaaaah.

Well, it is in California, which is on the Left Coast...

Some of the worst accidents I've witnessed were caused by the driver
simply looking at his passenger while talking to them.

Funny you should mention this. I was watching a movie just the other day,
and in one scene the driver looked directly at the passenger for what must
have been at least 10-15 seconds, while the background scenery zoomed by.
This drives me (so to speak) nuts when I watch movies, I can't imagine what
it was like for you in real life.

Beech is somewhat deficient in the matter of soft field takeoffs and
flaps. They really don't help you in the manual. We had a fly in at a
friends house yesterday. 1200 foot grass runway. 95 degrees and about
5 knots of wind right down the runway. My owners manual says for a hard
surface runway at that temp and the weight I was at(2360 pounds, 940
under gross) with no flaps and no wind I would need 600 feet of runway.
Manual says nothing about what to add in for a non hard surface runway
or what to subtract for flaps. I know from other publications that
flaps will subtract 20% from the total. The runway surface is just a
WAG but I think the manual from my 182 said to add 8% for the runway.
So that's a net loss of needed runway and since even if I needed 600
feet that's still only half the runway.
Now if Jay would just get the video I sent him last night of the Cub
nosing over figured out you could see a really cool experimental Cub
with retractable leading edge slats.
