Couldn't bear it. I'm not realy into dancing and the single theme hat
droned on throughout was just mindnumbing, i though.


The place was full though!

Yep

Have you guys seen the book "America's Hundred-Thousand"? It is about
the USA fighter production in WWII. Very good...
Also, have you seen any of the EAA 'voices' or whatever it is they
call it; the recordings and stories from the guys (and gals) who were
there. Also very good...


Haven't seen that but it sounds like a fine idea.

What a wonderful idea. I hope EAA is successful with this.

Well, you also gave the world Joni Mitchell, so as a concilatroy
gesture we'll burn the entire panel of american idol at the stake.

American idle...


What hope has the human race now?

Betcha you could understand non-linear math
by figuring out the source of flutter in control
surfaces, and then why a mass counter balance
is needed even for a 152.

"Flap flutter." Well, it might be news to you that flaps don't
have mass balances. They're not subject to flutter.

What? "You've never seen flap flutter". You missed the infamous
"Cherokee Dance" created by flap flutter when the ol' Johnson bar was
coupled to a pilot with a case of nerves who kept missing the catch?
Wellll...It is more of a low frequency oscillation rather than
flutter.

Johnson bar fun is when you have a sweaty hand one day in one of the
early Cessna 150's and you thumb the release catch after a short field
takeoff and it slips out of your fingers. The resulting BANG when it
hits the floorboard as the flaps come up in a nano second can give the
guy next to you a heart attack!

LOL!

Just yesterday we were in the 172E (last 172 model with the bar).

Came down like an elevator...

I actually liked the bar really. One thing for sure. You always knew
where the flaps were :-))

I agree completely...

The A36 has a little indicator window hidden behind the big yoke arm.

Most times it's easier to just give it full flaps and be done.

I remember a new 1953 Tripacer. We had four folks in it and landed on a
grass strip. After we landed we realized the grass hadn't been mowed for
quite a while. Couldn't get up enough speed to take off. I had a bright
idea. Started the takeoff roll and started pumping the Johnson Bar for the
flaps. The airplane started bouncing and everytime we bounced out of the
grass it accellerated a little bit more. We made it off before we ran out
of runway. I felt like I jacked that darn Tripacer into the air! :-)
