Duhh! I keep forgetting Maule.

Michelle must be referring to the stick in the Diamond Star. Maules have yokes.

Coffee is only a way of stealing time that should by rights belong to
your slightly older self.

I first thought that it was a shared stick, but only one between the
two seats at front edge. Now I can picture how one might not have the
lap room if it has two sticks (one in front of each seat).

See? I live in a state of confusion!

That does make sense, since the subject is G-1000. I would have to be
thinking, for it to all add up, and that is definitely not happening today.
This was the first day back in school with students. I think THEY had all
had too much coffee, today!

Dropped on of my girls off at school this morning, the other one got
some kind of allergic rash all over. Tried Caladryl Clear, might have
to take her to the doc tomorrow. So you're a teacher, that's noble.

Yeah, thanks; I gotta keep reminding myself of that. And plus I teach the
lowest 10%, and put sharp and heavy tools in their hands! (carpentry)

Shop teacher? Now that's kewl.... Did you ever see that one Saturday
night live skit where a shop teacher saids, "I've been a shop teacher
for four years!" while holding up two full and two half fingers? I
always LMAO over that one. :^)

I took shop in 10th grade (I'm 43 now). Over the holidays I ran into my shop
teacher in Wal-Mart. I told him I was building a plane. If you listen real
close you can probably still hear him laughing.

Your statement that "Diesels are the future" is just as true today as it was
in 1983, when I was given a diesel-powered company car. Diesel was "the
future" then, just as it is today, and just as it probably will still be 20
years from now.

At least here, diesels are the present (and have been for at least a
decade). For car diesels, it can be difficult to tell you're driving a
diesel - they accelerate like a gasoline powered car, they are no
noisier than a gasoline powered car, they are not smoky and thanks to
ultra low sulphur diesel and Biodiesel are not the polluting, smoky
things of 1983. They also get much better fuel economy (particularly in
start/stop traffic).

As for aviation, it isn't just the price difference between 100LL and
diesel - consider that the Diamond Twin Star has better performance than
a Piper Seminole, but with the fuel burn of a 172.

Is it possible to rig it as a kneeboard? Too big, probably, huh?
The Maule has a yoke. lap space is not a problem.
The Diamond Star has the center stick.

George,

. The diesels cost significantly more money to buy


Where did you get that idea? Take another look at the Diamond Europe
price list.
