Perhaps it has snob appeal.

Heh. Know what a Flight Design CT looks like? Not much snob appeal
there. :)

My teenage daughter thinks it's "cute".

That being said, the next brand new airplane I buy will be a CT. My big
iron, IFR days (KC135) are long behind me, and the CT fits my mission
profile nowadays, which is pretty much day VFR flying around Montana.
If I had 90 large ones laying around I'd buy one in a heartbeat.

Cuter than a bug.

I used to feed a P Baron, this looks positively affordable.

And about the same size, too, from the looks of the photos.

Pilot Induced Oscillation. It's usually something that happens during
the landing flare, but can happen on a short-coupled aircraft in any
phase of flight.

Like the book _Airframe_. I guess I should have remembered it.

I wasn't aware that a Bonanza was in that category, but apparently it is.

I've read about phugoid (what a bizarre word!) oscillations, both
pilot-induced and otherwise, and apparently they are universal to some
degree. When I first encountered these in simulation, I thought it
was an artifact of the simulation.

Planes are built to handle it.

Well, a 737 can handle only 2.5 Gs. That's not a very wide margin of
safety.

I don't know where MX gets hid info, but transport category are
certificated to 3.3g max, 4.9g ultimate loading (standard category).

Recently, Mxsmanic posted:

What parts of the MSFS simulation are incorrect?

Why would you care?

So, you disagree based on a total lack of experience and a notion of
probability that you can't verify.

No, I simply disagree. The rest is conjecture on your part.

It is not conjecture that you lack flight experience, as you have stated
that fact many times. It is not conjecture that you can not confirm your
notion of probability, because, among many other factors, you don't like
to meet people in real life (again, your own statement). There is no way
that you can get a relevant sample size to permit you to conclude
*anything* about pilots with that kind of policy.

Why do you persist in personal attacks?

Just because your attacks lack a specific target does not mean that they
are impersonal when posted to a group of GA pilots. For example, you
stated: "I have found that GA pilots are the least informed and competent
of all pilots." It is not insignificant that, regardless of your opinion
of GA pilots, the worst of them are more and better informed than you are
about flying real airplanes. You feel the need to make such comments, and
in response, I point them out to readers of this NG.

It's hard to tell, because so many are here to ridicule him.

I read your comment as, "It's hard to tell (...how this guy is here to
learn) because so many are here to ridicule him." How would people wanting
to ridicule Mx prevent such an explanation, should one exist? Or, did you
mean something else?

Happy New Year

Of course it would help if a clue-bird landed and people could
figure out that it's a troll.

Well, for an ever-increasing number of pilots, it is!

How would people wanting
to ridicule Mx prevent such an explanation...

It adds noise. I have found that he responds (slowly) to careful,
focused discussion which teases out the roots of his misconception or
miscommunication. However, this is hard to see if a great percentage of
the comments to him and about him are designed to ridicule. I will also
add that the pilots here ridiculing him have made aviation comments that
are also not very accurate or perceptive. (I've seen, and even made,
such errors myself in other unrelated threads, so this is not unique to Mx).

Mx's noise doesn't seem to be intended that way. It is just the natural
result of a headstrong attitude. However, those who ridicule him make
noise that =is= intended to be noise. It hides what signal there is,
and that is also intentional.

This makes it hard to tell whether Mx is here to learn, or not. I think
he is, and is just not very good at the necessary social skills.
