![]() As for the Puerto Rican hippo he can't even keep his stories straight. A little over a year ago he was accusing me of working on the Mandala 737 that crashed in Medan Indonesia. In this thread he inferred that I wasn't an A&P. Also he made the statement that I have been here in Sebring staying at my mothers for the past 10 years. Either I am an A&P and was overseas working or I don't have a license and have been here in Florida. That shows that he just spews this stuff to try to stir up crap. We'll see how how he is when he isn't hiding behind a keyboard probably a whimp and a blimp all rolled into one. It's both of their standard procedures ,make an accusation designed to harm someone then refuse to back it up with facts.Both zoom and jaun are poor excuses for journalists good Journalists have facts ,names ,dates etc. not just a comment. zoom is jelous of Laurel because she is doing so well without him .Now that she made Captain she accomplished a lot more in the last few years then zoom has all his life. A lot of us are very proud of her. Mr tuff guy jaun met some RAH guys at one of the airshows and he was a mr milk toast all polite and pleasent.Even brought his kid along to hide behind just in case.For all his bluster and bravado on the net he was a little mouse when meeting RAH guys face to face or should I say mano i mano? LOL!!! No worries Frank he doesn't want to meet you face to face it's easy to be brave from behind a keyboard. Have a nice vacation and say Hi to Mom for me . See ya Chuck (aka el Pollo Loco) S RAH-14/1 ret |

See ya Chuck (aka el Pollo Loco) S RAH-14/1 ret I'm back to check out the group after a decade of trying to get something done, (pointless, but I had to try..:-), and I see things haven't changed much at all. Chuck, Ron, and a handful of others are still posting mostly on topic. Zoom has found a new shill. The legal climate for the light aviation community hasn't changed much. The folks who were doing interesting and creative things still are. The only trend I've noticed is that they're less likely to talk about it here. Blogs have entered the scene and it's much nicer to discuss what you're doing with a closed circle of people sharing your interests, rather than post in a more public forum. Because there's still the same mob of self annointed experts howling that whatever you're doing is impossible. When you demonstrate that you've been doing it regularly and publicly for years, they switch to howling about safety issues. I'm kind of curious about one thing though. Whatever happened to that guy who was suing the FAA under provisions of the ADA claiming the weight limits for ultralights discriminated against heavy people? Later, Joe |

Whatever happened to that guy who was suing the FAA under provisions of the ADA claiming the weight limits for ultralights discriminated against heavy people? That's a new one to me, and I've been around here about 10 years. I may have forgotten about it if it was way back when, but I can say with some confidence that there has been nobody around here with that kind of claim, in the past couple years. You know as well as anyone that the signal to noise ratio goes up and down, over time. I would have to say that there is a pretty high noise factor, at the present time. There have been some interesting discussions, from time to time. As you could imagine, there has been a fair amount of discussion about the sport pilot and sport plane rules, with some good points being made. For some really interesting (not) stuff, google for treadmill takeoff. You will see that there are still a lot of dense people around. g -- Jim in NC |

I may have forgotten about it if it was way back when, but I can say with some confidence that there has been nobody around here with that kind of claim, in the past couple years. IIRC it was back around '96 and the guy was contending that the FAA limit of 254 pounds max empty weight made ultralights dangerously unsafe for anyone much over the FAA standard person weight of 170. I believe he was looking for an exemption that would let him fly his two person trainer with a single seat. Ring any bells? I think the guy lived in Florida. Joe |
