My wife getting scared

The tripping point in this discussion has been the absolute refusal by
some participants to accept your last statement (and the point I've
been making) as true and correct.

The tripping point of Monty's post was that he seemed to feel that by
boasting about your qualifications it would somehow discredit other
posters (odd that he didnt mention his own qualifications ). You are
pretty well endowed, aviation wise (I for one admire your passion and
comitment to GA) , but Montie failed to explain how this makes your
posts any more relevant than anyone elses.


The gist of the thread *was* whether or not engine out practice was
worth the expense (and risk) of this added engine wear.
Unfortunately, that debate was lost in the muddle over whether the
wear was actually occurring.

The gist ought to be maintaining proficency with minimal wear and tear
on your plane. Lycoming recomends no more than 100 degrees per minute
temp decline in CHT. Those of you who fly with an engine analizer will
find that this not difficult to acomplish and still get the benefit of
practice. Take a look at glider tow operations. These guys do low
speed high power climbs and then dive back to the pattern to do it
again 4 to 5 times an hour all day long and most of them regularly
make it to recomended TBO (The careful ones). Ask them how it is done
sometime.

Monty, I think you are missing the point. The cronieism LD is refering
to has to do with RAP and not his personal accomplishments .

The phrase 'little circle of' is what I went after. Jay has a pretty 'big
circle of' and I explained why. RAP is historicaly interwoven with most of
Jay's aviation experiences. RAP readers know Jay through his postings of
those adventures and experiences As for the word "cronieism," it was
(lunchroom posturing) bait, tossed out there by LD - nothing more. Heck, I'm
not even sure what it's suppose to mean, here at RAP?

Having a condisending day are we ?

First: With Larry, I thought I'd have a little fun - ONLY because I figured
he'd appreciate the effort. We have a history of lobbing kittenballs at each
other, from time to time. (Yes, real kittens!)

Second: "Condescending?" C'mon, it's Larry! + humor ...'if only the charter
would allow'. Oh crap, could it be; that was Larry being funny and I missed
it? Nah.

Third: NAC ...ducks (in barrels), ducks (ugly) and swans. Again - EFFORT.

Oh, fer chrissake..."no doubt?"

What evidence can you produce - in the form of documented engineering
studies - that this is so?

I am not asserting that it *isn't* so, but folks who are making such a
definite claim need to come up with something better than just saying so to be
credible.

Handwaving, flat assertions and anecdotes are not convincing.

Turns out, as Jay revealed so nicely, he himself is the problem.
What saddens me is that this "community" does nothing about it if it's our
oh-so-esteemed Brother Jay, but screams bloody murder when someone like MX does
it. Usenet, indeed...

Such a bias toward comrades is not unique to Usenet.

I see the bias you mention as the result of at least two factors: a
result of Mr. Honeck's "contribution" to GA, contrasted against Mr.
Atkielski's maligning of GA (and indeed most other aspects of
non-artificial aviation). Couple that with the social bonding that
occurs among drinking buddies and EAA members, and it's easy to see
how Mr. Honeck's frequent lack of insight and subjective opinion in
lieu of empirical fact are overlooked and tolerated by a certain
segment of the readership of the rec.aviation.piloting newsgroup.

Really? Must be my ISP is missing posts as what I've seen is running
almost unanimously contrary to Jay's opinion.

In other words, you disagree. The tyranny of viewpoints.
