AIRPLANE: snip factual definition of airplane I think everyone but you knows what I mean. -- Jim Pennino An airplane is an airplane. I consider many "real airplanes" to be fragile with their cloth wings ( which i've flown ) and many electric airplanes such as a Sonex or the electraflyer to be nice weatherproof planes far superior to gas powered ultralights. You're entitled to your opinion. But it's only that. --- Mark |

I feel strange a mile up in anything I can stick my finger through. My first trainer was a J - 3 antique. I also feel weird about buying something made 60 years ago.

I feel strange a mile up in anything I can stick my finger through. My first trainer was a J - 3 antique. It would take very close to the same abuse to stick your finger through a fabric airplane as it would to do the same to the Apollo spacecraft. I also feel weird about buying something made 60 years ago. Maybe there's something unseen. Not likely if it hasn't shown up in 60 years. Does the phrase "annual inspection" mean anything to you? -- Jim Pennino Remove .spam.sux to reply. |
