There's a reason autopilots were developed, namely, that it's very tiring to
hold the controls for hours and hours. It's true that you need not grip them
continously, but neither can you ignore them for very long if you have no
autopilot.

You are still a babbling, know nothing of the real world, arrogant, idiot.

One of the first things my instructor did during training was to have
me fly a short cross country with my arms folded across my chest
maintaining course with rudder after trimming out the airplane.


On a lighter note, my instructor put me in a link trainer one time and
pounded on it. When I asked him what he was doing, he said
"simulating hail."

This babbling idiot is going to continue posting this nonsense as long
as anyone keeps responding to his nonsense. So I, for one, am just
going to stop.

In r.a.p, he's not worth the cost of the electrons to reply to. But
in rec.travel.air, he has an audience which has a large percentage of non-
pilots and his outright falsehoods need to be corrected. I missed the
cross to r.a.p or would have deleted that in my reply.

Have you only just noticed?

Everyone in r.t.a worked that out years ago.

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe.
Barbeques on fire by the chalets past the castle headland
I watched the gift shops glitter in the darkness off the Newborough gate
All these moments will be lost in time, like icecream on the beach
Time for tea.

What was the purpose of this?

What's it matter to you? You'll never fly.

How would you know?

You don't fly.

very long if you have no autopilot.


Again, you don't fly. you don't know.

Perhaps, but if they choose to listen to has babble over those of
experience pilots, there isn't anything one could do anyway. A
reasonable number of responses makes sense, but, at some point, where
he just keeps babbling nonsense it becomes a waste of time. The truth
will have already been put out and he will still be babbling.

Back in the 1930s, the British built a system of concrete "mirrors"
designed to receive and potentially triangulate the engine noises from
approaching enemy bombers approaching the Scuttled H'aisles.

The idea didn't work, so the boffins chose Radio Detection and Ranging,
better known as RADAR, for their next attempt at success, having
preliminarily abandoned the active bouncing of sound through the air as
requiring really loud "Bongs" instead of the modest whale-disenheartening
"Pings" of ASDIC/SONAR.

Not quite.

The audio ranging things were built AFTER Chain Home was started.

I used to play on one at Skipsey when I was a kid, a very odd experience if
you stood in the wrong place on the acoustic lense.

No evidence that anything electrical was ever connected to them either. No
wires, no conduits, no connections back into the bunkers behind them,
nothing...

Meanwhile both the British and the dastardly Tschermans kept
"stereoscopic" audio detectors in production and service through the early
war years, busily listening for the drone of approaching bummers.

You too may build your own RDF Loop (and those little US UHF TV antennae
work fine) and buy a receiver to listen to local airport frequencies and
plot "LOP"s for aircraft as they come and go. That's cheaper than
attempting to locate and restore a surplus Gestapo signal
detection/location truck (or one of the UK Post Office signals vans that
could pinpoint your home television set, checking the big ledger book to
see if your license had been paid - must have been very sensitive
receivers).

Every kitchen should have its own SLQ-32.....
