Who/what the hell are "Gilmore Girls"?

TV show on the WB about a mother and a daughter raising each other, in a
small town - the daughter being the adult of the two.

The show's rapid-fire dialogue, mostly between mom and daughter, became its
trademark.

Well, I realize in your eyes it's not gilmore girls, but to me it beats
the hell out of most everything else on tv.


I'd watch 'How Gilmore Girls Are Made.'

I disagree, at least as regards this episode. I thought they covered
the basic processes of composite aircraft manufacturing very well,
considering the inherent limitations of the medium. I learned a bunch
of neat shmoo and squeegee techniques from watching, and I've been
doing it for a while.

Bob,

This is off the subject; however, I was looking at your recent HP-24 updates
and want to complement you of the "gear overcenter + uplock" system. It is
a major improvement to Schreder's original design. Are you also planning to
use the incorporate your gas-spring kit in the HP-24?

Thanks! I'm not sure I consider it a major improvement over the
Schreder original, since it does add a few more parts to break. But I
do think it's a tradeoff more in line with what modern pilots expect
and demand.

Yes, I'll be incorporating the gas spring I developed for the HP-18,
pretty much intact. The only difference is that I'll be putting it in
the left side gear well, since the retract drive and other bits are in
the way on the right.

Has anyone seen the show "How It's Made"? It's on the Discovery
Channel. They had a segment on Diamond Aircraft.
It was quite interesting to show the fiberglass and carbon sections
being made and then assembled. They also showed the engine install
and some avionics. Unfortunatly it was extremly short. Now I know I've
been doing it wrong. They just proved it only takes about 8 minutes to
build a plane.

Well, it's not on TV but pictures of my visit to Aviat Aviation (home
of the Husky and Pitts) in AFton Wyoming last summer are at:
