I'm not quite sure I understand this remark. Could you possibly be more
explicit?

Dud, that is what is commonly know as a "pot shot" and is typical fare for
Matt.

Consider the source, and take it for what it is worth.

That's how I read it. I just can't figure out why he would want to take it.

I took a J3 all the way down the East coast to Key West once. Lowered
the side door panel and flew the beaches down low. At Hilton Head I
throttled back and traded "hello's" with a young couple on the beach as
I went by.
Man, you can't BUY those days again :-))

You can still do it. Some guys still do! I still fly little ones (well, not
lately, but when I get the contraption in the shed finished I will)
Great fun though. I remember flying my T-craft right over the top of PHL,
no radio, watching the jet airliners taking off underneath me. (dating
myself now)

Neat little bird that T Craft. Could float a bit for the guys coming out
of a J3 into it for the first time :-)
I still believe the only thing that ended Duane Cole's run in
competition was the low power factor on his clipped wing T Craft. He
just couldn't get the vertical performance he needed to stay
competitive, but his air show work was absolutely amazing in that little
bird.

Yeah, I've always hankered after a clipped t-craft. He's still the best
I've ever seen. Had a few a-65 powered airplanes over the years and
that was one of the best. Loved my Luscombes the best, though.

The 8A was a fine airplane....strong too. Snapped like a Pitts :-))

!!! Not any Pitts I flew! Not unless you enterd at a fairly high speed,
anyway.
They weren't as strong as their reputation would lead you to believe,
though. A number of ADs over the years make me cringe when I think of what
I used to do in my old pre war ragwing model 8 (it wasn't even an 8a,
though it had been converted to 65 HP when I got it) Quick though, and very
satisfying to fly. I'd still loop and barrel roll one even as old as they
are, though.. No snap manuevers, though!

Because RST/Jim, like Morgans, learns next to nothing from anybody.

RST/Jim is pretty knowledgeable, but blockheaded beyond belief FWIS.

I recall several posts that other knowledgeable types have tried pointing
things out to him so clearly that his not making the connect was
astonishing. It seems you're just another in line.

It's amazing how many people "have been doing this for 40 years", and they
can't stand to find out that it's WRONG.

delighted in explaining to colleagues, which they have proudly taught to
others, and which they have woven, thread by thread, into the fabric of
their lives." - Tolstoy


OTOH, Morgans is just a half-wit punk whose total capacity is merely barfing
back something shoved down his throat. When someone points it out, he runs
home to mommy.
