Harry Potter? For casting the Patronus maybe, not flying.

No.
It's a quote from an old instructor friend of mine. heard when falling
out the bottom of a failed aerobatic move :-)

Oh, well if it makes your friend better, Harry took a dump off his
broom when being chased by the Hungarian Horntail, a very acrobatic
sequence of broomstick maneuvering. Much of fit scud running.

Think of it. Full yaw, pitch and roll with no controls!

Think canard without multiple wings and roll by body English. Pitch
and yaw by "stick" pressure.lol

Seriously, there have been several projects where the broomstick was
used as a model, then a prototype, for aircraft. Jet prop of course.
Drones are RCs broomsticks with small wings.

First flights in a Long EZ felt like a broomstick. Then the builder
slapped on a new nose and a larger engine and never mentioned it to
me. The COG changed dramatically and as soon as I pushed down the
runway, I knew this was going to be a different experience.

I thought it was at least bad manners to alter kit build and design?

Tell me about it. Last canard flight ever.

The nature and openness of usenet is the best and worst thing about it.
Iit truly is one of the last true uncontrolled areas of cyberspace.

For those who like to Fly IFR or Airways and contolled VFR with flight
following in your internet experiences. Usenet will never be your cup of
tea. I like the Chaos and the sheer breadth of potential people the Old
school text groups can draw.

I'm a new pilot but I've been to and from Usenet for 15 years I come
prepared with a private reader and good kill filters. There are some
wonderful people and content and some intelligent filtering cleans it right
up. the group does seem quiet, i only see two threads running right now but
when i first logged on i saw one screamer in need of filtering now it seems
calm here.



That having been said Hi I'm Brent I'm new to the group and a new Private
pilot and New owner of a NON new plane.

C'mon Jim. be positive. It's going to get better.

I hope, but I won't hold my breath.

Perhaps the best thing to happen is to have almost 0 posts per day for a
few
months. Then, if we start coming back, perhaps everyone else will have
forgotten about this place. Then, people need to respond only to real
posts, and shun the irrelevant and obnoxious.

No, there I go dreaming, again.

The days of hanger flying here are most likely past, and has been
noted elsewhere there is very limited useful controlled cyberspace in
these newsgroups. When Jay ran a virtual hanger some time ago most
posters knew each other and that led to a mutual respect and civility.
Because social-skills deficient writers use these groups anonymously
the kinds of crap that overwhelms RAP will continue: it's become their
forum. They've succeeded. Or did they? Their audience has become
pretty small.

Maybe they haven't played this so well after all.

See you in a couple of weeks.

Maybe.

Welcome to the group Brent.
It livens up every so often and some of us are and were pilots.
