A Google Groups alternative to rec.aviation.piloting?

80 isn't all that bad for a normal takeoff in a 182. Sea Level Vy for
the airplane if I remember is right around 78kts? Been a long time :-)

Hmm ... in that case I guess I'm doing okay. I like having airspeed.

Hang in there. You're doing fine!

Well, my last 767 flight (and most 767 flights before that) ended in tragedy.
I've only managed two decent landings, and they were both autolands. It seems
that 767s just don't want to descend.

However, I just managed a very clean flight in the 182, VFR at night no less.

You panic quite easily, don't you?

Not at all.

BTW, panic in the air will kill you just as fast as panic in the water.

I'm not prone to panic in the air.

I have a friend like that, one helluva nice guy, but
he has a hard time figuring out fact from fiction,
he reads a novel and then believes it was his own
personal experience, and that becomes part of his
memory of something he actually did.
The shrinks likely have a name for that specific
syndrome. Of course everyone has an issue with
deciding fact from fiction, so I guess it's a matter
of degree.

No.

Well you must try it.
Your doing a tack with the sail fully stable suckin'
energy from the wind, cuttin' water and bouncin'
waves off the starboards, that's the sound you hear.

Next, you reverse tact and the sail flutters (stalls)

Nope, you're a dfjukktard. A sail luffing is the opposite of what a stall
is, you moron.



until re-acquistion of stability going in nearly the
opposite direction and you're still heading into the
wind, so the net motion is into the wind. Every pilot
should do that. I was on trapeze, with a good fat old
captain on the til, and me being a skinny lively bitch
loved jumped to either side of the boat, pulling the
sail to max the energy out of the wind.



Good grief, you're straight out of ALice in Wondeland, you are.

First you say you wouldn't want to be in the cockpit with a homosexual,
then you refer to yourself as a "bitch".
Very strange.

Not really, I *was* 36-26-40, didn't know that until
some fella asked me to be his best man and the
fitters couldn't believe how skinny my waist was,
doing the tux thing, man I was centered out!
My friends started calling me Katy (KT) and makin'
fun of me, but it was all in good humor.


Sorry, I was a bit premature with the Alice in Ownderland comment. We;re
into Naked Lunch territory here.

PS: Read about it.

On our boat we put the crew to the windward side to keep the mast more
vertical. We adjust the sail by pulling on the correct strings, and
it depends on the tack as to which is the lee rail going awash.

As for stalling a sail -- on a beat there's lots of flow separation on
the low pressure side of the sail, but it continues to drive the boat.
The luffing at the trailing edge just means there's marginal flow
separation there, not at the leading edge. If you want to really see a
sail stall, do a jibe, not a come about. If you don't duck you'll
learn soon enough why the part sweeping across the cockpit is called a
boom.

I may actually try creating a Google Groups piloting group as a
final experiment.

No offense (honest), but why would I want you as my moderator? I don't even
know you, and your unsolicited offer to appoint yourself does nothing to give me
confidence.

Right, that's why you've almost drowned several times when all you had
to do was relax, lean your head back, and float.

Right.

I had not been taught what to do, and in one case the surf would have made it
difficult to just lie back and float (and unnecessary, since the water was
only a few feet deep).
