Of course, I still have hopes for Skylune becoming a pilot -- so I
*am*
an eternal optimist!

:-)

.........and don't forget; the day he gets his license, we all chip in
and
get him a membership in AOPA!!!


Does he need his license first?

Not really, but wouldn't the proper thing to do on such a momentous
occasion
as getting his license be to present him with a membership in the very
organization that has occupied his every thought both awake and asleep for
such a long............looooooooooong time :-))

But I don't want to wait. I'd like to get him a membership now.

It would be best if it were paid for by Phil Boyer himself.

OOPS! WOT is harder on the engine.

Not according to Tornado Alley Turbo, the manufacturers of my
turbo-normalization system, it's not. In fact, running less than WOT
during cruise is discouraged by TATurbo:

In the article, scroll down to the "Lean of Peak Cruise Operation of the
Turbonormalized (TN) IO-520/550" paragraph and read tips 3 and 4.

That applies to Turbo'd engines, but this is more specific:

(Note: This written was before Deakin added the TN to his Bo.)

The first line of the number 3 bullet point reads:

"Every internal combustion engine operates more efficiently with the
throttle wide open, than any other position."

My interpretation of "Every internal combustion engine" includes both turbo
and non-turbo piston engines.

Ask Phil to sign a color 8x10 glossy of himself - "To Skylune -
Congratulations! Thanks for your unwavering support" or something like
that.

Try not to wet yourself from laughing too hard. : )

Grumman-581,

Actually, he is an American living in Paris, from what someone posted.
And what's worse about it? At least it's a country that's got its
war-going priorities right.

If you mean letting others fight its wars, then I agree.

And surrender isn't exactly a war-going priority. But when you are good at
something I guess it makes sense to use it as often as possible.
