    Yes sir, that 3rd class medical is a great safety tool!
    Heard on the news this morning of a ATP dying in flight.
    The co-pilot was a better safety alternative.

    Some time ago I watched a video promoting a device developed for amphibs that seemed to reverse the prop rotation. I assumed it was for braking or maneuvering from a dock. I didn't think it to be very practical.

    Congratulation on the culmination of your dream! That is the path I had hoped to take but I obtained my bird first. I full well understand your desire to take care of the things that just bug you.

    Turn the phone up-side-down?   Actually, I have a LG G2 running 5.0.2. I sometimes have to rotate the photo using the options available when the photo is on-screen. The option is: "Rotate".

    Must be a "form letter" response.
    Nearly identical to the one I received from my Senator

    Thanks Ed for bringing up the "then and now" wage point. I sometimes reflect on what things used to cost. Anyone look at the report social security sends about your "contribution" to them, (or us ED?)?     Pretty shocking! OK, I got that out of my mind...
     
    I think most of the younger drivers prefer to be able to get to their destination as fast and comfortable as they can. When I bought my 2 it fit perfectly for what I envisioned as my "mission", what I want to do, perfectly. I doubt I will ever xcountry more than 500-1000 SM to visit one of my daughters. I do not regret it for one minute. Actually you guys have reinforced my reasoning about buying what I did. I don't get that feeling over on the "dark side" site.   I particularly appreciate those of you here who manufacture what you need when possible. That has always been my mantra. If precision machines were available to me, I would also. I have already experienced great satisfaction working on little things that I want to address before taking to the sky.
     
    After all, they are merely simple enjoyable machines.

    I always find it difficult to follow the posters train of thought.
    I suppose if I was intaxicated while reading, it would all make perfect sense.
