After the problem stopped being intermittent, and the failure sayed with is for a while, we got a chance to nail this down, with an extra tank sending unit to test it with.. Surprising enough, when the guage failed, the resistance was still about the same as when it was working normally. I...

A question about controlled/special-use airspace in the United States. I'm aware that the National Geospacial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) maintains a database called the US Flight Information Files (USFIF, formerly DAFIF). These files have been the primary data source for the software used in most...

Pedophiles are the new scapegoats, just as Jews were in the past. Pedo philes are innocent if they have not used force, deception, intimidation, or drugs, and if their acts have been consentual. Even then, the death penalty would be wrong. The pedophilia scare is a fake. It is not harmful. That...

When flying a plane that doesn't have a lot of climbing power, is it quicker to get to your destination if you climb at a slower rate, but faster speed? Or is it quicker if you climb faster to your altitude? For example, say I took off at sea level and want to cruise at 6,500. I don't need to be...

Anyone have anything to share (rumors, non-public info, or predictions) on what the "new" Bendix King will be? For those who are not aware, they have a full page ad in AOPA Pilot (June 2007 issue) on page 63 on this announcement scheduled for Oshkosh. IMO, they have a whole lot of catching up...

Ok, Rutan's craft went close to space. I won't argue about where "space" begins, but it's high up there, and Rutan (by which I mean his craft) is also high up there. What's the big deal? Here are my thoughts. While it's true that the basic accomplishment of this flight (suborbital, "close to...
