Hit that house from 20 yards yet?

Stand right over here and we'll see....

It's amazing how many schizophrenics (those who 'deny' objective reality)
won't volunteer to stand in front of an onrushing train to prove their
point.

Umm..ok..?

Sorry, a little too obtuse for me at the end of a day...

So, you read an amazon rview of a book and you are an expert? Explains
an awful lot about why you say theh things you do..

Thought I'd poke my head into this post.... Rod's book is a fine one,,,,
and his Instrument Pilot manual (the version intended to fully prepare an
instrument pilot,,, not his first instrument publication which was only
intended as a supplement only to other books and training) are books I don't
hesitate to recommend. He really hangs a little too long with his water
analogy of electricity (i.e., I think at some point he could use his analogy
to transition the reader into a working understanding of electrical
current). Aside from the latter,,, fine book! It's in my library!

I have just received a copy of Rod Machado's Private Pilot Handbook Second
Edition from the publisher to review.

I haven't had a chance to read all of it yet, but just from what I've seen
thus far, I have no doubt whatsoever that I will be recommending this book
as a study manual to all student pilots.

This hard cover top quality heavyweight glossy paper
manual is the most well written and comprehensive work I have ever seen
done by anyone in the industry.

Throughout my career as a CFI I have always used and recommended Bill
Kershner's fine manuals, and these are still fine books today.
But what Rod has done with his books is absolutely amazing. The
presentation is not only accurate, but done with the "average person" and
"everyday pilot" in mind. Rod takes the most complicated of issues and
presents them intelligently and with a splash of humor that is
unbelievably educational. The drawings and graphics are exceptional.
I can't stress enough my positive opinion of this book.

Ohm my!! Watt did you say? Shocking; simply shocking!! :-))

Explaining electricity to the layman can indeed be a true test of one's
ability to improvise with explanation. Even today, after years of
dealing with this wonder of science, I STILL find electricity
fascinating and interesting.
The water analogy has been around a while for sure. Personally I prefer
the pool balls in the pipe :-))

Funny, Ron tells stories of when he and a friend were in firefighting
training (both EE's) and after a while they looked at each other and
jokingly said "hey, it's just like electricity!".

Our son, also an EE, likes the hose analogy too.
