Boarding with engines running

Kobra,

Please take a few to go back over the history of MX in this forum
before you judge us as harsh.

Many people on this forum, including myself, went out of our way to to
give him lucid, complete answers and be very polite when he first came
to this forum. Even after his questions became incessant, the forum
continued to answer, figuring that the responses would make for good
'search fodder' at some point in the future.

Unfortunately the level of posting continued to increase, and more
frustratingly, he very quickly began a habit of arguing with the
answers he did not agree with. So many of his questions could be
answered by a quick, one hour demo ride, but he outright refused to
consider it, and instead started to get very condescending towards us
when we did not immediately answer his questions (as you can see from
this post, our unwillingness to immediately answer his question and
suggesting he look up the very basic answer via Google leads him to
suggest that 'Tin Can' pilots are obviously inferior to those on the
'sim' forum this forum referred him too).

And at this point, yes those who still post in response to him are
very puerile... the simple fact is we're sick of it. We're sick of
his incessant opinion on every matter (despite his admitted lack of
experience), we're sick of his temper tantrums when we ask him to
please be more polite, we're sick of hearing about how much better his
sim-ing experience is than our actual flying, how dangerous actual
flying is, how worthless reality is, how immature and 'thrillseeking'
real life pilots are... but for some reason he still insists on asking
for our input on EVERYTHING...

The other thing I would suggest is that you go ahead and google MX...
He came to RAP after being driven away from the simulator forums (for
similar behavior). In fact, if you look at his history of posting,
you'll find he has a tremendously arrogant, puerile streak which
quickly drives all of the forums he participates in crazy...

Its a shame, I for one feel kinda bad for him... (I suspect he's just
an adolescent or suffers from Asperger's Syndrome). I think you'll
find most of us have no problem with his striving for realism in his
simming, most of us wouldn't even mind the questions (If he'd at least
be willing to check out and read up on stuff on his own).

Its the attitude that's just worn the patience of this board thin...

I consider a
requirement that one be in Olympic condition to get a license to be an
unnecessary burden.

Olympic condition???
He should see some of the pilots we have out at the local airport. One
has to crawl up the wing (low wing aircraft) to get in the door.

I don't know if you're joking or not, but I really did watch one guy who had
to back off a couple of steps and achieve some momentum to climb onto the
wing of a Comanche.

For once, I managed to watch with a straight face.

Peter :-)

Nomen,

This has to be one of the funniest things I've read. You are the Winner!

Now I've seen part of the thread that asks MX Lunatic to leave and go back
to the sim newsgroup. No thanks, they dont want him there either. He was
kicked out of that also as well as the other aviation newsgroups. He just
refuses to leave.

In my case, I consider going to and from the airport to be boring.

Translation: I can't afford a car

I consider
not being close to home at the end of a flight to be hugely inconvenient.

Translation: I have chronic diarrhea




So you are a thrillseeker. Quite a few GA pilots seem to be
thrillseekers.
But we know what the safety experts say about them, don't we?

Translation: I'll be happy as a pig in **** if one of you folks die in
a plane crash.

In my view, if my pulse is racing and I'm sweating, I've failed as a
pilot.

Translation: My pulse races and I sweat when I try to get out of a chair.

Hope this helps.

Not really. When the plane only has 600 pounds useful load, and you
weigh nearly 300, there isn't much left over for the instructor and fuel.

You're describing a Cessna 150. We had one instructor and student who
weighed enough together that they could only put a bit less than half

That's why I trained in a Warrior. The useful load was closer to 850 lbs.

I started in a Piper Colt many...many...many...well you get the idea
but then a wife, two kids and a new home in the country came along. I
didn't fly from about 63 or so until 87 when we made a few flights in
a 150, but I joined in a partnership on a Cherokee 180 before I
soloed. I did all of my cross country work except for one trip in the
Cherokee and put well over 300 hours on it before purchasing the Deb.

The Cherokee is nice and stable while the 150 is like riding a cork on
a rough pond. :-)) However the Deb is really spacious compared to the
Cherokee. The seats are up high much like chairs and the feel is
quite different.

No, I'm not joking. However it's not completely a weight problem
although that's a good portion of it. He basically grabs the door
frame and pulls himself up into a position where he can get in. If he
ever got into the Deb I'm afraid we'd have to lift him out as he just
doesn't have the mobility.

With that much heft I'd be afraid they might miss the wing walk way
once they got up some momentum.

OTOH I've seen some guys who could be pro football players for size
get into a Cherokee 6 and Dakota without a problem. OTOH they not only
were big, they were in pretty good shape.

I took one guy over 280 in the Cherokee 180 with no problem although
I wasn't expecting the nose to drop like that when I pulled the power
on final :-)) (We were within CG even though he told me he only
weighed 240):-))

Didn't do nothing, couldn't steer it couldnt even throw things off to hit
people or birds. LOL

In that case you've never flown a real plane much. :-))



I'm beginning to have doubts if he's even been ON one, probably took QM-2
over to Paris...
Or a hot air ballon, with organically generated hot air - oh no, that'd be
too exciting for the poor dear.........
d:-))

yea I fergit about that LOL

Hey Roger, I hear FCC has gutted the CW code to get a ham license for all
claasses effective Feb 23'rd '07
Can you give us the lowdown

That's why I like to fly a 747-400. The useful load is a little over 450,000
lbs.

I'll take a real Warrior over a fake 747 any day of the year. At least
when I fly somewhere, when I get out of the plane I'm really there, not in
a pathetic little ******** in Paris.

Heck, I even offered to mail him a stack of expired VFR and IFR charts,
as well as approach plates and AF/D's. G

Lots of us tried...
