Hell, it's getting to the point where you can't FILL UP a second

I have to say, I couldn't have done that to that woman. I would have
told her.
Well, depending!

You know, it's uncanny. I actually started to post exactly that and
for some reason stopped and posted the stupid gas thing instead. I
would have told her as well.



I was offered a car, an old MG, by some old guy years ago.
He thought it was worth a few hundred. The car was perfect, though it
had been sitting, and easily worth 10 grand even then ( MGA twin cam) I
told him to take it to an auction house... Poor old guy didnt have a pot
to **** in. I'm not sure where the car came from and never found out
where it went, but I hope it bought him a few comforts.
Someone bought an old Chevvy Nova off my Aunt after my uncle died. Gave
her $200 for it. Actually it wasn't old then, maybe four years old. and
it was a perfectly kept old person's car. you know the type. Easily
worth $1200 at the time. *******s!

Bertie
It's things like these that when and if they cross your path, can define
what you are to yourself all through your life.
My motto is that as long as you feel good about yourself, you've done it
right.
I sure hope this is good philosophy because if it isn't, I've lost many
a good opportunity in my life :-))

Ah, something you get that way won't give you any genuine pleasure.

I gotta agree.

I know a guy though who gets a thrill out of cheating fast food places
out of large drinks: he'll order medium, then when he gets up to the
second window (after paying) says, "You know, I really do want a
supersize drink". They give it to him on the house because it's too
much hassle to go back to the register. It makes him all giddy n
sheet.

The dude earns six figures, too.

I just don't get that.

foot to use.

The Mueller-Beggs Recovery:

1) power to idle, let go of everything, and watch the airspeed
indicator

2) if your speed is increasing, you're in a descending spiral: level
the wings and raise the nose

3) if the speed is steady, you're stalled: the rudder pedal that
offers resistance to your foot is the one to stomp.

What kind of flying are you doing where you're expecting to be letting down
w/o power?

I go to idle when I'm abreast of the touchdown point. I finish the
downwind, and fly the base and final legs, without power unless I've
goofed in turning base too late.

And that reminds me: I've often wondered how much difference it makes
if the engine is actually dead and the prop is windmilling, as opposed
to revolving at idle. If I do actually lose engine power, will I sink
more rapidly?

Far less drag on a dead prop than on the windmilling disk, but it
shouldn't matter really. On any unpowered landing you should be making
your altitude and airspeed adjustments in the approach automatically
using the sight picture the configuration of the airplane is giving you
based on the remaining geometry that you're seeing between where you are
in the approach vs where you have to be to make the landing at the spot
chosen.
Much is made of the drag factors between these two scenarios, but as it
relates to the real life situation, it's what you see vs what has to be
done that matters. All you need to be dealing with in a power off
landing is the scenario you've been given.

My Beech Sundowner has an aileron to rudder linkage. It helps
coordination, but the plane won't slip as well as a PA-28.

Ah, i didn;'t know they had that. Tripacers had it as well. Springs so you
could still cross them.

Some Sundowner owners don't know they have it. G

The springs fight the cross controlling in the slip, kinda' ruining
it.
