You crazy ultralight flyers! ;-)

How in the world were you able to get 10' above the trees and still remain
5' or less above the ground?

Inquiring minds want to know!

Can I have your tools after you kill yourself?

You people are so damned queer.

Well, I fly all the time. Sometimes I use an airplane. And I'm always
in a fog.

Within the limits of my modest resources, I do.

Fortunately, I did not have a simulator I might pretend as real

of someones (how pompous!) on the internet for free instruction.

Odd that anyone would see questions as harassment. The only time I
encounter that is when people don't know the answers to the questions,
and dread anyone else finding that out.

There are some excellent authors, both book and magazine, who are
quite public and not expensive. AND there are some excellent web
sites which also have good info and make an effort to not be so dry.

I do research.

But written materials can be held in hand and pondered at your own
pace. The web is too brief, and cluttered; as is this news group, for
that matter.

The Web, however, is free.

No, you do not. The information that answers to your question conclusively
is available for free, and you have been pointed to it numerous times,
now. That you have not availed yourself of those resources exposes your
real purpose here.

Oh your so modest. You must pat yourself on the back for it every
day.

But I suspect you may have burden you 'care' to 'share'. You really
(yes, REALLY!) should rid yourself of all those pet dogs eating at
your household budget. And the technique for doing that is putting
them 'to sleep'. 'Putting them away' is what we call it on the farm,
as we load the most convenient weapon. Send them this way and that is
what they'll get; not the pity of one with "modest resources", but the
conviction of one who knows what to do with what is obvious Trouble.

A lame lie, lame insult.

Then apply it, if you're so capable.

Have you no shame? It is apparent that you do not, while working so
hard to pretend you do; thinking to get away with it by the pity of
'modest resources'. You, and the rest of your noisy group intent on
noise, are 'modestly' evil. You are not what you claim to be.

Are you gathering bunches of undigestable tidbits to send to Africa or
something? Such will NOT save mankind. No one ever said they would.

Something is VERY out of perspective!

Mxsmanic,

If you don't know the answer, you can save your time and not mine by
skipping the reply.


If you would take the effort to find the answer yourself in the sources
given to you many times in this group, you can save your and our time.
