I'll hold my nose and vote for the Hildebeast for two reasons.  The first is I think she'd actually make an impressive POTUS.  All these guys lie their heads off, so I'm not that worried about that.  The second is if she does become POTUS its going to be so fun listening to you guys bitch about it!

So you are OK with Hillary's stated polices of more, and more entlitelment programs administered by are oh so efficient Federal Goverment, and higher, and higher taxes.  She kept one upping Bernie Sanders dduring the "debate", and he advocates a 90% income tax rate!

Amazing isn't it?  Man Made Global Climate Change is the biggest hoax ever.  Governments, and politicians figured out that just taxing people more may be unpopular so they thought up a "good" reason to confiscate even more money from the productive.  Let's SAVE THE PLANET!  Then they got a bunch of useful idiots to believe in this goofy religion.

I agree with what you said, but the question was specific to Grumman flying.  I've heard that it can get away from you as it's not a fly by feel airplane.  Or maybe I have been misinformed???

Tigers, Cheetahs, and Travelers are docile airplanes although they do have better control response, and are lighter on the controls.  Tigers and Cheetahs are pretty slick for a fixed gear plane, so will float if you come in hot.  If you don't display good speed control, and try to force it down onto the runway you can get into pilot induce oscillation.  The cure to that is to just hold it off if you have enough runway, or just go around. 

The two seat AA1 (original slick wing) demand speed control also, and you don't want to get behind the power curve on these low, and slow as they will break pretty quickly, without too much warning.  The later AA1A, AA1B, and AA1C have a different wing but still require discpline in speed control, but give you a bit more margin.  They don't "get away from you" unless you either don't have training in them or just not flying them properly, but they are not any more dangerous than other planes if you fly them like they should be flown, and learning that is not difficult.

Does that apply to all those game shows as well?  Probably even mores, since I imagine there are more reasons to watch Ellen deGeneres than to see her give away stuff.  If nothing else, she's way better looking than Drew Carry.

Not a big game show fan nor Ellen (far left progressive) fan.  However, last time I checked you had to COMPETE for prizes on game shows, stuff wasn't just given away randomly like on Ellen.  My wife LOVES Ellen, and watches her also. 

Those moderators thought they were so smart and mug, until the candidates returned fire! And those questions...fantasy football? For realz?

I do think the candidates did a nice job of further outing the mainstream medias liberal/progressive bias.

I've heard that the retract gear on this airplane was not necessary for efficient flight just a training aid for pilots. The picture may bear this out. Looks like it retracts just enough for a prop strike.

True - it is primarily for training value and brings only a small reduction in drag. 

The prop is wood core covered in fiberglass and designed to shatter to prevent engine damage.

The Russian design is extremely clever, lots of other neat little details - for example, the landing gear overcenters are designed such that if one collapses it overloads the other two so they cannot collapse. 

Also, the outboard aileron hinge bracket is mounted just low enough to keep wing structure from touching the ground if either main gear collapse.

The Yak is an amazing machine, love flying it.

'Gimp

I really like hearing about your Yak, and the CJ-6's.  Great info.  I'd love to have one but doubt I can swing it, well maybe someday.

I don't know about now, but when I was in England back in the seventies you could not say anything bad about the Queen in public or the bobbies might rap you on the head and cart you away.

So we don't have it all that bad.

Yet.

I find myself being VERY careful about what I say against the government on the internet, cellphones, and even land lines.  I do not trust my own government anymore, especially with my political leanings.  Look what happened at the IRS, EPA, NSA etc.  Government agencies with a poltical bias being used to punish conservatives, and/or spy on people.  It is starting to feel like Nazi Germany (Gestapo), or the Soviet Union (KGB).

I'm offended!!!
