What the fuck is happening to our country?

In what world is having someone with a dick walking around, changing, and showering with girls a civil right?

Pilot Zone / Re: Planes are really cool

I've owned both a Traveler and a Tiger.

Loved the responsiveness, yet stable enough for serious IFR work without undue strain.

Also love  the Tiger/Arrow comparison - very similar performance, but the Tiger does it with 20 less hp, fixed gear and a fixed pitch prop. Roy Lopresti deserves a lot of credit.

My Tiger:




Anyway, another Tiger would be on my short list if the Class 3 medical is ever expanded to include it.

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.

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. ;D

The girl tried to fight back from what I hear. Good for her!

You have got to be kidding me. Are you an anarchist?

It's been reported that there is a video of someone striking the officer.

Defying the rules, she broke her phone out in class.  It happens.  My kids have been caught doing that and suffered the consequences.  But this girl didn't put it away, and when the teacher told her to leave she said no.  The teacher summoned a member of administration who asked her to leave - she refused.  The SRO was called and he asked her to leave - she refused.

I think the officer was rough in his handling of her, but I do not see where he did anything to warrant being fired.  You simply can not have kids doing anything they want in school and defying authority.

Agreed

That would satisfy the progressives, who Hate the concept of freedom of expression whenever that freedom is exercised by those with opposing viewpoints.

I find it unbelievable that the logo  has a spinning small GA type aircraft, probably turning base to final, Way to start a forum with inflammatory
stereotypes!  >:(
