Im pretty decent at sketching planes if thats all you want. If your talking about professional design drafting, sorry, dont do that. My emails activated if you want to send me something, and Ill scan you back a sketch.

Care to explain that one?

Is the US economy doing good now that the US has a republican president? Did the economy pick up with Clinton after the Reagan/Bush Sr years?

I happen to believe that democrats have been responcible for all the prosperity and good that is in the US. But I have to agree with your assessment of Kerry, hes a “dangerous” democrat, and lacks any personal values. The type who will do anything for gain.

Ill bet you didnt make it past one of these in your record setting runs

VW car engine, and your going to get an empty weight of 400 lbs? I dont think so. An even in a full size spitfire, you need a shoehorn to fit the pilot into the cockpit. In a half size replica you are going to have to wided the fuselage considerably which is going to make your spitfire look more like a YAK-1.

From a veterinary point of view, the German Shepherd is a wreck. They are prone to hip dysplasia (an inherited malformation of the ball and socket joint of the hip, in some cases the “socket” part is not there, rendering the dog severely lame).

Ive heard the reason german shepherds have this problem is because they are bred to have the height of the hind legs lower than the front legs, purely for looks.

Which brings me back to one of my previous posts which didn’t trigger a response from anyone much to my surprise.

As I firmly believe that sin recovery should still be part of tthe PPL sylabus I feel that any aircraft certified as a trainer should be cleared for deliberate spinning. This would save the expense of doing the spin recovery exercise on an aerobatic aircraft, which all the local FTOs charge more per hour for

I totally agree with you here, there should be a light aircraft designed specifically to be a trainer. Not neccesarily have aerobatic ability, buy simply have safe flying characteristics in all flight regimes be it in normal flying speed, slow flight, in stalls, spins, etc. (I even started a thread on the topic of what is the “perfect trainer” here a while back which was not responded too and eventually deleted)
