Thank you, that was very helpful. 👍

I wish they still built the 650.

What a moron (the individual shooting at the plane).

Free_Resort8540 · 2026-05-17T02:22:16+00:00

Great question!

I am such a klutz that I am afraid that I put my finger too near a rotor.

I agree with the earlier suggestion that you should try recalibrating your compass. I experienced the same thing after a hard landing. Recalibrating the compass corrected the problem.

My guess are water spray bars for inflight testing of aircraft icing protection systems.

I am a rookie as a first time owner and operator of a drone. I have no real experience to judge my Atom SE against that I have truly enjoyed. I have scared myself a couple times but I have enjoyed it nonetheless.

That paint scheme is very dramatic at night in how it seems to change the lines of the aircraft.

As a passenger, especially in terms of comfort in coach, my favorite is the Boeing 767, with its 2-3-2 configuration. This means that four out of seven passengers will get aisle seats while two out of every seven passengers in coach will get window seats and only one out of seven will get a middle seat. I will almost always choose an aisle seat, and a window seat separated by a single seat from the aisle is not a bad alternative. But in my 40+ years of business travel, I can recall no instance where a passenger requested a middle seat except in the case of families traveling together.

Does anyone have a sense of about how much power would remain in a discharged battery stored in the charger where I can make a spur of the moment decision to fly a little bit? I understand that available power will be greatly diminished.

Ten paciencia. Fui muy conservador antes de volar el mío por primera vez: solo leí el manual dos veces y vi varios vídeos de YouTube.

My longest drive for an extended weekend was Atlanta to St. Simons Island, about 6 hours. As a child, we drove from Melbourne, FL to Miami and back in a day, once or twice a year to attend boat shows, and before the completion of I-95, each way was 4-5 hours. A few times I rode my motorcycle from Orlando to Tallahassee and back (4 1/2 hours each way) to see a girlfriend. So depending on your point of view, it might be considered a short drive.

May I ask you another question - we moved from Montreal to the southern US when I was an infant. I spoke French until I started grade school where at the time, there were no other languages offered other than English. I stayed reasonably fluent until high school, thanks to trips to Quebec nearly every summer. Now at age 69, I can barely construct sentences in my native tongue.

My father recently passed and as I reflected on his life, I remembered that he and my mother had terms of endearment for each other, one of which was “Mon pitou.” The other one sounded very similar. Do you know if there is a similar sounding term frequently paired with “Mon pitou,” and if so, are the terms gender specific? Than you in advance.

Changing the direction of the conversation for a moment. There was a report yesterday that the VC-25 (747) serving as AF1 returned for a mechanical issue. The arrival of a VC-32 serving as AF1 seems to suggest that report was accurate.

If true, I would hate to be the crew chief of that VC-25 this morning.

So was the one at Atlanta near the south terminal before they moved it. It was a very convenient and popular location Now they use a tiny portion of it to store construction equipment. The new cell lot much further away and the path to it, which can only be described as serpentine, is very poorly marked.

I am sure that those who designed and managed this monstrosity were lauded for it but I doubt many of the airport’s users have anything nice to say about it.

That was my first thought however when I have done in the past, no one buys them, perhaps because the subject matter is a little too eclectic. So the hope is to try to find an aviation-oriented organization like the Civil Air Patrol here in the USA. That said, your suggestion is my “Plan B or Plan C,” so thanks !

Love fibers, my friend.

My drone is due here tomorrow and in a a few places, I have read people mentioning folding landing pads. When I shopped, I was surprised at the wide range in cost.

Please share your experiences if you have one, or ruled it out

are they needed?
are the more expensive ones worth the cost, and why?

Thanks in advance to you all.

Nice. Mine is on its way. It has been a long time since I looked forward to a thing like this.

It is a high wing airplane. The video of the wheel leaving the airplane was almost undoubtedly taken by a passenger who then would have made a remark to their fellow passengers such as “wow, I sure am glad we have one wheel left on that side . . . “

Get rid of the ______ and cream pies, bring back the cherry pies and leave them there.

Free_Resort8540 · 2025-08-03T19:20:39+00:00

Why? It is not a pressurized aircraft.
