Re: Float Plane Takeoff from Concrete Runway

Yes and airlines are also supposed to have backup generators, but Delta apparently doesn't. Their computers were down all day yesterday. Come on, work with me here instead of picking nits to show how smart you are :) Things happen. A sudden gust of wind from the wrong direction? Blow that plane off ...

Re: Float Plane Takeoff from Concrete Runway

Nothing but gravity holding the plane to the trailer. A bump in the runway or an unexpected gust of wind from the wrong direction prior to the pilot being ready for take off would not be a good thing as far as this non-pilot can figure.

Gene, I would use my breaker as the switch and not even touch the cords!

Re: A neat little trick

Thanks Gene. That should work well for gluing sandpaper down to my granite slab for use in sharpening chisels and plane irons. I'll have to give it a try.

Re: Check Your Bank Statements Regularly

Great concept one that should be implemented across the board. I agree Ed. Even gmail offers it. Someone can get into a lot of mischief if they can access your email. It's probably not a bad idea to give it a try if you use gmail. Even if you don't use gmail it's free to set up an account and try i...

Re: Check Your Bank Statements Regularly

No, I don't think the two are related. Good points Dusty and you've probably gotten to the bottom of it, but I find the coincidence troubling. You are absolutely correct about checking your bank statements regularly. And not just banks, any account. It's your number one defense against fraud and id...
