Re: A Great Time in Dayton Hello all , Julianna and I had a wonderful time - sorry to have missed the last couple. Meeting all my Commander 112, 114 & 115 including Hot Shot buddies was wonderful and coming to know the new ones was an expansion because coming is like going to a family reunion...

Re: Who can identify this? Its a beauty made by then Consolidated Aircraft San Diego who also made the B-24. A Canadian Catalina spotted the Bismark in May 1940 and reported its position when the Royal Navy lost it after it had sunk the RN's battle cruise HMS Hood. The pilot was an American...

Re: Fredericksburg fly-in events Sounds fab and among the cool stuff lets not forget the bat mobile

Re: The "Ultra" Commander Test Flight How much advertising did you put on the Flight Aware websites to get these results in speed & altitude?

Re: Upcoming UK grad school Oh BB be sure to visit in summer so you get a tatse of the rivalry of ages The Ashes cricket series - England v/s Australia. Its much older than the Ohio State v/s Mich football games or even Army Navy! I'm sure there'l be locals who'd intro you to the nuances of...

Re: Upcoming UK grad school BB perhhaps you should visit the UK fly-in and directly ask the participants and thus get the inside scoops. I am sure this is a good enough reason for your hoe and work authorities to accept this trip as legit. :<)

Re: UK Commander Get Together 2013 Ken I am sure you're not suggesting that with Tesco they can all horse around! Opps sorry fellows something came over me to say that. I hope all have a wonderful Fly-in of good cheer and also of good tech tips especially with Jim Richards and Mike Perry...

Re: Air Chart systems I'd also say WIng X Pro has an edge because its multi platform. Its also quite good. Like ForeFlight it has ADS-B-In tie in for traffic & weather. I'd recommend it In case you'll didn't know the source for the digital map data for WIng X, Fore Flight and many others is...

Re: Air Chart systems Damn I didn't like that news either - the company owner told me @ Oshkosh this might happen. I love the Air Chrts system and have bought the WAC & IFR atlases of thewhole country each in one book to have a very convineient package good for 1 year and no need to go looking...

Re: New Shimmy Dampners Another pilot technique that helps the nose gear: Hold it off Yoke back all the way after landing Hold it back even after the Nose Gear is on the ground this keeping wt off nose gear when speed is highish. This helps in the caster dynamics. I've noted some commander...

Re: New Shimmy Dampners Jim I agree never over-torquing, just exact torque and good non loose stuff. Agree with your reccomendations.

Re: New Shimmy Dampners Hi Jim I wonder if the torque on the bolts/nuts of the nose gear leg were all kept in proper torque through frequent inspections THEN would the need for damping be less and hence the damper last longer? I realize tthe correct torque would eliminate "end play" but...

Re: The Perfect Winter Night Hey Lonnie a thought get the aviation lawyers out and lets tie them up in a debate on what is lift and does the upper surface suction contribute more lift or does lower surface pressure create more lift. This would be important for teh Tax computation formula.

Re: Whoo Hooo: Crosswinds! My thoughts - 1st Shearman very correct both experience and currency are vital. 2nd Before you start the T-O roll be sure airleron is fully cranked into the wind to yoke stops and hold it there as you roll forward with full rudder. Pitch is less important than these...

Re: Whoo Hooo: Crosswinds! Guys I agree with Shearman & Scott I use teh crab approach rather than the slip although if pilots are more slip comfy by all means do so I've used it in the Commander & it works fine. My only difference is I use fuill flaps almost always just so I have the minimum...

Re: Bird Strike Glad you're fine DD scary isn't it. Carbine did you do your duty and report the Gees to the FAA - betcha geese were at 10,000 or above they didn't have transponders on nor had they filed to fly at an IFR altitude.
