Default HAS to be a joke

but if...

You can't just ....

no... no way if the....

I am sorry I am not willing to accept that a fellow VAF member could be this ludicrously stupid.

This is a joke.

Its a good one, well done, not something I ever would have thought of, very original :-)

I've read somewhere there is a mod for the position lights and strobes. It merges the two functions and provides pilot control to activate just one side or the other by use of a long toggle switch.

So John...

Ya know, gas pedal on the right is pretty logical...after all, you need right rudder on TO, right? I'll bet that baby really wraps up in spins to the right too, eh! Turning off the right side of the runway gets pretty sporting too...hmmm.

And if you're really evil, you could swap the functions of the pedals as an emergency procedure!

Got any pictures or a schematic of the brake line Ts?

Not quite 4/1 here yet either...but I tried the Fred Flinstone mod...the holes in the floor so I could yell "yabba dabba do" and paddle away with my feet. But dog-gone these HRII struts on my 6, I can't reach the ground...now what am I gonna do? All those visions of getting on a treadmill and seeing if it would fly...dashed due to short legs!

Cheers,
Bob

Default April 1st

Special thanks and apologies to all who help with my April 1 dilemma. Posting early didn?t seem to fool many of the problem solving design engineers.
What an amazing group we are! I especially like those who as delicately as possible wanted to ask, ? By any chance, did you hit your head something??
Straight and level, John
