First of all, I passed over GW bridge a couple of hours before he flew
over.
Go here for an interesting concept on water ditching.

Off topic, I know but good for a morning of Minus 10 degs.

Subject: | Re: I know what a wing looks like |
Hi. I am assembling an air camper at the Ira G. Ross Aerospace museum. much of
the work was completed by a gentleman who passed away several years ago. It is
of the three piece wing design. From your description I assume yours is also.
I have the front and rear spars of the left hand wing attached to the center
section. While laying out the positions of the ribs, I found an interference of
3/8" between the flying strut attachment on the spars and Rib #8. The interference
occurs where the attachment crosses over the top of the spar. I'm wondering
if you found the same thing on your wing and what you did about it.

> Word History: "Oh yes, Mater, we had a posh time of it down there." So in Punch
for September 25, 1918, do we find the first recorded instance posh, meaning
"smart and fashionable." A popular theory holds that it is derived from the
initials of "Port Out, Starboard Home," the cooler, and thus more expensive, side
of ships traveling between England and India in the mid-19th century. The
acronym POSH was supposedly stamped on the tickets of first-class passengers traveling
on that side of ships owned by the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation
Company. No known evidence supports this theory, however. Another word
posh was 19th- and early 20th-century British slang for "money," specifically
"a halfpenny, cash of small value." This word is borrowed from the Romany word
ph, "half," which was used in combinations such as phera, "halfpenny." Posh,
also meaning "a dandy," is recorded in two dictionaries of slang, published in
1890 and 1902, although this particular posh may be still another word. This
word or these words are, however, much more likely to be the source of posh than
"Port Out, Starboard Home," although the latter source certainly has caught
the public's etymological fancy.

"Simplificate?" Reminds me of the old admonition, "Eschew obfuscation!"

Subject: | Re: Piet Ultralight? |
While that auction was still active, I sent the seller an email wondering how the
plane could make the ultralight weight limit with a full VW engine. His response
was real brief: "Read the listing."
The first two sentences of the description do in fact state what is going on: "This
craft started life as a Roger Mann designed Pietenpol Aircamper Ultralight.
But now falls under experimental catogory."
Well and good, but the title still misleading to have the titl

OK Bill, I bow to the master word geek. I myself am only an amature geek who likes
shiney things in the sun. But I had no Idea that Mater from the Cars movie
was around in 1918.

Subject: | Re: off-topic: Fairchild 51 |
Link didn't work for me.
I brought up the main page for the site and searched for Fairchild 51 but most
of the aircraft shots were of an A-10 in formation with a P-51, none of the very
few other Fairchild planes was a 51.

Sweet. I always liked that design.
The earliest of the 51's ancestors was the FC-1, originally powered by a Curtiss
OX-5:

It would seem possible to design a scaled down FC-1 powered with a Ford Model A
engine....

I loved Cars but missed the part about Mater being around in 1918. Was that from
one of the Carstoon shorts that they've been showing before feature films of
late? Mater's stories in the two I've seen were so preposterous I just about
fell out of my chair from laughing.
