Everyone should read this. It's a shame we can't use the available
technology for certified aircraft.
I say, abolish the FAA.

Dear Listers,
First let me apologize for the discontinuity of List service over the last
two days. There is a faulty transmit pair between here and the "B-Box" and
I have been having a heck of a time trying to get the phone company
motivated to fix it. I am now trying to get them to take one of the analog
phone circuits to temporary get the T1 line circuit up. They are
indicating that to repair the existing T1 circuit they must dig up a
cross-connect in the street which will require a Permit from the City! Who
knows how long that will take to complete.
For now, connectivity is intermittent, but working. Email should flow
fine, although web server access may be a little sporadic. I'm working as
hard as I can at getting the situation resolved, but with the holiday and
all, its just been a nightmare.
I will post more information as it becomes available... Again, my
apologies; I thought upgrading to a commercial-grade T1 would elevate my
connectivity issues once and for all...
Wish me luck!

Nah, we need them. They already have a lot of power. What the FAA
needs is some direction. From Congress. A mission statement, if you
will. Something that goes along the lines of:
The purpose of the FAA is to actively support aviation, in all its
varied aspects, to include, but not limited to ..... support airports
and their owners by forbidding closure without supplying services at
nearby locations, streamline paperwork requirements for modifications
and improvements on certificated aircraft by becoming proactive and
encouraging improvements, promote aviation in all it's forms by
becoming truly supportive, and change from a regulatory-enforcement
mentality to an educational mindset. Become open to realistic change
and modern technology, to encourage safety and efficiency related
research .....
Well, you get the picture. As long as it's Christmas and we dream of
Santa Claus ...... we might as well really dream!!!

Excellent questions.
The owner claims it's about 3 knots slower under the conditions I described.
We need to get with MT Prop and see if there is a real read line on the prop
or just something for the Feds to put in their two cents worth. I'd like to
get the plane to 7500 feet and put it in manual and dial out the prop to get
to 2700 rpm.
Maybe the Germans don't know that speed sells. But, then again, three
blades are sexy. Maybe they are going for the sex sells approach.
