Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

No doubt. Another reason the money was well spent.

I saw a cockpit vid this morning of a Female Icelandic pilot and co-pilot landing a plane. I wish I could find it.

An observation and a question:

A: Icelandic female plane pilots are very attractive
B: Does bampilot06 wear make-up when he flies?

Note to self, I really need to find that video, again. I think it was on Threads.

Edit: Found it on youtube and there are numerous clips.

Four bolt seat post. I’ve long wanted to try one of those. The Campy ones are a hair on the pricey side.

I like written instructions, AND videos, but for some things, I need to see it in person. There's a method for making bowstrings called Flemish Twist. I read instructions, I watched videos, and couldn't understand it. I watched a bowyer working on one for 30 seconds and it finally made sense

yes. It’s attached the plane so if the plane bounces the “steering wheel” bounces too, plus winds hitting the control surfaces make them move as well as the whole plane is moving and you are constantly correcting the flight path all the way to the runway.
