In a perfect world...

(Borrowing from lkeele and crazyladynocats)

In a perfect world:

• No one would ever make a large sacrifice on my behalf, for which I did not ask and of which I remained unaware, then expect me to feel grateful or to reciprocate
• Women's pants could be bought by the numbers: waist, hip, inseam
• Personal growth would be like debugging software: finding the problem is the hard part
• No one would be stupid enough to buy dry-clean-only clothes, so manufacturers would focus on making washable ones
• Calling oneself a vegetarian, much less a vegan, if one eats fish and/or chicken would be grounds for a beating (not the good kind)
• Speed limits would be per-driver: if you KNOW the position and relative speeds of everyone around you, you get +10mph
• I could afford a Pitts

Just had to throw in that last one.

Hey, that's all I am, too. Plus PP-Glider, which isn't really applicable. No new checkrides required. Just that high-performance signoff (which I don't have, YET) and taildragger (which I do). I'd really really recommend spin training before soloing. D@#$ thing will spin if you just look at it funny.

Spin training before taildraggers, or high-performance? I'd expect the latter because of the increased engine torque (more rudder needed, I would expect) but I haven't flown either. Or a biplane...

Oh sorry, nah, just before the Pitts. Or before any seriously aerobatic muscle plane. Of course, I like recommending spin training just because spins are FUN. Inverted flat ones are really fun. The horizon just... it just... it shouldn't DO that.

Oooh, that sounds like fun! (admiring glance)

*bouncebouncebounce* It's cool! *bounce* It's like being in one of those beautiful fancy rotating restaurants at the top of a tall building, with the whole of creation going round before your eyes... only sped up 1000X and upside down. :-)

D@#$, I gotta get back in the air.

(envy) I've only had basic spin training, nothing inverted....

Hope that your hot tub rotated as well this afternoon :-).
