Are there any shift pattern "plates" available that display our 914 shift pattern?
I have the 917 wood knob...In the rare event i may leave my car with a valet or let a hot chick try to drive it they don't know the pattern. Maybe somebody can create a small plate (group buy?) with an engraved pattern that can be mounted to the dash? Any ideas? |

Im sure you could , except fuel guage Years ago, aircraft instrument panels were standardized to what was eventually called a "six Pack". You could go from one model airplane to another and still pretty much expect the flight instruments to be in the same position relative to each other. Even the new "glass cockpits" have the flight instruments in the same configuration. My airplane doesn't have any flight instruments 'cause nobody pays me to fly in bad weather anymore.

So to be instruments rated
You mainly just use the 6pack And i thought even if you fly in good weather or visual flight Rules That the fog could roll in And you will need instrument flying to survive And was roy hollidays plane a bad design since it encourages A pilot to push or fly to the edge of the envelope more |

And was roy hollidays plane a bad design since it encourages A pilot to push or fly to the edge of the envelope more Just like JFK Jr. Mr. Halladay was a very low hour pilot flying a airplane that was beyond there skill level which in both cases over confidence led to fatal decisions. JFK not being IFR rated to which his airplane was equipped for and who was flying at the limits of if not beyond VFR. Roy Halladay was show boating going from several 100 feet above the water down to 5 feet above the water. |

Roy Halladay was show boating going from several 100 feet above the water down to 5 feet above the water. I cannot say exactly but from what i hear John jr . (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif) was in a hurry (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif) very bad for flying (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif) had a swollen sprained ankle (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif) Was flying at night Was flying compared to his old plane and level of experience A Hot ship """"""" Was told bad weather comin by other guys at airport who canceled their flight that day Did not file a flight plan Was not instrument rated Turned down the offer of a experiened instrument rated pilot at the airport Offer to go with him as help to fly just in case Sat in front of plane alone no one to help him keep track of things With all that working against him before the wheels up You have to wonder if he even had a 50% chance of making it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif) THE holliday crash i dont know much about But if he was flying straight lines I'm sure it would be much safer Then flying stunts ,aerobatics high g pullouts being (verner voss) Would you do what he was doing if your flying the spruce goose I doubt it , But coolest thing in the world would be to get two of these litlle Sea plane 1 seaters and flying around doing acm mock combat Id pay big money to do that I'm sure it would be very fun and very dangerous |
