[COUPERS-FLYIN] angle or repose

[Dr. Cyrus Wood-Thomas]

I'll try this question again as no one answered it yet:  what is the glide ratio on these planes? Can't be worse than a Lake. And I wonder what angle does that ratio work out to be? That math is easy enough. What is the numerical value of the angle of 'repose'?  (that's the angle from the ground up the angle of the slope of the cone formed by any substance poored into a pile)  In other words when the angle gets flat enough nothing more can roll down and when it gets steep enough things will roll down.  The happy medium is the angle of repose. The angle of most mountains are at the angle of repose, right? When mountains erode over eons do they end up at the angle of repose?

The finesse comes when you think the FAA might deny you but you think, and your doctor thinks, that you are adequately safe.

Understand.  However, my medical specialty is alternative health care (which shouldn't be called 'alternative' because it's just simply smart! and non drug oriented) so I think I'll do my own pre-medical and write my own non-pharmaceutical prescriptions.  I'm lucky, I know what to do.  Like a cabinet maker building a wooden plane!

Keep in mind motorgliders. With them, you have all the privileges of a private pilot and a couple more but self-certify your medical condition. Ed Burkhead

I've heard motorgliders are the safest flying machines there are.  25 mph in the rain would be difficult though, San Francisco to San Diego!!  Actually I was ready to take my first flight in one once when it began to rain and the instructor cancelled.  That said something of their utility.
