Back in the '80s a pilot said that the reason homebuilts have so many accidents 
is because the flying speed is so close to the stall speed. 
Is that true, and if so, is the situation better nowadays?

Re: [MBZ] 78 300CD

[Curley McLain via Mercedes]

Gullah Bier, beef tacos, Grits bowl!  The world's best biscuit, getting 
chauffeured around in a Mercedes Benz, and Benzing with good guys!   It 
was a great time.



Buggered Benzmail via Mercedes 
January 5, 2020 at 5:36 PM
Thanks to the efforts of Curley and Max and an afternoon Benzing, we 
got new brake calipers and pads all around on the CD that has been in 
the barn waiting for awhile. I still need to bleed them a bit, pedal 
was spongy and wasn’t getting much braking. But that’s OK. They sent 
me the wrong front hoses so I need to change those out too. Was a 
gorgeous day, just right for a Benz day!


I drove it a bit, washed it so it’s looking good again. Needs a 
transmission fluid filter change and oil too so will get to that soon 
as well. Fired right up after sitting for a year or more, no telling 
what’s in the tank but it ran. Smoky, needs a good hard run I think.


But progress! And thankful for good friends!

Stall event is not just an angle of attack function. Many other factors can
and do come into play, such as aircraft weight [fuel load, cargo, drag, and
air density, ice accumulation, etc etc].
Angle of attack indication only gets you "somewhere in the ballpark of when
stall will occur".
Good piloting skills, as mentioned, teach you to feel what the airplane is
doing at all times.

The Tailwind can operate out of almost any airport, while the canards need
a long runway. Someone built a Long-eze here on our 2600 ft. airport and
didn't manage to clear the trees at the end. Made a mess of broken
fiberglass. My C182A with nothing special gets off the ground in approx.
800 - 900 feet. The Tailwind might take another 100 - 200 feet, might not.
Stalls that kill people are the result of poor piloting - not managing the
airspeed and un-coordinated turns at slow speed and low

I don't know how close the KC-135 and the 707 are. Yes, the KC-135 engines
have been upgraded at least once, and they are talking about doing it again.

Re: [MBZ] Windows 10 upgrade on PC

[Kaleb Striplin via Mercedes]

I found info on the windows 7 update error which walked me thru stopping 
serviced renaming some files, doing some other command prompt items then 
restarting. It’s now checking for updates. It’s possible no updates have been 
running on this machine for a while.

I will have to check. I do know I have a windows 7 update issue. When I go to

Kaleb,
I may have missed it before, but can you tell me what the pc is that you are 
upgrading?  For example, maker/model, processor, mem amt. and type, HD and free 
space, etc.  Also, have you checked that you have the latest Win7 OS upgrades 
and that your BIOS is current.  Also, I would suggest removing any odd cards 
that may be in the PC.  There maybe be something like the BIOS issue I had on 
my old Vostro 200.  There are some processor features that Win10 requires be 
turned on that Win7 did not care about.  Once I upgraded my BIOS on the Vostro, 
the upgrade flew right through.

Re: [MBZ] OT: Temperature in MidEast just went up

[Max Dillon via Mercedes]

Not very likely. I'm retired from Navy Reserve now. Retired from active duty 
would be called before me. Army did that for the surge back in 2008, Navy did 
not being back any retired that I know of, although they can always make 
exceptions for "by name" recall if someone has a needed skill. They recalled a 
bunch of retired folks when Reagan brought the battleships back out of 
mothballs, for instance. There were no Gunner's Mates left who knew how to 
operate those sixteen inch guns.

Re: [MBZ] Aircraft nerding out

[Peter Frederick via Mercedes]

Dredging back into my less and less reliable memory, I don't think a KC-135 is 
actually the same as a 707 -- I believe I remember that the 707 fuselage is 
wider (and hence a completely different design) and last time I looked, 
admittedly many years ago, the engines on the KC-135 had not been upgraded from 
JT-75s.  Hopefully they have been, as they are pretty marginal aircraft at low 
speed with the original engines.

Last one I saw though was smashed at the end of the runway mimicing  a pile of 
junk at Andrews nearly 40 years ago.

About 6 GB has been over-written, but there is hope for the rest.

Re: [MBZ] Aircraft nerding out

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

There’s a refueling group at MacDill AFB here in Tampa that is all KC-135s, so 
I see them daily out of my office window as they take off and land.

I was thinking more of the commercial versions, since they’re far rarer.

Here’s a picture of my youngest son in the “boomer’s” cradle in a KC-135. Don’t 
ask how I got it:
