The ultimate act of courage in piloting a helicopter is accepting that the Jesus nut was probably supplied by the lowest bidder. In a message dated 8/20/2010 2:39:36 P.M.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Re: the non religious Jesus Nuts
Ahhh...gotta love Fridays! Yes...there is the Jesus nut on a helicopter, and a Jesus bolt in the rotorhead of a gyroplane, and fixed-wing pilots like to chide us about both. I like to ask them how things will go if the bolt holding the wing strut on a Cessna 172 lets go. Then, I remind them that during pre-flight inspection, I can see mine, and they can't see theirs! I'm still not sure how helicopters fly at night. How does the ground continue to repel them when it can no longer see how ugly they are? This is NOT an off-topic post. It's the first half of a metaphor. In aviation, we're taught to spend all our pre-flight time checking out the hardware, when 90% of the problems are pilot error. Go ahead, say it with me... In repeaters, we spend all our time up on the mountain in the dark risking snake bites and mouse-turd-borne diseases, when 90% of the issues are caused by the usersOK, 99%... ;^) 73, Paul, AE4KR - Original Message - From: cruising7...@aol.com To: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com Sent: Friday, August 20, 2010 3:51 PM Subject: Re: [Repeater-Builder] Re: the non religious Jesus Nuts The ultimate act of courage in piloting a helicopter is accepting that the Jesus nut was probably supplied by the lowest bidder.

RE: [Repeater-Builder] Re: the non religious Jesus Nuts
In my line of work we have a term called Jesus clip, which refers to E-Clips. The phrase was coined when, in removing one, it would go ping and fly off to parts unknown. So, the first words said by the Tech, were: Jesus where did that go? Richard, N7TGB http://www.n7tgb.net/ www.n7tgb.net A nation of sheep will beget a government of wolves. Edward R.
