riddler 0 #77 October 15, 2009 QuoteIn reality it just means home built. Doesn't experimental also cover AC owners that want to mod their plane for different reasons? It seems like I had a friend that modified the engine of his Pitts a lot, so that he could get better performance out of it. Acrobatic pilot. He explained to me that he wanted to be able to have a professional engine mechanic do the engine mods without having to go through the recertification process - too expensive, or something like that. I'm not a pilot, and it probably shows right now.Trapped on the surface of a sphere. XKCD Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LisaH 0 #79 October 15, 2009 They just had coverage of the father speaking as he held his son. Apologizing to his son for yelling at him. All the while, the kid is chomping on a glow stick. Lordy. Glad he's safe. Be yourself! MooOOooOoo Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pontiacgtp00 0 #84 October 15, 2009 Yeah I didn't think that balloon could lift a kid to 2000ft. He probably crawled inside it, had his brothers cut the tether lines, and when it didn't take off he crawled out....away it went! He was like OH SH*T GUYS I'M F*CKED! Then ran and hid in the attic.

CSpenceFLY 1 #86 October 15, 2009 That's what I'm saying. I can't believe that someone in this group of fucking experts didn't figure this out and save everyone a whole lot of worry and expense. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's what I thought, until I worked it out. At standard temperature and pressure, a 13 ft. diameter spherical helium balloon can lift 73.71 pounds.
