Haven't checked in awhile. Currently have 2 fly able Sig's, an old Something Xtra that will be recovered this winter and a Kobra (picture attached). I have become enamored with Sig kits and have 3 more on the shelf, Clipped Wing Cub, Zlin Akrobat, and an Astrohog. Plan to build 2 this winter.

I flew more than a few times when the cloud ceiling was below the top of my split esses. The plane would disappear until after the turnaround. Of course, there were no other planes flying the pattern at the time.
Merry Christmas to All and to All a Good Flight.
Sincerely, Richard

Guys,
I have a question for the masses. I am working on my Kwick Built Cessna 150 and I am at the stage where I need to add the hinges for the ailerons and flaps. What have been everyone's experience with the SIG poly hinges? The ones in kit are about 26 years old and they look good but I did order new ones.

New hinges are probably a good idea. Plastics/nylons, of any kind, can/do deteriorate over time. My own GP Sr. Falcon flies regularly with 40-yr old hinges and I check them regularly. Many of my CL planes are also 40+ yrs old and still flying with original hinges - they also get checked near every flight. The way, though, not to worry so much is to simply get new ones - which you're doing. Good move.

If you had a cloud ceiling you were not in fog.

About fog

Richard,
You are absolutely correct with the 100%.
No doubt you wished to correct my inclusion of 95%.
Measuring humidity in the air is not a guess; it is done with instruments.
When we are tempted to say "the fog can be cut with an axe" it is then dense fog and likely 100% humidity. Often we see (read) reports that includes visible distance that depends on the amount of condensation. More condensation results in the water vapor forming in very tiny water droplets; the begining of rain in clouds above; in such condition the measuring instruments may not register a full 100% but perhaps 95% or anything close to the 100%. Between the droplets the air is not saturated. Thus the reason I included the 95%.
We could say there is different types of fog. The vapor type and the droplets type.
Some information source confuse the type of fog with the method of formation (five ways).
No matter how it is formed . . . fog is fog.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year .

Last time I checked, the humidity in a cloud was 100%.
Merry Christmas to All.

Last I checked, it was, too.
We have an expert in semantics in this thread. You have to choose your words carefully, even if the expert is wrong.
In the other thread, said expert corrected me. When I looked up the definition of the word(s) involved, the expert was incorrect.
Said expert demands the last word, too. Wait and see.

I wish you had been able to point (mention) your claims.
We then may have been able to evaluate them and perhaps believe your statements.
Please kindly explain where I was wrong so you can help me to improve.
and Ho! _ _ _ What is that word or are those words you are referring to ?
I am human also and can be wrong but would sure appreciate that you would be more to the point so I can correct myself if I was wrong.
Your good advice is always appreciated but your comments are leaving a sore feeling with many readers.
Please justify your comments.

Gentlemen, I, for one, have had enough of the "semantics" conversations - in either thread.

Meteorology for commercial pilots in Canada
In the early 1950s when studying for a commercial pilot license the ground school that included air regulations, airmanship, engines and aiplanes, navigation, and meteorology (weather) had particular emphasis on weather. The government assumed that most commercial pilot would end up working in the northern bush where no weather information was availale in those days.
We were on our own looking at the sky. Fortunately we were either on floats or on skis and had a multitude of lake water or lake ice if needed.

Is it a first ?
I fully agree with you that any postings should be verified for correctness.
I often wrote that postings should be evaluated. So many postings are just opinions without substantiation.
As you wrote "I am out of here" I evaluate as meaning you do not intend to post anymore. I figure you will still be reading this thread.
My postings of drying glue are the first I personally see as a study of actual glue curing behavior and beside being useful to me are (may be) useful to others . . . . ? ? ?
May the Holiday Season bring you and family joy and a Happy, Healthy, and Prosperous New Year.
Best 2 U.

What's more fun ?
For me it is the satisfaction of knowing what is happening, how and why things work, how can things be improved, and avoid posting unsubstantiated opinions.
Now evryone know why a few consider I am a troll .. .. ..

I invited you in. I'm now inviting you out.
And to all whom I have offended with this action, my sincere apologies.
