-I have one jet that has brakes with down elevator due to only 9 channel receiver.

-propane on board, yes it can cause a fire, why do Turbine Mfg. still recommend the intallation of it? the only 2 fires I have ever seen with jets did not have on board propane.

- left or right wind direction dictates, but I due favor a left to right landing as 90% of the wind direction at my field dictates this, yup a little rusty on right to left approach.

- I don't think there is anything wrong with a very experienced pilot ie David Shulman, Rob Lynch or even the best pilot at your club, taking your jet up for the first time and trimming it out for you. There is a lot of investment here and nothing wrong with a little insurance.....( I think this is what you meant) Sometimes Jitters gets the best of you

Now I have seen the best Jet pilots and very experienced pilots all get complacent with safety, especially when in small numbers without spectators, I have also seen Jet Pilots point exhaust right at spectators or having them standing beside the turbine when starting. I also think and this is just "think" that some of these Jet Pilots think that how can these spectators be so stupid to be looking down a tail pipe when it is starting(at a distance mind you) if they get hurt it is their own fault, they SHOULD know better.

Anyway I agree that safety is the utmost importance, whether they fly left or right when they are up alone it doesn't matter to me, if they are up with some one else....follow the proper wind circuit. As for propane on board this is a Mfg. and insurance issue. The rest of it follow the Turbine Builders Safety Code at all time.

Now I will go and get my Popcorn


Hey Pete, Friday/Saturday still looking good for some white winter flying
