RE: Why did you join the AMA?

RE: Whats a warbird?

O.K. Would you allow a ME108 in your warbird category?

RE: If a treasurer of an AMA club were to steal a large amount of money, what action should take place?

I keep seeing people suggesting more than one signature on a check. This is a waste of time. The bank doesn't check on the number of signatures, or sometimes if there is even one on a check. The...

RE: Designing a plane just for the wind

I agree with your idea of less fuselage area, da Rock. However, my Taube is definately NOT a fast airplane. It might do 45 downwind! There is very little side area on the fuselage which keeps it...
