Of course :D
But she gets kakked out a lot though....especially in bad weather.
Only time she gets sweet talked is during landings :shock:

At take off roll:" Ok baby, let's rock 'n roll!"...but she never does...she just flies off the tarmac nice and gentle.

During bad weather:" Fly straight, bitch!"......but she never does.....she now decides to rock 'n roll like I asked 10 minutes ago :shock:

During landings:" Easy does it now...nice and gentle ok?" .....but she seldom does.....always wants to continue flying. :shock:

She doesn't take instuctions very well, but she's a good listener :D
Airspeed, altitude, or brains....you always need at least two

:oops: Well i can say a definate Yes.

I often sit in my VP's cockpit and explain to her just how beautiful it is up there and that she will be there soon she just needs to be a little more patient and she will get there :!:

Wife thinks i have totally lost it. And my Kid is still a bit young to understand who i am talking to cos she looks but just cannot seem to see anybody there :roll:

I'm sure you spoke to AUKie and will be doing lots of talking to whoever you going to be building, some nice and some not so nice when you just don't know how that part is supposed to fit :?:

True, I used to swear at AUKie when ever we hit turbulance, and love her once safely on the ground.

Now I have a 912 engine in a box, some instruments and Radio/Intercom and a delivery date for the rest. I can't wait
