Hey Tim, remember when...
....we were kids and would shoot the tip off a deer antler with our .22's? Damn, that
was fun. But, the most fun was when they took off running 'cause they were scared, and then we shot off the rest of the tips. I wonder how many hunters killed a deer and found tipless antlers on the damn thing! -- Guns don't cause problems. Gun owner *behavior* causes problems. |

I don't really have a need to "carry" anymore, so the small Sig has no real purpose. The Ruger SR22 pistol just sits in the safe. Rarely use it.

You also have independant/differential braking which is applied by pressing on the top of each rudder pedal. It's poor form to go around taxiing with your feet on the top of the pedal. It's all too easy to end up dragging one or both of the brakes. I also tell my students to keep their heels on the floor and only raise them off of the floor when they need to apply the brakes. Like others have said, it will all come together with just a little practice. Enjoy your training." Notice there's no mention of 'newer' models. Also, the steering rod parts are virtually identical for old and new models. I'm thinking your instructor must have had you pushing on only the top portion of the rudder pedals. Actually, the steering of the Cessna 172 and the steering of my RC airplane are very similar. Rudder input activates the rudder and the nosewheel. -- Guns don't cause problems.

While I am still kicking I'll either sell/transfer them to licensed individuals as allowed by state law or to a FFL dealer. Note: In MA, that means the firearm now becomes uniquely registered to the new, licensed owner. If I kick the bucket the only one who will inherit any firearms I have is my son in South Carolina, assuming he wants them. He took the time and effort to attend a lengthy (2 month) safety course with his wife that far exceeds the mandatory but simple 5 hour course required for a permit in MA. I have already made my wishes documented on where they go. If he doesn't want them they will be turned in to the local police department for disposal. My other son has no interest in guns and they scare the crap out of my daughter. If grandkids want guns ... they can go take the required courses, pass the background checks, qualify like anyone else and go buy their own. |

I wonder how many hunters killed a deer and found tipless antlers on the damn thing! How sporting. I assume you posted this just to get attention. 'Twas an 'in' joke. You'd not get it. But I'll bet you're impressed with circled pencil holes on cardboard, yes? BTW, here's an interesting ad. It might lead one to believe that even the Cessna 172, not to mention the A-P (or later) versions, had steerable nose geer. http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalo...ingrods172.php I think your instructor was pulling your leg. Interesting, huh? I think you must have missed my previous comment about this. They have a spring loaded nose gear that allows the wheel to turn while making turns. They are not ... (or at least weren't when I was taking lessons in the older models) directly "steerable" by the pilot. You must have missed this: "You said that you steered by using the brakes. Although it can be done that way, I think you might be getting something confused. As wrecksum said, the C-172 has nosewheel steering which is operated by depressing the rudder pedals. You also have independant/differential braking which is applied by pressing on the top of each rudder pedal. It's poor form to go around taxiing with your feet on the top of the pedal. It's all too easy to end up dragging one or both of the brakes. I also tell my students to keep their heels on the floor and only raise them off of the floor when they need to apply the brakes. Like others have said, it will all come together with just a little practice. Enjoy your training." Notice there's no mention of 'newer' models. Also, the steering rod parts are virtually identical for old and new models. I'm thinking your instructor must have had you pushing on only the top portion of the rudder pedals. Actually, the steering of the Cessna 172 and the steering of my RC airplane are very similar. Rudder input activates the rudder and the nosewheel. At slow taxiing speeds the Cessna 150, 152's and 172's that I flew were "steered" by differential application of brakes. Only used rudders when speed was up for take off and obviously while in the air. You're forgetting the nose wheel. *Both* the rudder and the nose wheel were activated by the rudder pedal. I've never flown your particular RC airplane, so I don't have a clue how you steer it, nor do I care much. Well guess what - even the Cessna 150 had a nose wheel steered with the rudder pedals. -- Guns don't cause problems. Gun owner *behavior* causes problems. |

But I'll bet you're impressed with circled pencil holes on cardboard, yes? You're right. I didn't get it. I've never shot or even tried to shoot an animal. And no, I don't get excited shooting at paper targets at the range either. I do so occasionally only to maintain my familiarity with the guns and to sharpen my aim should it ever be necessary to use one in self-defense. Actually, I am thinking of getting rid of all the guns except one. Each gun shoots differently, some more accurately than others. For my purposes and interests it would probably be better to have just one gun that shoots the most accurately and stay familiar with it. Right now, that would be the Walther pistol however I actually prefer a revolver like the little .38 Chief's Special. No fiddling around loading a round in the chamber. Just aim and shoot. I don't really have a need to "carry" anymore, so the small Sig has no real purpose. The Ruger SR22 pistol just sits in the safe. Rarely use it. Might have another handgun that I've forgotten about... have to check the safe. Still have a shotgun that I've never fired or even loaded and the Ruger 10/22 rifle. My wife's favorite is the Chief's Specail, although she does like the P938 also. Of course her accuracy with the CS on SA is much better than with the P938. I like the Kimber .45. I can shoot it better than any of the others. Save the guns for your grandkids. By the time they're old enough, you should know them well enough to transfer them (legally of course). Nope. While I am still kicking I'll either sell/transfer them to licensed individuals as allowed by state law or to a FFL dealer. Note: In MA, that means the firearm now becomes uniquely registered to the new, licensed owner. If I kick the bucket the only one who will inherit any firearms I have is my son in South Carolina, assuming he wants them. He took the time and effort to attend a lengthy (2 month) safety course with his wife that far exceeds the mandatory but simple 5 hour course required for a permit in MA. I have already made my wishes documented on where they go. If he doesn't want them they will be turned in to the local police department for disposal. My other son has no interest in guns and they scare the crap out of my daughter. If grandkids want guns ... they can go take the required courses, pass the background checks, qualify like anyone else and go buy their own. My wife and I were recently looking at Charleston, SC. Then I looked at the state income taxes. Damn. SC doesn't give a lot of breaks. -- Guns don't cause problems. Gun owner *behavior* causes problems. |

If full rudder input doesn't make the turn tight enough for you, ease in a little brake pressure on the same side you are turning. You can pivot the plane around one wheel, but makes it a big eraser and leaves a lot of rubber on the pavement, so take it easy on super-tight turns." You just won't give up, will you. Fly your RC airplanes anyway you want. I don't care. If it's ok with you, I'll fly (when I do) a real airplane the way I was taught. Ok? Absolutely!

I apologize if I was insensitive to Chinese Communists. Maybe Chairman Mao was a hero to you but me, not so much. The "Ch" word you used is a derogatory term to anyone of Chinese ancestry, and its use long predates the advent of Chinese Communists, and even the birth of Mao Zedong. I don't know where you grew up, but in the little town in which I grew up, I was taught to know better than to use those sorts of "descriptors" for Chinese people, and the other words some of you boys like to use to negatively describe people of color, Polish people, women, gays, Jews, et cetera.
