Yeah . . . that's why I was happy the thing averaged
80 . . .
Short guys IAS was a little slower,

Got that backwards! Must have been too much
hauling furniture in the 100+ heat for two
days! Obviously, if the individual is shorter
then for any given deck angle, his response
would be to LOWER the nose to bring it back
into alignment with the horizon, i.e. IAS
will he HIGHER for the same gross weight,
and power setting. Had hard time getting
to sleep last night thinking about it and
discovering my brain-f#(at)t . . .
Probably need to avoid heavy thinking for a
few days. We got Dr. Dee's office spaces
90% moved (probably 1000 pounds of books
and another 500 pounds of filing cabinets.
I'm trying whole-house wi-fi to avoid
stringing lots of cat-5 cable. After an
arm wrestling match with "Network Magic"
I tossed it out and studied the semi-lame
instructions for the router. Got it to
come up nicely with the MAC address filtering
mode for security so the ground has been
prepared for expanding the network to the
house and shop.
When Dad built this house, I strung hundreds
of feet of of twin-lead antenna and twisted-pair phone
lines around. Today, none of those wires
are in use. A single strand of glass comes to
the back of the house to deliver telephone,
high speed Internet, and soon to be TV. Both
Internet and telephone are hardwired from the
fiber modem to network nodes that move
all data around the house over spread-
spectrum radio.
My Dad would be fascinated with all that is
changing with the house he built in 4 years
of "spare" time 44 years ago.
