That's it then! A large brain is not required to be a Sport Pilot!
Reflexes, years of experiences (while you still had brain cells) and
thousands of take off's and landings will replace all that lost "tissue"
with a set of instincts - so to speak.
Why waste precious resources on "brain cells" that are not needed.
"The human brain can only operate as fast as the slowest brain cells. Excessive
intake of alcohol, as we all know, kills brain cells, but naturally it
attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells first. In this way, regular
consumption of beer eliminates the weaker brain cells, making the brain a
faster and more efficient machine."
To quote (Cliff Clavin - Cheers)
Substitute MEK - for this increase in efficiency and I believe we have solved the problem.
"a smaller brain that can reason would provide a larger more flexible set of responses".

A scientist who studies marsupials in Australia claims that a small brain can be a survival characteristic. In general, it is 'biologically costly' for an organism to maintain nerve tissue such as a brain. It requires a fairly constant temperature, it has to be protected from trauma and be shock-mounted, it consumes vast quantities of O2 and nutrition for its size, compared to other types of tissue. Zoologists and anthrpologists claim that if an organism has a large brain it is because his survival depends on it. You won't find one where it is not needed [1]. Interior Australia is not the garden spot of the world. The land is not very productive because there isn't enough water for a lot of plants. This can make survival tough there. Kangaroos (also a marsupial) have tiny brains. This cuts down significantly on their demand for food
[1] Some entemologists claim that bugs can probably think. They claim that a creature relying on a set of instincts to deal with danger and other life issues would require a large brain to hold all of the necessary responses. They think that a smaller brain that can reason would provide a larger more flexible set of responses.

The announcement that the Obama Administration will try 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed in New York City raises some important issues when it comes to what Congress has decided about detainees at Guantanamo Bay - for years & do you think they will really be tried in "New York" - No Way - move to a different venue,after 6 months - Moved to a new venue after 6 months, - moved
again to maybe "American Somomo"?
It was very instructive to see what issue President Obama emphasized before leaving on an eight day trip to Asia. Let's put it this way: it was not health care or Afghanistan or what ever ....
The budget news for October, the first month of the new fiscal year, was simply mountains of red ink, as the deficit for just one month was $176.4 billion.
that was on top of an all-time record of $1.42 trillion...
In Washington the ACORN Administration is trying to find something to blame the Ft. Hood shootings on other than a radical Muslim hell-bent on killing infidels while shouting praises to his God.
Since the House passed its health care reform bill in just one day, most Americans didn't have to become temporary experts on legislative procedure. .
but this is not a political form - sorry Ted

mastermind *Khalid Sheikh Mohammed* in New York City raises some
important issues when it comes to what Congress has decided about
detainees at Guantanamo Bay - for years & do you think they will

You know, a lot of this stuff gets perpetuated because no one challenges
it, and the people who repeat it never bother to check their sources.
I'm not much of an Obama fan, but I would like to know where all the
critics were when the same policies were carried out by the previous
administration.
First, what *did* Obama emphasize before leaving? (I ask because that's
the kind of thing that can be highly subjective, depending on whether
you follow actual news outlets or Faux News....)
It's helpful if you understand stuff, so you know whether you're
complaining about the right things.
For starters, did you know that war spending has *never* been included
in any budget, until now? That's one area of spending that all previous
administrations have attempted to hide from the public. While I didn't
vote for Obama, at least I can give him credit for having the gonads to
put the costs out front. The previous bunch of cowards (I believe that
Chicken Hawks is the preferred term) tried to hide the human cost, too,
by forbidding news coverage of returning casualties, even when the
families requested it. If something really is worth fighting for, it's
worth telling those who are paying the cost about the full price. It's
also worth telling them the truth about what we are really fighting for,
which didn't happen this time, just like it didn't happen 45 years ago
in SE Asia.
I don't like the 'stimulus' spending driving up the deficit, but I
didn't much care for the previous administration handing roughly the
same amount of money to banking mega-corps with no strings attached,
either. I don't recall you complaining when that happened; why not? I
don't recall you complaining when previous administrations, starting
with Reagan, chipped away at banking regulations, culminating with the
change in classification of derivatives from insurance to 'investment'
about 10 years ago, allowing (actually, *causing*) the recent financial
meltdown. If you liked what went on for the last decade, why are you
complaining about the what's happing now, which is actually just a
continuation of previous administrations' agendas?
The comment about Acorn is somewhat irrelevant since the organization
had its financial teeth pulled (did you miss that?).
I, probably like you, don't consider the house health bill much in the
way of reform, but it actually took quite a few more days than one to
pass. If you're trying to imply that the public was misled, or facts
were hidden, where was your voice during the past 8 years? Again, I'm
not endorsing current policies, but I'm informed enough to know that
what I'm seeing is nothing new. If we want health care reform, it needs
to start with the health industry itself, not 'insurance'.
BTW, did you know that the previous administration increased entitlement
spending ('welfare'), the prime frustration of conservatives, more than
any administration in history, even the dreadful Johnson 'Great Society'
period?
I'm just saying that you should be mad for the right reasons, instead of
mad at who the propagandists tell you to be mad at.
Yeah, this is the wrong place for this, but misleading info shouldn't be
allowed to stand just because it was posted to an improper forum to
start with.

No.... this does not belong on the Kolb list...
No.... this will not change anyone's established opinion...
No... there is no benefit for anyone...anyone... in a distructive thread on

So, it's the wrong place for *my* political views, but the right place
for views you think you agree with? Any voice you think you agree with
is ok here, but anything else is not?
Sad evidence of how closed minded we have become....

So, it's the wrong place for *my* political views, but the right place
for views you think you agree with?

Bob,
Disagree. When each of us signed up we agree to keep on the topic of Kolb.
If on guy falls off topic does not un obligate the rest of us.

Jack, you are welcome to disagree.
On a Kolb note, I did a little experiment on my folded MkIII this afternoon.
My wings, built by different people, had a difference in fabric tautness. The left wing, although tight in appearance, had less tension
between ribs than the right. RPMs in the idle range showed a visible difference in vibration.
Additionally, thumping with the panels yielded a different pitch from left wing to right.
I ran my milwaukee heat gun on all the panels and apparently have brought the left up to a comparable level.
One does not want to tarry in a spot or you can get a slightly tannish discoloration. (got one small one that I will try to rub out)
The wing tip bow area responded in an especially favorable manner.
So it can be done after the fact.
