Mike you remind me of some of the young co pilots I used to
have. I didn't
know whether I was going to choke them or burp them. As
soon as you get the
18000 hours of flight time as I have then you can speak up.
As a former Navy
flight instructor, Airline flight instructor and current
CFI I think I have a
little knowledge of flying. I am certainly not being
"dishonest or misrepresenting"
anything. How many flight schools shut down the engine
during practice engine
outs? Not many I am sure. I have had my share of actual
engine outs and dead
stick landings both in military and civilian aircraft. I
don't believe a Kolb
ultra light falls in the same class certainly as far as
speed or weight
matters let alone the people you are carrying. Try shutting
down a Cont or Lyc and
get stuck on a compression stroke. You have to stick the
aircraft on it's nose
going straight down to get it started (sans a good starter)
Not to perform
dead stick landings is my opinion. I would hate to hear of
one of our pilots
"buying the farm" or destroying an aircraft
because of intentionally shutting down
his engine. Practice with the engine at idle. The glide
engine out is fairly
close to that. I know most of you guys will shut the engine
down anyway and
that's fine but if something were to happen and I
didn't at least mention it
then I would feel bad for not saying anything. And Mike,
how about knocking off
the personal attacks. You have an opinion and so do I.
There is a lot of good
useful information that takes place here and I for one
enjoy it as every
airplane is a new challenge with much to learn

PS; Please leave Lowell Fitt alone also. He is a great guy
and works very
hard to supply good stuff for our airplanes and is
certainly not making any money
at it
