Ebbie Mendenhall, a retired Airline Pilot and long time flight instructor
occassionally looks in on this group. I've met him once or twice at Thun Field many
years ago. He has a website and sells his "rite angle" instrument.

It's a well done site and well worth a few minutes to read about Elbie too. The
physics are legit and this is a bona fide useful product.

"If Congress can do whatever in their discretion can be done by
money, and will promote the General Welfare, the Government is no
longer a limited one, possessing enumerated powers, but an
indefinite one, subject to particular exceptions."
--James Madison, letter to Edmund Pendleton, 21 January 1792
"[At Obama's last press conference, there] was a question by CBS' Chip
Reid about the $2.3 trillion difference in the size of the debt between
the Administration's estimates and the Congressional Budget Office.
'Some Republicans,' he said, 'called your budget ... the most
irresponsible budget in American history.' Obama may be sitting in the
Oval Office and he might have promised to open the post-partisan era,
but his answer was: 'First of all, I suspect that some of those
Republican critics have a short memory, because as I recall, I'm
inheriting a $1.3 trillion deficit, annual deficit, from them.' Return
with me now to January 3, 2007 when John Boehner, Republican of Ohio
was elected Speaker of the House following the 2006 mid-term elections.
Whoa! What? Nancy Pelosi became Speaker? And the Democrats controlled
the House? And the Senate? And they have controlled the budget
committees for the past two years? So the '$1.3 trillion deficit,
annual deficit' was adopted by the Democrat-controlled Congress? Well,
then, which Congressional Republicans could President Obama have been
talking about? Must have been those Republican Chairmen of the House
and Senate Budget Committees, U.S. Rep. John Spratt (D-SC) and Sen.
Kent Conrad (D-ND)."
-- political analyst Rich Galen
"Actions do deter; words are much less effective. Regimes like
those in North Korea and Iran are not likely to be deterred from
becoming nuclear powers -- aggressive nuclear powers -- by just
words, however smooth this president's. John Bolton, the former
American ambassador to the United Nations and current prophet
without honor in his own country, noted that President Obama had
said North Korea's firing its (misguided) missile would be a
'provocative' act. Yet when it did, that regime suffered no
repercussions except more empty words of censure. Just a few days
before the missile launch, this country's special envoy for North
Korea, one Stephen Bosworth, announced that he was ready to reward
Pyongyang with a visit -- and resumption of six-power talks once
the 'dust from the missile settles.' To quote a stunned John
Bolton, 'It is no wonder the North Koreans fired away.' Iran's
mullahs doubtless were watching the American cave-in carefully,
and drawing the correct conclusions: With this president in the
White House, they face no serious obstacle to the development of
their own nuclear-tipped missiles, at least not from this country.
The Israelis, as always, may be another matter. If and when they
do act, what then? The world may find that it has drifted into
catastrophe. And once again it will have been demonstrated that
not taking action has consequences, too.
