Rich Arnold Fog lifting in N. Louisiana. Maybe if we don't get pop up storms, it will be a fly day.21 hours ago -
Wesley Frey commented on Henry IMGW's Video.Very impressive! When you fly it feels like the wing moves. If you watch landings from the ground it looks like the wing is steady and the pod moves. This movie shows they both move. I am surprised at the vertical movement due to what appears to be ...

Abid Farooqui commented on Abid Farooqui's picture.You are right about the semantics. But you will never be able to tell if the bolt is good or not, unless you literally took it out and carefully looked at it. From the outside like an annual inspection by a run-of-the-mill A&P, the fatigue would be ...

Joe Hockman commented on Abid Farooqui's picture.Abid, what you say about AN bolts failing makes sense. Except that AN bolts that have been subjected to sufficient fatigue are no longer "perfectly good". They are predisposed to failure under loads below what they would be rated for when new, so ...
