If you bend a slide rule to match the ends, you have the outer scales of the E-6B. Best thing about the E-6B, batteries not needed. Always Aviate, then Navigate, then Communicate.

ViperPilot2 Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 I was having dinner this evening when Maggie, my crack A & P walked into the house. "Bad news", she said. "Two of the Cylinders on that Navion are cracked: 2 and 5. The Engine block doesn't look much better. Lucky your buddy didn't kack the bird on his way down here delivering it." Great. A dead airplane, Least it wasn't paid for... Maggie asked me, "Well, what 'ya gonna do?" I shrugged my shoulders back at her; I didn't really know what I was going to do. "I think I've got an idea", Maggie said. "Lemme make a couple phone calls and I'll let you know tomorrow by Noon. One thing, though... your Rotary Wing endorsement still Valid? When was the last time you flew one?" "Yeah, I'm still current. been a little bit, though. Maybe a Year or so." "Well, better start refreshing. Talk to you tomorrow..."

ViperPilot2 Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 So I'm in the Diner drinking a cup of Coffee watching First Take on the TeeVee, and I hear the sound of whirling Rotor blades coming from the NNW. Looking through the window I see a Hughes OH-6 on Final for 16, then dropping fast onto the Parking spot. Out jumps Maggie, walking towards me and motioning towards the Cayuse as its Rotor spins down. "Well, there's your new Ride" she says to me as she walks into the Diner. As the door closes I look at her, then back at the OH-6. "Really?, I think to myself as the wheels start turning in my brain. I say "Ahh, what the Heaven. Why the Frak not?" I turn and go back into the Diner to finish my morning Coffee and Molly fix for the Day... So, PP... another Change for the Lineup Card. going with the Cayuse (Model 369). VP2_R66_105 KIAS.pdf Fuel Capacity/Consumption might be an issue; I'll just have to test it out on the way to Lansing. I was considering the MD-500 or a Jet Ranger, but the Loach seemed to be the better Era appropriate choice, keeping in the Spirit of the Event. And think of the 'Gunner' as just a mannequin... 2 "I created the Little Black Book to keep myself from getting killed..." -- Captain Elrey Borge Jeppesen AMD 1.9GB/8GB RAM/AMD VISION 1GB GPU/500 GB HDD/WIN 7 PRO 64/FS9 CFS CFS2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
