    I think I found a wind-tunnel, a big wind-tunnel.
    I was trying to figure out how to setup and document a KF-airfoil experiment tied to the front of my car without something breaking lose and breaking my windshield. Then I thought about indoor skydiving. Looked on Google-Maps for any indoor skydiving places near me in Los Angeles. Decided to investigate the iFLY Ontario. I talked to one of the managers and one of the instructors and instead of shutting me down they seemed receptive to my ideas. Like I said, I think I found a BIG wind-tunnel.

    and their locator map shows 36 locations in the USA
    and their Ontario (Los Angeles) location looks about like this.
     
    Now I am trying to design experiments that don’t cost a lot of time/money :)

    Hi, I am JD-Slow-Thumbs,
    As a kid I was always fascinated with airplanes and wanted to be an astronaut when I grew up. I joined the USAF and served for four years. Occasionally I dabbled in Flight sims. Later I got into R/C airplanes, first fixed-wing ParkFlyers, and then foam board micros, and R/C flight sims of course. I am spending more of my time in flight simulators, FSX currently, and getting pretty good at reading charts and hopping from one VOR beacon to another. Now I am working on smoothing out my landings, and learning how to fly a helicopter.
     
    A blog here would be something that I can show my friends, this is what I do with flight simulators. I have several things that I want to blog about here in a Flight-Sim forum versus an R/C-Airplane forum.
    In coming posts I will be writing about;
    Advancing my flying skills,
    The evolution of my home SimPit,
    And occasional opinions like advocating for FADEC vs Carburetor.
     
    Thanks for reading.
