This comment misses the point and doesn't compare apples with apples. This is a 2 seat aircraft designed to operate in the Light Sport category which is very different from an Ultralight. Light Sport aircraft cost $70k and up.

I just realized there's an app for zip files on the iPad (which I don't have). I already unzipped them on my PC and emailed them to myself. Ignore my nitpick! And thanks for the resource - it looks like it is going to be a great help to me.

I had that happen to me. Just wait a sec and retry. It will work if you do this.

You have to go back to the site and log in, then click on your account link. The download link can be found there

Great deal and one of the things I have been needing for my start up (www.flyinghighcoffee.com). I saw a few load issues when checking out but I stuck with it and got it done.

Safari won't download the file, though when I try to get it from my iPad.

I have implemented a standing workstation. I've heard that sitting for long hours is detrimental to one's health. Some of the people at my wife's workplace have been standing for some time now and no one who changed to a standing work station has changed back. Many have lost weight, too. Here is a link to an interesting article about building a standing work station: http://gigaom.com/collaboration/how-i-made-a-standing-workst... and the health risks of sitting: http://www.geekosystem.com/sitting-health-dangers/

Thanks!

Don't forget that they aren't even able to find the dangerous items. Their system frequently allows box cutting razor blades onto airplanes. How do I know? It happened to me: http://bit.ly/if5XDR after experiencing a traumatic "enhanced" pat down procedure.

After my incident I went to both of my Senators and my Congressman (in person) and recounted my story. I also followed the TSA procedures for reporting civil abuses, which incidentally was a completely worthless excercise.

Their written response to my Congressman's letter to them was, "We followed procedure".

Hopefully it acts like miracle gro

This article is spot on. An excellent description of the way traffic flows through airspace and the role of ATC in movement of aircraft. I can add that as a pilot is would be a bit disconcerting and unusual to be on an instrument approach into an airport and be handed off to the tower only to receive no response. This would likely happen with only a couple of minutes of the flight left and at a time when workload is high (assuming IMC conditions). There would probably be a little confusion before deciding to switch back to the previous frequency.

Not particularly dangerous - but the pilot does have to be prepared for handling some atypical tasks on an otherwise routine approach

Edit to note: VFR (visual flight - night or day) would be a non-event (from the pilot's perspective) with a sleeping controller so long as traffic is relatively light, as it would be at night most places
