Big Red L,. .. .Although I am a regular visitor here, I generally dont post on pprune unless I think I have something worthwhile to contribute, but I have to say that Im with FFF/Evo/FNG here and feel compelled to say so. The really good thing about the private flying forum (unlike a lot of the other forums I know) is that we are civilised and polite to each other dispite any differences. Hence I dont think we need a great deal of moderating, in fact it seems on this forum everyone moderates themselves before they post. Also, so what if the threads diverge a little (or even a lot!!) if its what we want to talk about? . .Please dont take any of the above personally, I just dont want this forum to go the way of some of the others on pprune, which have topics get closed or moved all the time, sometimes before I get to read them!! Its just Ive noticed the tweaking in the last few weeks and am not entirely convinced its really needed when everyone is so friendly here on private flying. So really only want to say....Take it easy!! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="biggrin.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="biggrin.gif" /> . .. .Regards, SD... .. .BTW Thanks for the accidental posting of this thread Evo, its rather good....and I will now get right back to it..... .. .I generally have the following in my flight bag whenever I fly anywhere:. .. .Passport & pilots licence . .Personal Logbook. .Kneeboard with current & blank flight log/plans. .Map attatched to A4 clipboard. .Southwest France VAC. .Checklist. .Headset. .Fuel tester. .Whizzwheel. .Ruler & protractor. .Various pens, pencils & markers. .. .
