I was thinking just the same thing!

I was wondering what would have become of this thread, if the question had been "How does the alternator work, while I momentarily push the aircraft over into near zero G, while electricity is being used?" Or, "What would happen if as a pilot, I used the battery to start the aircraft at LFAT?". Heaven help us, we'd be into our 6 th page, with some posts having been deleted by a vigilent moderator!

But, Aslan cunningly avoided using the words "cheap" or "spam can Cessna 150" in their post, and aside from capitalizaton errors, got the words spelled right as far as I noticed - so my duty is complete!

And, thanks everyone, I did learn a few things worth knowing - so there you go! I'm off now to lurk for the next transgression, then pounce, with editorial errors in my own critical rant about language perfection!
