FD,
Fear not, sweetness and harmony reign again here!
Have just looked in at the Flyer forum and they appear to have lost the plot altogether. Even the old hands there seem to be accusing each other of being imposters, and anybody who asks anything is immediately accused of being a troll. Still, some of the postings are quite funny (intentionally and otherwise) and it is the first time in months I've been able to read that forum without an attack of narcolepsy.
Just goes to show, every board needs its 'Jet Blast.'

When I first saw Pprune I was flying a 65hp Cub so the basis of the name was obvious 
. LowNSlow was the next best thing to Low 'n Slow which was already taken by somebody who posts a lot in Mil Aircrew.
Please note: said Mil Bod has opinions and a manner VERY different to yours truly.
PS I did think of changing it to Slightly Higher and Quicker when I got the Auster but decided against it

Hi all
I love my British heritage; of which I am very proud. However, got sick of the cost of flying, and the petrol prices!! Came over to the USA for an adventure after finishing university. I got married 2 weeks ago, so I guess I'm here to stay!!
Cheers

Discovered pprune when doing training for my Instrument Rating in Bournemouth. The altimeters (2 in an IFR aircraft) have always to be set correctly if you are not to fail and what with airfield QNH, different regional QNHs, and flight levels (1013) I thought that there would be one less scope for error if the Bournemouth and Solent QNHs were 1013 at the time of the (very expensive) CAA flight test.
Hence QNH 1013 was really just wishful thinking.

Went through a phase where it seemed like any time I got to fly it would be for a club currency check OR with weather that was just unfit to stray from the airfield. Hence a lot of Circuit Bashing!!
