Yup, hope to be there in 2004! And of course everyone is free to seek the
light at the end of the tunnel. As to experience, yeah, I got that in
spades, plus the academics to go along with it. But that was yesteryear. ANd
now I just try and help, just like you. I always enjoy you postings and am
enlightened a lot by them. As to models in the simplified form I get ansy
about some one building some kinfd of model for his car and locates the cp
from that model. Then finds out too late that the small model working at the
wrong speed or pressure put somtehing out of what and they get hurt. I do
know that airplanes and missiles are very simple compared to a car on the
ground going at speeds which invoke some compressibility effects. Oh,
well....to each his own
mayf, the red necked ignorant desert rat in PAH rump...
