One of my favorite SeaRey pastimes--flying a slalom around the Tar Bay archipelago: http://youtu.be/YG4R4HGCym8
It''s instructive to watch the stick and the knees. The new LSX Frise-type ailerons that I long for would make all the high-sticking unnecessary.
Come to the splash-in on the 20th--or any other time--and try the slalom yourself (but not if there are boats close to the islands). News&p=SZDW40000
(YouTube may not allow this video on iOS devices because of the music copyright, but it plays fine on computers, and it works right now on my iPhone.)
(2014 November 19 note: this is not a new video. Moving it from a different category to this one bumped its posting date up by two months.)

Not that I would question another SeaRey pilot, least among them Professor Don, so I will limit my discussion to arithmetic: According to my K&E Log-Log Decitrix (or whatever they were), and assuming a nominal 70 mph-- and that a sneeze consumes a nominal 1 second-- then the minimum slalom altitude should be 102.7 feet AWL. Your sneeze or snooze may vary.<!-- >'"><br><font color=red size=6>' or > missing in user HTML. Please fix the HTML.</font> -->

1. What the hell is a 'K&E Log-Log Decitrix'? ;-)<br />2. 102 feet might be a safe height, but it isn't a fun one. If I'm flying the <br />Chesapeake Bay and I don't get to a single digit altitude at least once, <br />then it must be a blustery day.

It's always 'on' Jerry and uses no fuel.

An old but familiar book Eric. Do you have the hardware too?<br />

You probably keep the slide rule next to your manual typewriter... :-)<br />Th only slide rule that my children know is ...'Do not stand while going down the slide!'

Clearly that has an OFF button and off is where it belongs.

..another fond memory, the smell of a Lionel Train...but staying on the thread Eric, I <br />once spent a weekend with a Frieden (sp?) solving one problem which was a little <br />later solvable on an HP-65 in seconds. While the -65 was programmable, it's <br />predecessor, the HP-35 was the real technology breakthrough; so do you also <br />have one of these stored in your museum?

What fogies! I wouldn't go back five minutes, let alone back to the slide rule era.<br /><br />Back then I used to have a nice shirt pocket sized K&E slipstick. It looked great with the ballpoint pens. Can't remember what happened to it, though. All I can find now is this plastic beginner model, but I don't remember ever using it, myself.<br /><br />It does work, though, and it sure is practical. Why, just look: I've squared pi with it. And the answer is... uh... uh... a little less than one!<br /><br />Sure.

Fogies? You got that right Don. I thought my career had peaked when they gave me the small K&E that fit in the pocket protector.<!-- >'"><br><font color=red size=6>' or > missing in user HTML. Please fix the HTML.</font> -->

Here's another analog oldie:<P>A: What's the formula for the area of a circle?<P>B: Pi r square.<P>A: That can't be right. Pie are round. <I>Cornbread</I> are square.<!-- >'"><br><font color=red size=6>' or > missing in user HTML. Please fix the HTML.</font> -->

Correction. Jim won (but only if that was his Addometer)

Its been my Addometer for .......... 60 years?...... came to me from my Grandfather who was an Engineer, born about 1870. (unable to check exact date at the moment)<br />BTW, I think I agree with Jerry R ;-)

Jim, Never heard of an addometer (before I was born). Looks like yours could use some lubrication. Still have the stylus?

Yes, Eric, you can just see the stylus on the RH side

Hey, Jim, the only one of those things I've ever actually seen was in China. Very interesting--sort of like a dial telephone. Sorry to say, though, that it couldn't keep up with an abacus.

Well Prof, I will look for the abacus I have around here somewhere.

So trim in a slight climb, maintain manual forward stick pressure and in case of sneeze, bird strike or tiny <br />bikinis, release stick.

If I see a tiny bikini, I might be tempted to grab my stick a little firmer...

It's optional, Buck. (First check for boats from higher up and take care if there's wind.) Intellicast says the 20th will be sunny and 77º here.<br /><br />Intellicast is my favorite iPad/iPhone weather app, by the way. It's probably no more accurate than any other, but its map shows really cool moving surfacewind arrows, fronts, highs and lows, storm tracks, in addition to the usual radar and other info.
