Hey Chuck! Haven't seen you on here for a while. How did you make out with all the flooding in Jersey?

Hey, buddy! Thanks for noticing! I got over 4 inches in my family room in the basement because I lost power for over 12 hours! The next day after Irene (Monday), one of my beautiful Holly trees fell on my neighbors house! Hadn't even notice that the storm had damaged it until it was too late. Even had FEMA out to try and get some help removing the debris. No joy, though, and I guess that's a good thing. Unfortunately, I've been working on becoming single again! Thought I had a real catch with this last one but turned out an 11 year difference in age DOES matter! :DDD Bouncing back really nicely, and meeting lots of new people, and got myself a new puppy to boot (that'll keep the succubus from EVER coming back!). I really miss Opa more than I do my (latest) ex. Just as I was able to use my yoke and pedals again, I got the news. What a loss to our hobby! I'll send you an IM in a little while and we can catch up privately. There are a lot of guys here I want to contact, you being right up there at the top of the list!

I'll trade you my wife and the backup battery-powered sump-pump in my basement for the puppy! Just kidding!!!! Sorry to hear of your travails but glad to have you back on AVSIM - your contributions are always helpful and informed. It's old timers like you that we are going to need to try to fill the void left by Opa....

Does IAS work like FLCH adjusting pitch to maintain speed? always happy to learn something new :)

Affirmative.It's the turbo props version of FLCH.
