    What ever happened to that young girl that supposedly went to MIT, she must be graduated by now. Did her plane ever fly?

    Yeah, I'm running an MA3-SPA. Never had to adjust it or anything. Just bolted it on, and am at 150 hours on it. I'm tempted to take it apart and "clean" it or something, but have resisted that so far....

    KLVN is at 960 feet, but density altitudes are often negative here, especially in winter. I've flown in DA's of minus 4,500 feet before. The plane is off the ground before the numbers on the runway in those conditions. Highest DA that I've seen was maybe 3,000 feet. Any time the DA is over 2,000 feet, the AWOS says it. I don't know what it would be like at someplace like Denver, where you're already a mile up just standing on the ground.
