I see that sometimes the circle thingy with what looks like an email in it under the "topics" header on the LH side, some are scrolling, why is that? When you place the mouse on it, it says"No New Posts", Even though I have read them it still scrolls.

By the way, what landing lght did you use on the faceted bulb? How many watts of power is it rated at?

It is MY money that I am spending on my plane...... not t...

Renting vs Owning There is only one reason to own an airplane, "I want one, I happen to be able to afford one, so therefor I have one", other than those reasons don't try to justify it as "I am saving money over renting", the costs of ownership can not be factored into the reason...
