Most small planes, such as Cessna 180 or 182 do not have it. In a car the road is constantly changing, or if straight, the car still must be kept centered. Also, in a car by using both hands you should be able to control a front tire blowout at high speed, but with only one hand you may die. skydiveboyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17174073226290431753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730391.post-4916430674476052822018-05-24T20:02:26.716-07:002018-05-24T20:02:26.716-07:00SDB: You probably know a lot more about that than ...SDB: You probably know a lot more about that than I do!

You normally fly by holding the yoke or stick with one hand only. Once altitude has been reached and the plane is trimmed it pretty much flies itself and does not wander as a car might.skydiveboyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17174073226290431753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730391.post-67699839667956158212018-05-24T19:27:57.113-07:002018-05-24T19:27:57.113-07:00I just assumed that stuff was there so that he had...I just assumed that stuff was there so that he had some place to hang <a href="https://video.newsserve.net/700/v/20180524/1805241811-Commemorative-North-Korea-summit-coin-selling-at.jpg" rel="nofollow"> all his medals</a>!!<br /><br />68Chargerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08752278586155221236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730391.post-56537139374217033892018-05-24T19:13:18.099-07:002018-05-24T19:13:18.099-07:00What are all those controls, screens, and things o...What are all those controls, screens, and things on the ceiling of that plane?Word Womanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15491300694641304112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730391.post-6861852955760149142018-05-24T18:55:18.396-07:002018-05-24T18:55:18.396-07:00The other part of what ecoarchitect and I were try...The other part of what ecoarchitect and I were trying to get at is that Sprite and Coke are a part of Coke enterprises.
