Vibe coding - has that mindset moved into the world of homebuilt aircraft? What has been the impact?

My approach to building a glider has been 'build a little, test a little.' That doesn't mix well with the vibe coding approach.

"Experimental amateur-built aircraft, often called "homebuilts" because they are typically built in people's garages and basements, are the fastest growing segment of new aircraft in the United States."

"What amuses me is the chatter around such illustrations. You’ll see comments to the effect of “normal airplanes are boring. Engine in the front, tail at the back, people in the middle. Blah!”

Well, friends, because that’s what works. It’s fair to say general aviation moves on settled science. We know what works efficiently and safely when the human is the only thing in the control loop"

Wenn man einen Ultimate Guide zum #EAA schreibt, einen bekannten Accessibility-Newsletter sponsort, und dann sowas schreibt:

"The EAA builds upon the EU Web Accessibility Directive, adopted in 2016…"

Nunja, dann würde ich dem Rest des "Guide" auch nicht unbedingt vertrauen...

Going on an Air Venture

Serial number 34378 was donated to the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) in 1978 by the Outboard Marine Corporation. She was used to fly EAA staff, EAA merchandise, and later gave scenic rides. The EAA hosts the AirVenture fly-in convention at Oshkosh, Wisconsin each year, which happens to be commencing in less than two days.

Being at a regular dev conf (meaning no focus on #a11y ) I hear so much misinformation regarding the #EAA 😬

Are there blog posts from within my community regarding the EAA? 📋

I‘d love to share a collection of resources from people I know when someone is approaching me regarding that topic.

I flew to KLOT from KATW today on a whim because our Young Eagle Rally was cancelled and it was a fun trip. I had to peck my way up through the clouds and then back down through the clouds on the way down. Going under Chicago class B was a mistake as it was bumpy and generally not fun. For the return trip I circled south of the Bravo to 10,500' and proceeded over the airspace which was a nice smooth ride.

Tricky things were the 40+ knot crosswinds, weird wind shear, 20 gusting 28 on landing. Continuous moderate turbulence below the cloud layer. I had to do a go around when I was landing at KATW because wowie what a challenge.

It was a cool day of flying, 4.9 on the Hobbs and I am very tired now. Also we have a heat advisory for Heat Indexes of 104F (40C) but it was nice at altitude. Putting the plane away and cleaning the wings and such in that heat had me dripping sweat.

I need to take a shower
