But I got to thinking that it would be really good if you could be warned somehow that you were about to lose control . Heck , I don ’ t have any idea from one minute to the next when I ’ m going to get all wound up . All it takes for me is to see that dang silver colored cat out back , and I just lose it . Most of the pilots I know seem to be a little cooler and more level-headed than I am , but I bet they could still use some kind of alert when their airplanes were not in coordinated flight .
One day , I grabbed a rawhide stick and chewed on it for a couple hours , and after I went looking around the kitchen , it finally hit me ! There ’ s this cup thing on the door of my crate that they put water in for me . What if I could set that up in the airplane ? When I ride around in the back of the truck in the crate , if we go over a big bump , or around a sharp turn , that water spills all over me . Pretty fun . The same thing might happen in the air-plane . Fly right , or end up with water all over you !
So I need to work out the math on how much water to use and stuff , and the real hard part will be mounting the cup in the airplane . Fortunately , my dad got me a 3D printer , and as soon as I finish putting it together , I can start modeling prototype cup clamps . Next month , I ’ ll report on my progress with that . In the meantime , I need to go rest . The sore spots from that tutoring ordeal are really fading away at this point , and I could use a good nap about now .
