And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

My God! He's levitating that float plane using only the power of his mind!!
De Havilland, where aircraft do not stall, they simply fly tighter and tighter loops until they disappear in a blink. I believe Helio Aircraft had the same concept in wing design. I never believed it until I saw a Helio Courier land against a forty knot wind on a plateau in southern Laos after which was unloaded two pax and two hundred kilos of rice. I asked the contract pilot how close to max he was, was told not even. to this day, I still cannot believe how slow the aircraft was moving over the ground. I believe he stopped in less than twenty feet.
... and full flap deflection.
