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.
I wonder if this Poliparkov is on skis? Landing in flat light on snow is tricky as it's hard to judge height, speed and approach angle or see snow drifts and banks. Bush pilots will cut pine trees and 'plant' them in the ice using a fishing auger to create a visual guide. I didn't realize that the Rata had full span ailerons, I thought only Zlin aerobatic machines had them. Al_in_Ottawa
