    Curious to learn what worked on your Tailwind. Have used 2 inch copper tape with sufficient bandwidth.

    GoPro Audio-In?

    These guys do cables for whole family of GoPro's: https://www.nflightcam.com/collections/cables Connected all up, mounted GoPro (C172) behind seats and recorded away. Had headset audio (intercom and radio). Be warned, these guys got all sorts of goodies you never thought you'd ever need. $$$...

    Headed to Nashville

    If anyone requires ballast to Nashville, I also have access to the best high protein, low carb chewable finger snacks that can masquerade as superior pilot food. On the odd occasion I can also find the throttle and the toe brakes. Just saying...

    Headed to Nashville

    I'd offer my services as bonafide-weightshiftable-selfloading ballast :):D:) but you're a smidgen out of range (and in the wrong direction damn!). Visit Nashville (commercial into BNA) every 2 weeks. Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy (the spicy chicken takes some getting use to but utterly addictive)...

    What Bluetooth GPS module to go with iPad?

    I flew commercial this weekend and here's some interesting findings discovered. WingsX locked GPS sats on the ground ALL the way up to our cruise alt of 36000ft! WOW, WOW, WOW! This naturally suggests there is GPS signals being received INSIDE the Faraday cage of the airliner! Only after I...

    What Bluetooth GPS module to go with iPad?

    Ed, the 12 inch window equates to approx 30 cm. No reason why a 20cm signal cannot fit through. I have no interest in willy waving with you or you trying to prove why the signal won't reach inside. An aisle seat perhaps no more than 40 inches from the windows does afford a reasonably good view...

    What Bluetooth GPS module to go with iPad?

    Ed, if you can see outside (sky, ground, horizon) the window from the aisle seat then you are also able to receive signals along the same path. Stewartb, RussR an Cap'n Jack thank you for your input and replies. Haven't ever heard of any of those devices. Plenty to look into. And on a totally...

    What Bluetooth GPS module to go with iPad?

    Using cellular enabled iPad with WINGS-X which works great bimbling along a 172 cockpit. Also works pretty great flying commercial (isle seat on Southwest) during taxi to takeoff. All data fields are updating excellently. Once above 12000ish ft. the GPS discombombulates and simply doesn't...

    Who let this guy solo?

    It may prove an easy litmus test to send an aspiring soloist to rent at DVT for their pre solo and complete 2 hours of various full stops mixed in with some T & Gs. Then a few short trips to various neighboring airfields (Glendale, Scottsdale) and back for some circuit joins to DVT. Perhaps...

    Anybody know anything about cello strings?

    With COVID the teaching has gone online using a camera + laptop. So no possibility of getting COVID contamination from teacher or visa versa. Also increases possibility of long distance tuition. It's always a simple matter of having a chat to feel them (teacher) out on what they know and what...

    Anybody know anything about cello strings?

    Sounds like she doesn't have a teacher to suggest to her what strings to use. Jargar Strings Classic, Forte for the A + D strings, Medium for the G + C strings. Truthfully there's a stack of variables, it may prove fruitfully prudent to ask the wife what she's unhappy about the one string. Is...

    Should Radios Be Required At Non-Towered Airports?

    Better than to have a radio and not need it than need a radio and not have it....? Just building up my post count :)

    View of Amsterdam Schiphol airport today

    The food kiosk opposite the entrance to Hilversum vliegveld does food so much (best Uitsmijter) better than the restaurant on the airfield, you really should try it (perhaps not their coffee). Although sitting outside the restaurant on airfield you get awesome opportunity as the aircraft come...

    What is the practical difference between RG-58 and RG-400?

    Indeed so, the losses can increase even further unless a perfect match is present. The further away from 50 ohms the aerial is matched, the higher the losses. 50 ohm coaxial cable is designed to carry 50 ohm loads. The reduction in TX power reaching aerial is also another clue that your RX will...
