    Selling Piper PA-28 140 Hershey Bar Stock Wingtips (Blue/White)

    I have some pretty good condition wing tips that I removed from my plane when I upgraded my tips to lighted ones. There are a few lines but no real "cracking" and a scuff mark. If you have a plane that has cracked or broken wing tips these can cheaply be added to makes yours look nice. I am...

    Is a DG a requirement of Airworthyness?

    I don't want to gravedig this post but I just wanted to update that I am having a second mechanic look at it. It's disappointing that the first mechanic ignored me when I said that the DG wasn't working saying that it was probably "just cold" and then when it was having serious issues said I...

    Is a DG a requirement of Airworthyness?

    Vacuum pump, I believe. It's a PA28-140. The AI works fine.

    Is a DG a requirement of Airworthyness?

    I just finished my annual and today my mechanic flew to sun n fun. Problem is that when I was taxing around, making sure everything worked I noticed that my DG doesn't "lock" when I adjust it. It's an AN style DG and basically if I twist the knob and then pull out it will just keep spinning...

    Using Acrylic For Interior Paneling

    I know that there is FAR 23.853 which outlines what you can and cannot put into your planes interior. I was wondering what your thoughts were on acrylic? I was hoping to replace my inside paneling with acrylic sheets cut to size both for aesthetics and so they can be used as a whiteboard. I...

    Want to Buy: Heading Indicator

    My cherokee's heading indicator is pretty well shot. Looking for a new(to me) one, but I don't even know where to start so I thought I would ask around in here if anyone knows of one or has one they are needing to part with.

    Garmin Pilot gripes

    With the new updates, I am finding Garmin Pilot to be better and more reliable than FF. In the settings (I don't have my ipad next to me or I would help you) you can adjust all the colours that you need to. So that should help your eye problem, I think it's actually down in the map area at...

    CakePHP

    If you are going to be stuck in the past with PHP then you should at least use Symfony (the framework they patterned Rails on)

    Straight Talk Support Experience

    Aren't the new BlackBerry's being built on android? The cheapest and probably best option is to get yourself a Nexus 5. No contract for under $600. I believe they run on LTE. There are a few different options out there. I know the HTC One has been rooted on Verizon and I paid around $600 for...

    Straight Talk Support Experience

    Not to go off topic, but getting rid of your android device to get rid of Google is silly. There are plenty of options (including the most popular cyanogen mod) to root your phone with to get the benefits of android without having GAPPS (Google Apps) installed. Actually the ones that are...

    Kirk vs Jean-Luc Picard

    Especially considering their age difference, all the women loved Jean-Luc and he was practically an old man.

    Be Nicer to the FAA Call Center People!

    I called up the FAA to check on my plane's registration's status... the lady was super helpful and found my records and told me it was still another week or two out before they could process it. I explained that a friend of mine already had their paperwork done so I wanted to make sure that mine...

    Taxiway/Ramp Incursion...what would you do?

    Just a few quick points * They didn't build the bridge * The bridge would have paid for itself, and provides a lifeline to one of the largest cities in Alaska.. hardly "no where". * Alaska brings in far more revenue than what it takes... so when it asks for little favours, I think it's...

    The way we think about charity is dead wrong
