I use my bluetooth keyboard with my 440 regularly; honestly, most often to clear messages / alerts without having to reach over to the stack. I have a plan to mount an iPad Mini in the panel to run the IFD100 app, but the panel dock will not *quite* fit in the space allotted (mis-measuring by...

It was indeed true that nearly all of the "bad post" reports we got were for Spin Zone content; and it was nigh on impossible for the MC to keep up. That, plus hostile messages from butt-hurt folks who thought we weren't mean enough to the people whose posts they had reported. Just not worth...

Gotta say - when I was young, I rarely (and by "rarely," I mean "never") missed the opportunity to fly in a plane of any kind.

If your router has a connection for an external antenna, you might well be able to connect a good directional antenna and aim it at the access point. Place the router in bridge mode, such that it is not handling DHCP, but just acting as a bridge, and it should work. Other choice would be to...

I used a (very cheap-ass Chinese) oscilloscope to look at the signal output from the fuel flow transducer on my EI setup. Wanted to see whether the problem was in the box, or the transducer. It was the transducer, and easy to see - but I could not have gotten the kind of information I needed...

McCauley places red dye in the lubricant of the hub so, if a leak begins to occur, you'll have witness marks from the leaking lubricant which otherwise might be too thin as to be invisible. And, as for the OP question, I haven't a clue. My library does not include a McCauley service manual...

Looks like heaven, Gary. Hard work, well earned!

Unfortunately, the replacement display modules which were available until relatively recently are no longer made, and we are led to believe that they will never again be. So, as the displays die, so do the prospects of using these otherwise-solid radios. I face this exact scenario myself. My...

For many of us, it is both; I have been led to understand that there are a reasonable number of N-Reg aircraft in Euroland that us FAA-cert holders can rent and fly, but I have never done anything about that because none of my trips across the pond have left me with enough time to pursue flying...

This, exactly!

I file through ForeFlight exclusively now, and get messaged confirmation of the filing and the acceptance within 60 seconds - pretty much always. In addition, I routinely get "as filed," but I also look up what's being assigned in ForeFlight and, assuming it make sense, I file that anyway...

I'm just thinking, a 1 1/2" Snap-On combo ought to be worth, what, eleventy-million dollars?

Gunny's the tops, in my book. I need to get out there for an unusual attitudes course some day soon.

Indeed. The sliding scale filing fees are impressive numbers, and all that the filings do is get you started on a limitless flow of petty little Case Administrator emails. Clients love finding out that the filing fees do not pay for the arbitration - just the administration.

I'm not a big fan of arbitration in the business context, other than for some limited scope issues. My biggest objection is that, in the arena I play in (construction), most arbitration agreements include substantial restrictions on the right of the subcontractor (typically who my clients are)...

To be fair, Ted, you think at a higher level than… well, everybody. Best of all, you possess a rare but valuable trait: you don’t over-think stuff, and you’re ready to jump right in and start cutting and welding. I envy that.

This... ...this is amazing. I am inspired that you're doing it, Judy. And "Riviera Paradise"? Yeah, that.

I like the breaker as close to the power source (presumably, the battery or master relay) as possible. This in turn suggests a breaker designed for harsh duty environmentally. Here is one I find now, but I did some research a while back and had identified a similar device that I liked… and I...

I have been very satisfied with the EI MVP-50 in my Bonanza; if your panel plan does not include fabricating a large square place for the instrument (and I get that some folks don't want that), the CGR30P performs all the same functions in a 3.5" round form factor. It integrates very well with...

I met several of my very best and most cherished friends at PoA fly-ins (Gaston's and 6Y9er). They were all strangers until I met them, and then, they were friends. If any of you are intimidated at the thought of showing up where you know no one, fear not: once you're there, you're in. That's...
