    Which plane can carry a road bike best?

    '79, but I imagine your Cherokee 180 still has that sizable baggage door.

    TRA email from FAA

    Look on skyvector around Twentynine palms. they expanded the MOAs and restricted areas for some sort of wargame exercise. The FAA notification should have mentioned these so we can figure out what the hell they are warning us about.

    Which plane can carry a road bike best?

    I managed to fit my bike with both wheels off through the baggage door of our Archer. Fit nicely in the baggage area. YMMV

    ADSB-Compliance

    The GDL82 is an interesting box, but keep in mind that it is a UAT out only solution. So <18k and US only since the rest of the world will require 1090 out (so no Canada or Mexico). I personally think that Garmin dropped the ball in not putting in a ADS-b in receiver into that box. That would...

    ADSB-Compliance

    The 330ES would be the easiest install. You could get a 345, but that's a $4500 box in and of itself. Once you go that route you'll need a new tray and wiring harness. Also I am not sure what the 480 can display with regards to WX and traffic. Having that on your iPad may be a better bet. Once...

    Coolest thing you saw at Oshkosh 2017

    Talked to a couple that flew in a DA-62 from Stuttgart. Also the first production 172 is pretty neat. I never thought I'd drool over a 172 :D

    1-800-WxBrief Question

    To be honest, the last time I called 1-800-VFR-Not-Recommended was when I had no internet in the northwoods of WI, and I had to fly IFR back home. I do think the new briefing site they have is actually pretty nice though.

    Dumb question about gliders vs planes... maybe

    Long high aspect ratio wings, are also harder to design as a structure. As the wing gets longer and thinner, it gets more difficult to achieve proper torsional strength to over come the bending moment of the control surfaces. This was a major issue in designing the Concordia...
