In Texas, there are limited circumstances where alcohol may legally be consumed in a vehicle. Can you drink in an Uber in Texas? It is legal to drink in an Uber, Lyft, taxi, or other motor vehicle designed, maintained, or used primarily for the transportation of persons for compensation.

Probably ok for a quick look tool, rather than indepth troubleshooting. For serious work, 100 mHz is minimum bandwidth I would want.

Jim: That's about what's left after spraying out and full cure. A full gallon of mixed paint, and various additives while still liquid is probably close to 18 pounds. Remember, with two part, most of them are 1:1 mix ratios for the base and hardener/catalyst, with anything up to 4:1 ratio on...

It's going to depend on what is used and how many coats are sprayed. A gallon of two part is going to weigh around 10 pounds when sprayed out, depending on spray conditions and how much additives are required. A C-172 will require about 3 gallons of top coat and 2 gallons of primer.

Been a long while since I flew a Model 10, the big brother to the 12, but I seem to remember the tailwheel lock was a lever control on the center pedestal and was required to be locked for takeoffs and landings. I believe that there was also a prohibition of three pointing the a/c on landing due...

Doesn't look to matter what style canopy. The airframe appears to be resting on the river bottom, from the shots I saw. Looks like the water is only a couple feet deep there.

Had a neighbor that owned probably the most stupid dog I'd ever seen. Ended up naming it DumbA**..... Took some of the neighbors a while to realize he was calling the dog and not yelling at them....

Friend of mine that was a long time 747 captain, said they used to dial WBAP up in the ADF once they climbed past 15K feet on their way back from Honolulu.

XERF and Wolfman Jack.....

Called tropospheric ducting. Happens in the VHF and UHF bands and can be one direction only or multiple. We had a great roundtable going between repeaters in Fort Worth, Greenville Mississippi and Central Florida. We could all hit and open each other's repeaters with 40 watts or less. There...

Could do an ADS-B for the house.... maybe some inspiration here: https://experimentalavionics.com/

Wife has RLS and it will, at times, start causing her to move while still asleep. Once it cranks up, she's wide awake til it quits.

Look up RLS....Restless Legs Syndrome.

Ours get calibrated on a yearly basis, unless it is dropped. Then it gets tagged and sent off immediately to the cal lab.

Not possible for a single one to cover the entire range you will need. You will find that you need from under 10 pound/inches to nearly 200 pound/feet if you work on much stuff.

Skip: Be sure you are getting material from either a US or European mill. There's been lots of people that have had problems with thin wall 4130 from the far east or unknown mills.

A stick is going to be 20 to 24 feet in length. Best bet is simply order it and make a weekend run to Aircraft Spruce East in Peachtree, Ga and pick it up. For UPS, it would have to be cut into sections under 8 feet in length.

At some point there was an antenna upgrade. Current antenna for it is a SRA-20A, and about 25$ at several places. You could also convert to almost any aircraft band antenna if you are not using it as a portable.
