I assume that for some, flying just isn't flying unless their plane matches the monogrammed towels and robe.

Yeah but...

:P

Guessing from my own experiences, but partly 152 is 24V and the 150 is 12V, and partly cheaper Conti overhauls vs the Lyc? 24V accessories and batteries are more expensive in general. Despite the O-200 being an 1800 hour motor and the O-235L2C being 2400, my experience has been they will both...

I can't think of any AOPA article or news item where I ended it wondering "yeah, but... are you packing a jazz hose or a clam under there?"

Crazy that the black duct thing is still going on. I removed all of mine on my mouse in 2003.

Good choice. :) If you didn't already know, the Beech Aero Club is the hotbed of expertise for the aero-center beeches like the C23 -- and you'd find not only the best shop in the area for your PPI, but the prebuy guides/checklists and focus items to check out...

Do they fake the "deposit" side of a wire somehow? I've always assumed a wire landing in my account was as good as gold.

Has anyone done some sort of celestial navigation computer? I've always thought that would be an amusing use of a raspberry pi, but never researched it deeply enough. Obviously no good in IMC or with high overcast :)

Whatcha doin about it? :)

I keep watching the PoA chimney for the colored smoke.

Whatever they call it, it will be uncomfortably close to or over a grand.

Possible? I have no idea. Someone, say, some sort of association of pilots and airplane owners, might want to shed some sunlight on wtf is going on with fee inflation? I imagine this stuff affects the EAA planes also in some way. Maybe EAA is going to take the piston advocacy business from AOPA...

He might. I also won't be considering those Bose A20s he may or may not be selling for $500

My facebook rule is that people with two first names = scammer :D

I don't even know the skill set needed to, say, stare down the giant FAA pension mill and refusenik culture. Who is the right person for that? An attorney? A tabloid sensationalist? A lobbyist? Would the same skill set be able to stop the dramatic rent-seeking of FBOs and public airport spaces...

Expect a near-certain positive diagnosis. The treatment isn't bad. The SI is straightforward too. It sounds like you won't resent the medical industry cash-vac working on you, so that's a big plus. Others report that CPAP treatment is a big box of jesus in their life. I wish I was one of them...

Anyone can learn to fly. It's that venn diagram of "can learn" "has the money to learn" "has the time to learn" "has the desire to wade through FAA legalese and regulations" "at the end of it all, still thinks it's worthwhile" -- which dictates if they will/can learn to fly under the current...

I can't even with this... :confused:

I'd think an engineer would steer clear of SLAs in general and gravitate to the tried, true, inefficient, and deeply-regulation-hamstrung C172. I also think it would be hilarious for a flight school to be training students in all of the regulations that same outfit is flaunting -- and not...
