    Ipad mini vs Apple iphone Xr

    another thing to consider is that many EFB's (I don't know about yours) have different levels of functionality between a cell phone and iPad. you might want to see if you are going to lose something by switching to a phone.

    Up grading a C-175

    I agree. but it put the plane outside my acquisition budget. I'm still looking at 175's. Im not afraid of the GO-300 if its been run right. and who knows, maybe down the road, I can save up the pennies to put a 360 in it!

    Up grading a C-175

    the STC from Stoots is $15,600. Plus engine and prop. I just asked them yesterday while looking at the same plane. for me, it wasn't worth it, but Im not an A&P. I also wasn't looking to flip it.

    Pilot crashes plane in murder attempt

    if there is, they should refund tuition... it seems every time someone does this, they kill themselves and miss their target (with the obvious exception)

    yes. Its getting better. Also, I realized that it defaulted my settings back to having "snap to location" off. all is well here. Now I just need to get up flying... Although I don't see that happening soon. Also, Im a little bummed that I can't get Puerto rico IFR charts.

    Yeah, any time I don't have a GPS signal, it defaults there.

    WingX V9 preview

    I haven't flown with it yet, but I am a little disappointed. it seems "clunky". not smooth, and it defaults me to Oshkosh. I need to hit the location button for it to go to me.

    What plane are you daydreaming about today?

    yeah, Im not even trying to hangar anything I buy (which limits me to metal aircraft) but Ill address that when I get there. Just need to keep showing the wife my coworker's facebook posts about his trips to St Barths, Guadaloupe, St. Kitt's, etc. She already wants a plane, just gotta...

    Plane fantasizing

    I had never seen a shorts 360 until I moved to San Juan this past summer. My first thought was "wow, a box with wings!" we have a lot doing cargo work in the caribbean.

    9B1 Another airport bites the dust

    I meant to stop in there before I moved away... life got in the way. It stinks that it closed, but there are other short runway airfields around that are thriving. Hampton, NH is 2100' with trees and is in the process of rebuilding the airfield cafe and adding hangars. 1600' is awfully short...

    Your PIC Hours for 2018

    It’s.... different. Lol. But overall I enjoy it. I’m in the San Juan metro area so it’s pretty packed but when you get out to other parts of the island it’s nice. Flying is stupid expensive though. 185-200+ an hour for a 172...
