    "New" Flight Sim

    So, what's the deal? Is this only available on Xbox right now? Or are there plans to have it available on Mac or IBM?

    Lost radios today...looking for reliable handheld

    We lost our radios today and I used my handheld to call ATC. However, the headset jack was not well made and I kept losing the ability to receive. I had to mash my plug into the adaptor plug, otherwise it would back out and I was SOL. I am wondering if anyone has some headhelds with adaptors...

    Garmin vs dual question

    I have a stratux, but the wifi connection is a pretty big battery suck ( I want to use it in a glider). I can connect it to the main battery, but I am wondering if anyone has switched their stratux to blue tooth for its broadcasting, instead of wifi?

    Garmin vs dual question

    I am curious to know if anyone has experience with the Garmin GDL39 3D and/or the dual XPS 190. I will be using either one in a glider plane and I also favor the use of Bluetooth over Wi-Fi for transmitting the data to my iPhone. My airplane partner and I have a stratux system that we are...

    Piaggio Avanti on the ramp... would it have been rude to take a picture?

    If you need a second chance to take a picture of a piaggio, simply fly to KASE during the winter. Some dude has one parked there most weekends.

    This was a big mistake....

    The stanton program (and I was the first person to do it, so it may have changed a bit), involved ground instruction and a good amount of air time. We did a variety of spin entries, especially the dreaded skidding turn. One advantage, in my opinion, is that you feel the wind on your face...

    This was a big mistake....

    Having done spin training in the plane you flew in, I can highly recommend it. Stanton also has glider rides, if you want to fly down and try two planes instead of one ;-)

    Morbid enamoring - Why? An open Letter

    It isn't just pilots. Go check out the annual publication called "accidents in north american mountaineering" Or, any climbing/rock& ice magazine. Or AOPA safety foundation Or AOPA "I learned about flying from..." I could go on. I partly agree with the OP on the morbid fascination. But...

    Need access to a plane in the PDX area this weekend

    The first 150 I rented for the checkout was too close to its 100 hour limit to let me take it for the drop, so I rented the other 150. Both worked fine, but both also tripped my CO monitor when flying full rich mix. Leaned out (in the 2nd 150), it was fine. Brian and I talked about the CO...

    Need access to a plane in the PDX area this weekend

    Aero maintenance at KVUO. They were awesome and very helpful. The planes are old, but well maintained. The instructor who did my checkout was professional, thorough, and kind.

    Need access to a plane in the PDX area this weekend

    I knew from my travels that mulberry paper is really strong, rather thick and behaves like cloth. But, it’s totally biodegradable since it’s made from the bark of the paper mulberry Bush. Link: https://www.mulberrypaperandmore.com/ The paper is 2x2.5. I sewed it together to make a long piece...

    Need access to a plane in the PDX area this weekend

    The Deed has been done. The ashes were placed in mulberry paper, wrapped like a burrito. The package was then tied up with cotton string. In a Cessna 150, we flew the requisite 3 miles offshore at 5000 feet. I slowed to 65mph, with 10 degrees of flaps, and started a gentle turn to the right...

    Need access to a plane in the PDX area this weekend

    I’m grasping at straws here, but I am hoping that someone knows someone in the Portland area that can help. I’m looking for a Cessna of some sort to be able to help my aunt drop off my uncle’s ashes offshore near Astoria. I’m in the area this weekend and an unfortunate combination of...

    AOPA membership.

    A while back, I took advantage of their lifetime membership offer. I use their flight planner and the aopa safety foundation courses all the time. That said, I haven't received a hat from AOPA. When I got my lifetime membership, I did get a very inexpensive windbreaker that says "lifetime...

    San Diego tips?

    Forget burgers, you can get those anywhere. Instead, try Chopstix on Convoy street. They've been in business since the mid 80's, there's always a line (it moves fast though) and it's always inexpensive and delicious. link: https://www.yelp.com/biz/chopstix-san-diego

    Ipad mini vs Apple iphone Xr

    That's right...I meant the mini 5. I looked at the prices and I want built-in GPS in case my bad elf decides to do something funny. To get GPS, and 256gb memory (no 128 available), it's $650. Somehow I thought it was $800, must have read that on another apple product.

    Ipad mini vs Apple iphone Xr

    I'm in need of an upgrade to run my fltplan go app. My old Mini v2 (with cellular) isn't keeping up with the updates and the new mini 4 looks interesting. However, I took a look at the iPhone Xr and the 6.1" diagonal screen seems to be within striking distance of the 7.9 inch mini screen for...
