Do you have any pictures of the type of mirror and setup you use? I was at fleet farm today and they come in all sizes. I liked the 5" round, but it seems like it would cause some drag hanging out on the strut.

i have a question for any tow pilots out there: my club is trying to figure out the best way to mount a rear view mirror on the strut of a PA-18. We have a mirror inside, but no one likes it. If anyone here has ideas/pictures, I'd love to hear about your solutions.

If you are thinking of STP, might I suggest that you look about 30 seconds to the south at SGS? Gas is also about $4 right now. parking fees, etc: http://www.flemingfield.com/hangar-and-land-lease-information/ You can fly on the west side of STP at 1800-1900ft, right over STP's tower (after...

I enjoyed your e-book version and it was helpful. The weather in MN has been mostly uncooperative, so practicing what you have preached may take me a bit, but I look forward to it. I am curious, have you ever read "contact flying" by Jim Dulin? He has some tips and tricks in there that might...

I bought your e-book. Can I now get a print version sent to my house, or do I pay again?

I like the bags from Mygoflight. They periodically will farm out the bags to other brand names and then they are cheaper.

The book I mentioned describes exactly that hand technique. I can see how the technique would help for anything in front of you, but I cant see how it would help for anything off to the side since one cannot stick their hand out the cockpit window. Here's a link, for those interested...

I found a fellow CAP member/instructor who's willing to help me get my IFR rating. He suggested the FAA IR handbook, IR procedure book for me to get started. When I did my PPL, I like the DVD's I got for that course so I was looking at both Sporty's and King schools. Does anyone have any...

In other news, For sale: slightly bent DA-40 for sale, may need a good buffing to get into flying condition.

As a glider pilot myself, I can definitely recommend getting a glider rating. It made me MUCH more comfortable in the powered craft that I fly. I am also in the process of reading: Engine Out Survival Tactics: Fighter Pilot Tactics for General Aviation Engine Loss Emergencies Nate S. Jaros...

Bernese mountain dog/ poodle

Well, as a test "drive" we took the dog for about an hour today. She did well, but I will definitely look into those k9 earmuffs. Bernese/poodle mix, in case anyone is curious....

I have seen dog earmuffs, but are they really necessary? I am considering acclimating our puppy over the next few flights. Any advice would be appreciated.

I want to get my IFR rating and not spend too much $$ doing it.

My family and I had the misfortune to be involved with some of the Skywest flights in and out of ASE this past week. Skywest pilot told me that they cannot land ASE (15 is the only way in, no go-round possible), with more than a 10kt tailwind. On 12/25, we saw our plane go missed twice...

My wife has finally approved the idea that I spend more money on my flying habit by going for an IFR rating. With an otherwise busy professional life, I would like to be both efficient and cost effective in getting my rating. I do have the possibility of taking a short time off and doing one of...

I know that there's the big icebox cooler they sell at places like sporty's, but would something smaller like this work as well? link: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/geizeer-eco-friendly-ice-cooling-wood#/

Do the Clarity aloft tips work in Halo headsets, and vice versa? I like my halo, but it seems that the foam tips stop working after about 3 months

The first few spins were full spins. The last few, before the loop-to-loop, were recovering before a full spin developed. What surpirsed me what the nose down attitude and the off-kilter angle, but the plane was gaining altitude all the while. I could see how someone, who has started to stall...

I decided to do some spin and incipient spin recovery training after having not done it in years. I made a video of the training, and i hope some find it useful. Link:
