    Satellite Internet Service

    You can also just tether your Mac Mini through your cell phone (get a USB WiFi adapter for it and turn on hot spot on your phone). The Jetpack idea above is decent and they also make 4G routers.

    Cherokee 140 to Archer

    Going from the Hershey bar wing to the taper wing will cause some slight differences, such as when you pull that first notch of flaps on the taper wing, you gain some lift, so you will need to adjust your speeds a little and the taper wing floats a little more over the threshold. Overall, the...

    East coast weather historically bad or just that time of year??

    Nothing but Smokey skies now. Yuk. I do feel bad for the thousands of people about 90 miles north of me that just lost their homes and tragically some lives were lost too. This has been a tough year for fires out here.

    New iPhone Transfering Info From Old

    Yes, what @sferguson524 said. A tethered backup (connected to your computer with iTunes) will be faster, but both ways work fine. It will download the apps from the cloud, so they will take a bit longer.

    Maple syrup, meh, meh, yuk!

    I guess $5 for 8 oz is a decent price. Real maple syrup is much, much tastier than the corn syrup variety, but then again, there are people that say Budweiser beer tastes good, so no accounting for taste, I guess.

    East coast weather historically bad or just that time of year??

    Not sure what you are talking about. Nothing but blue skies and highs in the low 80’s here in NorCal.

    N/A Best carpet cleaning machines (shampooers)?

    That is a common mistake. Too much soap will leave residue and attract dirt. I have a consumer level Rug Doctor and it works well, but you have to vacuum first and go light on the soap.

    POA Hacked?

    It looks like the Piper forum was hacked. Fortunately, I don't have anything else using that password. It was a password I gave up years ago.

    N/A Best carpet cleaning machines (shampooers)?

    I have this one and have been happy with it. It does a good job: https://www.amazon.com/Rug-Doctor-Upholstery-Professional-Homeowners/dp/B00MFBJEU4

    WiFi question

    Rich’s idea has some merit. You could add a wireless AP in bridge mode just outside the hangar pass a wire through and then add another AP inside. You would need two APs, one of them capable external. You would have to get power to the external. That can be done with a PoE injector just inside...

    Why can't today's cars have magnetos?

    GM junk. I have owned a couple of them, but won’t do it again. Everything from the whole dash going out to infant mortality on the brakes (Chevy Baretta). My Dad had a ‘72 Suburban with the 350 when I was young. The first engine barely made 70k and the second engine much less. Edit: I...

    WiFi question

    Yeah, metal walls and radio signals are a problem. Google Faraday... Try the powerline repeater or pull a cable (how bad could it be?).

    [NA]Did we get over it??[NA]

    I don't like it. I would prefer the extra hour of light after work.

    Big cell phones ??

    Well, in reality, they aren’t making anything the size of an iPhone 7 anymore. The smallest is the XR, which is bigger then the 7, but I found, for my hand, it wasn’t awkward. People with smaller hands may have a different experience. I did not try it in my pocket, but several people here say it...

    How long before water settles to the bottom of the tanks?

    I am not sure how or why the club would disallow a customized checklist. Your CFI might, while you are a student, but it could also be a great learning experience to work with your CFI and create an enhanced checklist. Typically, you are going to start with an existing checklist and then modify...

    Big cell phones ??

    I like the size of my iPhone 7. My friend just bought an XR and it is a bit bigger, physically. I held it, but didn't try it in my pocket and it seemed OK. It has that no bezel and no home button thing going for it, so you get a much larger screen without it being too much larger, physically...

    How long before water settles to the bottom of the tanks?

    I have nothing to add to what Dan said, but on your other pet peeves; many pilots (even students) make their own checklist. You want it to match your flow and also work for you. You can do this in Word or Excel and then laminate it. For my Cherokee, I did a half sheet, two sides and that fit on...

    General Aviation in TV commercials

    Both commercials were disturbing, for different reasons

    Airplane sitting in parking lot

    I'd say he was trying to save on tie down fees, but I am pretty sure Pacific Palisades beach side parking costs a bit more.
