In Connecticut you need to either prove the value of the airplane or they will determine it for you. A bill of sale for $1 would not be accepted as evidence of value. People tried that for years with cars too so the DMV just switched to the blue book value regardless of what it says on the...

What kind of incompetent lazy ass mechanic tells a pilot to go fly some more after they report a flickering panel and smoke in the cockpit. What was your plan if that smoke got worse and didn't stop by shutting the breaker off on that next flight. Time to go find a new mechanic.

When the NTSB Chair calls Boeing out publicly saying they are being uncooperative because they haven’t providing documentation for the door removal how would you expect Boeing to respond when the documentation doesn’t exist? It seems like a dumbed down statement is what the NTSB chair needed in...

If its limits are respected the aerovee can be a capable and reliable motor but it takes more than just following the simplistic assembly manual to get it that way. There are numerous things the manual misses or just assumes is right because they mistakenly trust the quality control and...

The comments here are almost as bad as media reports (uninformed assumptions). The guy who was in the accident had just bought the plane recently and flew it across the country home. He did not cobble together the instrument panel as most of it was existing from the previous builder. The...

Most RV builders are assemblers/builders, not manufacturers. The RV plans do not include enough detail to produce a part from scratch, just how to assemble it to the other parts in the kit. If Vans stops making parts for some older designs the value of those planes will take a hit and the...

I would say that even 50 is still quite a few options.

Clearly you didn't even bother looking at the list. Even when converting to knots there are still close to 100 designs that cruise at or above 150 knots.

The list in the kutplanes article below is a few years old but it shows cruise speeds and there are dozens of experimental plans and kits that cruise over 150. Acroduster 2, One Design, Whitman Tailwind, BD-5, Pits S-1S, Bearhawk and Bearhawk patrol, etc. people are just so used to defaulting...

Has anyone actually confirmed that he passed, seen an obituary or talked with his family? This is a pretty long thread based only on another post from another forum. With his tendency to lie or exaggerate are we sure he actually passed?

Does the price of the house reflect the fact that it is so close to the tracks? Remember that if you are questioning buying it because of the location so will every future buyer if you decide to sell in the future.

Imagine having the thing that people most remember about you when you pass be what big lies you told when alive. I sure hope most of you strive to leave a bigger legacy than that. I know I do.

Well if I am going to take the time to pull out my w&b sheets and look it up I think asking why you can’t just measure your own plane and why you want to know mine are both legitimate questions. Since your reply to a simple question comes with an ******* response I guess I just won’t bother...

You need to say what type of plane to get anything useful out of the question. The nose wheel weight of a 737 is going to be much different than that of a 172 or that of an ultralight. Why not just put a scale under your friends nose wheel and actually measure it?

It’s publically available information. Maybe she and musk should use some of their influence to convince politicians to make that type of information not public anymore. She’s going after him because he’s the little guy and her lawyers see it as easier to just intimidate him. The problem...

You will end up getting a check for more than you asked for and then be asked to send him or “the shipper” the difference back. I’m not clicking on the link but I’m also guessing that it’s going to ask for a credit card number, address, etc. The scam has nothing to do with the car and nobody...

It’s not the MS that will ground you, it’s the treatments and the medicine they give you to counteract the effects of the treatments that will end up disqualifying you. You can get a 1st class with MS but you need to be very careful and deliberate with how you treat and manage your disease. I...

I never understood why a realtors fee should be based on the value of the house. Is the work not the same when selling a house worth 100k vs 1 million? I would be far more willing to use a realtor next time I buy or sell if they had a flat fee for doing all the comps, pictures, listing, etc...

There is always something new to see and do to fill a week at Oshkosh. If I’m using vacation time from work and spending a small fortune to be there I’m certainly not volunteering to clean toilets nor am I spending years doing menial work just do get a chance to volunteer for something more...

You just need to read the last few paragraphs. Everything else is just griping about the company by a disgruntled employee. The bottom line is that he claims an order was inadvertantly written to open the door instead of remove the door ro replace a seal and therefore no order was written to...
