    N/A Tipping

    Mob run.business here in CT. No incentive to do anything but the bare minimum as there is no competition allowed other than bringing the trash yourself to the transfer station.

    N/A Tipping

    Ours won’t get out of the truck if the can isn’t reachable by the arm. If the recycling can is too close and they can’t grab it they won’t even move it over a foot and will just skip the house that week

    N/A Tipping

    There is a difference between a tip and a gift. Outside resteraunts I only tip if someone is providing a service and went above and beyond somehow. I’m not tipping the garbage man that sits in a truck all day just picking up trash cans with a claw and not providing anything above what I...

    Non aviation career shift/ mid life crisis

    I would just say to be careful of basing your business only off the highly locative jobs. If they are that easy and that profitable then someone is going to come in and try to under bid you. If all you agree to are the easy jobs companies may not have you as their first call when they need...

    Tesla Pickup Unveil

    The tesla truck isn't for "real truck owners". Its target market is the mom and pop segment who want a truck because their neighbors or friends have one and they like the idea of commuting in a large vehicle. They want something new and different and occasionally go to the hardware store to...

    An extraordinarily bizarre airspeed mystery that no A&P can solve

    You could be just a little further off than you were in the old pictures and not see it. The ball isn’t exactly a precision instrument.

    An extraordinarily bizarre airspeed mystery that no A&P can solve

    Were you there when the gps antenna was changed out? If not is there any possibility that someone or somehow the plane was damaged throwing something out of rig without it being obvious? One wheel pant a little more angled than the other because someone bumped it with a tool cart? A gear leg...

    (Piston) Engine Failure Rate: 1/3200 hrs, yikes!

    Pilots like to look at statistics and accident reports so they can justify to themselves that it must have been the pilot or there was something they would have done different if it was them. Almost every pilot in an accident thought before takeoff “it wouldn’t happen to me. I’m a better...

    Time for a new stove...

    Have you priced out the cost to get a propane tank and line installed? I want to get rid of our glass top stove and go to a fuel fuel setup but it’s going to be close to 2k just to run the propane. I totally detest glass top stoves as every one I have had ends up a scratched mess over time no...

    Sell my airplane now or wait

    If anything I think it will have a negative impact on the value of LSAs.

    Sell my airplane now or wait

    The problem with waiting for Mosaic is that when it passes, not only will there be more people able to buy your plane but there will also now be thousands of other planes available for them to consider purchasing. I would not count on Mosaic raising the value of your airplane as supply...

    Youtube Pilot and her dad perish in TN

    You have no way of knowing if any of her previous issues shown on youtube correlate at all to the accident. How do you know her dad didn’t have some sort of medical emergency or that there wasn’t an on board electrical fire or any of a hundred other causes? Instead people on this thread just...

    Youtube Pilot and her dad perish in TN

    So are you browsing YouTube right now for others with marginal flying skills and telling them or are you actually only interested in post accident discussion where the facts aren’t known and the pilot isn’t around to defend themselves?

    Youtube Pilot and her dad perish in TN

    Awful lot of assumptions going on in here. Yes she was behind the airplane in many videos and yes she had autopilot issues but way too many of you are all too quick to just jump to that as the cause. How do you know her dad didn’t have a heart attack and slumped over blocking the controls...

    N/A Sandals Resorts

    I have never stayed at a Sandals but have vacationed at a number of all inclusives owned by Riu. What makes Sandles so much different than other all inclusives to justify a cost 2-3x higher? Looking at the Riu vs Sandals in Jamaica the Riu is around 3k for 9 days while Sandals is just over...

    Vans Files For Chapter 11 Bankruptcy

    The risk is that those contracts get restructured, builders pay a bunch more money to stay in the line for a kit and then the company still goes under or is bought out and those new contracts are now worthless. I'm not building an RV but I wouldn't give the company any more money until my kit...

    Vans Files For Chapter 11 Bankruptcy

    Not true at all. The founder is retired and likely wants some protection for the money he is fronting the business. Chapter 11 puts him at the top of the creditor list if things go sideways. Second, chapter 11 allows them to break all the existing contracts they have with the builders as well...

    Vans Files For Chapter 11 Bankruptcy

    The product thrived at the current price point. Between the loss of reputation and the increase in kit costs Vans may survive in some capacity but will likely never be as big as they once were. Think about all the orders they are losing out on right now because of the situation they put...

    Trevor Jacob

    As long as his last medical was still good when it expired the FAA can’t do much of anything about him flying under sport pilot rules as long as he passed a sport pilot check ride again after the revocation.

    Vans Files For Chapter 11 Bankruptcy

    You can usually get away with a few oversized rivets but not large sections or whole panels as the designs already have most holes close to edge distance limits to still remain structurally sound. For unassembled parts a creative builder could use them as a template and make their own...
