    Prescott Pusher

    If you do a little research the talk was that the performance and handling were bad.

    Raptor Aircraft

    I hung out over there for a little while and never took any personal shots but my posts were being removed by the moderators anyway. POA is perhaps too lenient at times but HBA is totally too far the other direction.

    Consumer SUV and eVTOL...is it realistic?

    https://www.askafly.com/ My take: 250 mile range for a small electric plane is science fiction

    Brand new RV-10 N783V first flight emergency

    The G5 way off to the right doesn't help much if the EFIS tanks. Ideally the backup instruments are closer to the field of vision.

    Cirrus approach transition training

    hard pass. I did the training and flew SR22s for about 50 hours back in the late otties. If you already own and are building too that is just $ right down the drain. I also don't think an SR20 is comparable to your eventual RV10 (20 is underpowered for starters)

    Quick summary of the this latest and most of the Raptor videos: my hacked up auto conversion doesn't work.

    Looong XC Concerns

    Just trying to keep flyers from making the inevitable post in the future "please help me get my GF to fly with me" or "what can be done to get the wife to fly with me". If you got them hooked during dating like I did you have vaccinated yourself against the potential virus on your flying hobby

    Has anyone ever taken builder classes?

    I took the EAA SportAir avionics class. It was a bust.

    Airnav's "operations per day"

    Various automated means have been attempted for non-towered airports over the years: 1) microphone near the runway: can't determine single vs/twin vs jet 2) camera: not fully automated, wildlife walks in front of it 3) TCAS interrogator: not every plane has a transponder, same limitations as #1

    Raptor Aircraft

    The high horsepower auto conversions that I've seen over the years, even if initially an engineering success - and I don't put the Raptor in this category - all seem to suffer the following problems: - high insurance $, if you can even get it - no interest from the original engine maker in...

    Giant and frequent ForeFlight downloads

    Yes, I suspect someone in my area will ruin the unlimited-downloads good times for the rest of us by setting up some kind of a server or maybe something illegal.

    Well that was exciting

    You found a pilot induced problem, solved it, learned it from it. You'd doing great!
