    Voluntary (calcium) heart scan - what am I risking?

    I recently had my CAC scan done. Out of an abundance of caution, I waited until after passing my medical at age 39 to ensure no issues. I wasn't concerned about the mandatory testing Bruce cited above for higher levels. At my age, any score above zero is a concern. If my level was 13, that...

    Okay, so what would a low-cost airplane look like?

    Just a couple of years ago, the tag line for aero trek was "LSA not 100k". They were $89k. Now $130k. Thanks inflation.

    How to complete Bill of Sale when seller is LLC

    Thanks everyone for the replies. I am the buyer. I know exactly how it is listed on the paperwork for the purchase; however, the way the FAA bill of sale paperwork is completed, it looks different from the buyer side. Hence, I'm still wondering the question above: Is the appropriate format...

    How to complete Bill of Sale when seller is LLC

    So are you saying "name of seller" is [your name] and then "title" is [member, LLC name]?

    You should probably care if you are fuel planning with incorrect information.

    Voluntary (calcium) heart scan - what am I risking?

    As a physician, I can see a legitimate use for the test in the OP's case. If it is going to be useful in making decisions about future risk factor reduction, then it could be worth it. For example, if the result of the test would change whether or not you start statin therapy for risk reduction...

    Voluntary (calcium) heart scan - what am I risking?

    Bruce, can you share where you got this information? I've seen you post this before, but when I asked my RFS office about this specifically, they said to just indicate that the test was done "routinely and for preventative reasons." I.e. it wasn't done as part of a workup for chest pain, so it's...

    Cessna 150 fuel stick

    The fact that this "stik" doesn't even list the proper amount of usable fuel is telling.

    Cessna 150 fuel stick

    There are no commercially available sticks. If you join the Cessna 150 club (best money a 150 owner can spend), they have an old newsletter with instructions on how to make an accurate one from a paint stick. It is based on usable fuel.

    What is the best way to study for the Instrument Written Test?

    If it's that painful, you're doing it right. Try to make some peace with the stupid HSI questions - eventually you get the pattern of what they are trying to ask. You'll get there, but it's a horrible grind.

    Removing old King Radio

    Some of these old radios can be really difficult to pull out.... If you can push from the back it is much easier. Otherwise, I have had to remove adjacent avionics just to get them out

    I’m calling the peak

    Just my anecdotal observation, but it feels like the market has cooled down a bit. The crazy high prices are staying on the market, and more reasonable deals seem to pop up. Personal pet peeve with listings: "I have $xx invested into this airplane."

    Fly The Transition Relaunch

    I love the podcast and have been awaiting its return! Also I respect your decision to do less editing/journalist style and just interview. The quality was very high, but I can't imagine how much time that must have taken you.

    Strength of GA?

    Sounds like you have talked yourself out of it before ever doing anything to get started.

    Anyone build a Zenith 701 lately?

    The 701 kit is very much less advanced, as you might expect. So there aren't many matched holes - it's a lot of measuring and lining pieces up together. You might ask yourself - are you really attracted to the 701 kit or just the price? There are those that love the 701 because it is somewhere...

    Cessna 150 Elevator outer hinge/bushing

    This happened to my 150 at last annual. The only cost effective solution is replacing the elevator. To fix the attach bracket that the bushing wore through, the skin has to be removed, making a repair not cost effective. I managed to pick up a scrap yard elevator for about $300, plus another...
