We have one in the Citabria....have never had a problem with it. Ditto the GDL50 in the 182....both sit on the glare shields. Jim

I did some criminal computer forensics for LE.... trust me, it's hammer*-time. Jim * or equivalent

Heck....you've got your data, so life is relatively good! Had a thought. There's a place on the MS site where you can download an .iso of a full copy of Win10. You could burn that to a CD and try a re-install with the option to keep your settings. Not sure if it will be happy with your...

You could always just dedicate the internal hard drive to Windows, and boot Linux off an external USB drive. If you have USB3.0 ports, and use an external SSD, it might actually boot faster than your internal HD. Are you really running a 10-year-old PC? :) ....or just the dual-boot strategy...

We all know just enough to be dangerous...sadly. I feel your pain...I do this sort of thing to myself regularly. Do I understand correctly that the Win 10 'recovery USB'....won't? Depending on your expertise, you could boot to a Linux (Mint is easy) USB stick, which would let you see the...

X-Plane.... https://www.x-plane.com/kb/linux-installation-walkthrough/ The short course....load your OS...I've used Ubuntu or Mint. Download the installer from the x-plane site. Run that installer and you' ll end up with a fully-functional copy of X-Plane 11, limited only by 10 minutes of...

Saw thaaaaaat coming...only question was 'who?'. LOL!

Easy decision tree here. My (younger) wife gave me a BFR in my Citabria on our first date. If she won't do it any more....it's time :-) Jim

Yup, two of my three linked sim boxes are running on Linux Mint...an Ubuntu derivitive. The only reason the third one isn''t is the RXP GTN add-on. It requires Garmin Trainer in the background, which is strctly Winders. Linux is more efficient, IMHO.

I've powered my (admittedly minimalist) switch panel from an Arduino. I was just looking for the switches that make real-world sense...DG, HSI, autopilot, etc. Running the GTNs on a touchscreen or ipad saves a lot of hassle button-wise. Didn't care to spend the time soldering more. One of...

Careful....it can get out of hand..... XPlane 11 on... Master (win10) i5-9600k@4.5 Z390-a 16G-RAM 1080FTW EVGA-CLC Redbird-controls 50"-4k TV homebrew switch panel SSDs Left / right wings (mint 20.2)...my first store bought XP computer!...XForcePC RTX box 2x50"-4K TVs SSDs Dev / IOS...

Yeahbut....back then I was ALWAYS off-course...then I'da been off-course, off-heading :-) I remember doing it that way tho!...good call!

Related remembrance.... Back in the 70's, I had a grass strip with arguably one of the best navaids ever. Base leg to 36 was over the pool behind Lock and Dam 13 on the Mississippi River...an 8 mile across pool of water. General procedure for returning home was 1) grab about the right heading...

Bad Attitude Aviation @ 4g4....Decathlon/Extra/Pitts Red Stewart field @ 40I....Stearman/Citabria/Champ/Cub/TCart (yes, they rent the PT17) Both also do aerobatics... recommend both. Jim

The R182 is an 1986...ex-FBI. The 7ECA is a '73...rebuilt in 2000 with all-metal wings. Jim SOrry for not cropping the photos...I suk! :-)

Well THAT certainly took longer than I expected :) I've done a LOT of reading on that subject, Rich. The perception of risk all boils down to who you believe, I guess. Figures don't lie, but liars figure :) We have a radon detector in the house, and as lifetime non-smokers, we're both...

Great information, Gary!...thank you! Honeywell was the vendor for our heat pump, and they actually make an electronic air cleaner that looks to be a slide-in replacement for our filter (with comparable back pressure). Comes with it's own pre-filter for $550-ish. Sounds like that may be just...

We monitor constantly, and keep the humidity level between 45 and 50 percent (using the dehumidifier, if not the HRV). So far, things have been ok. Thanks! Jim

6'-4" and 6'-0" co-pilots. Before we got our R182 we sat in most of the GA aircraft, and it fit us best. We've had it to both coasts and FL from Ohio, comfortably. I'm the 6'-4", with a 33" inseam, and she banished me to the back seat one day. It was also quite pleasant, actually. Jim PS-...
