    I’m calling the peak

    We also had a Laser 28 and had the same experience-kinda like the little Laser on steroids. Back on topic, I'd say the peak call is correct.

    Connecting an Aera 660 to a JPI 830 EDM

    Appendix D of the Aera manual has the interconnect information. Try selecting NMEA Out, at the correct baud on the connected Aera serial port, then try switching between normal and fast modes. From Appendix D it looks like it's possible that if you have aviation in selected for the Aera that...

    N720RP 3 Fatalities in West Virginia

    Yes, convective activity is not to be messed with with light GA planes. I wouldn't even consider intentionally flying into a storm in a specially modified plane: https://ztresearch.blog/tag/t-28-storm-penetrating-aircraft/

    100LL Debacle

    Well the forces working to get rid of 100LL are alive and well in S. Cali. This sign is posted on the entrance to my city owned airport. Note the organization named at the bottom. It's not a governmental organization but I suspect it gets quite a bit of public funding, and interesting CV of...

    L88 (New Cuyama) Airport Help

    A little fund raising program to get L88 reopened for operations. It's a nice out of the way airport to check out the location of an infamous Youtube parachute video or grab a bite to eat. https://kindest.com/445222-reopen-l88

    This excerpt from the BBC article about pressure on the experiment team sounds as if it could apply to some recent Boeing programs, Raptor, and others- The report also said the experiment team "had a high workload and there was pressure on them to achieve a long duration demonstration flight by...

    EAGLE Leadership Posts Unleaded Avgas Update...

    No surprise on the "depth" of the update and lack of progress but it's reassuring to know they are working on it. At least there was mention of the G100UL and a picture it. The comments at the bottom of the article are also interesting.

    Cessna 150L alternator issue

    O-200 engine? I just had to replace the alternator on my O-200 and spruce had the parts for the coupling. If the gear and sleeve are trashed then the $2600 all in is not far out of line. I didn't need the gear or sleeve thankfully...

    2009 Ford Focus, Keep or Replace?

    Basically with all of the time required for the farming equipment maintenance and operations I didn't want to hassle with the wife's car. We sold the farm (sounds much better than bought the farm on a flying forum) and moved to the big city, hence the change in dealerships. Our new place...

    Annual Fees?

    In Cali. if you have a plane of "historical significance" and exhibit it 12 or more times a year you are exempt from the property tax. At least that's a minor loophole for those of us with planes of a certain age.

    Annual Fees?

    Your county assessor will send you a questionnaire form to fill out that they use to determine the tax basis. As schmookeeg said in post 19 the property tax will be close to 1% of the valuation. If for some reason they don't get the form back, they will assign a valuation themselves (don't ask...

    2009 Ford Focus, Keep or Replace?

    Thanks for the replies. Maintenance history on the car is oil changed every 5K miles vs. 7.5K in the maintenance guide. All service done at the dealer, but unfortunately Ford dealers use their own service intervals instead of the one in the factory guide so the fluid changes etc. were at...
