It's supposed to stay above 20* tonight in Chattanooga. Isn't that the pre-heat temp for Continental and Lycoming? ;) In a prior Cirrus we plugged in the engine warmer anytime it was below either 40* or 50* (I forget). Also threw a sleeping bag over the cowl to help hold in the heat. Just...

He's stingy and doesn't want to share. ;) Which I'm thankful for. :)

I'm thinking noon local, 12 pm EST. That will let it warm up a little bit for everyone. It looks like it will be sunny, but chilly.

Looking pretty good so far. Supposed to be "sunny" tomorrow. KATL 071352Z 32013KT 10SM FEW020 BKN250 M02/M07 A3023 RMK AO2 SLP244 T10171067 KATL 071339Z 0714/0818 32010G15KT P6SM SKC FM071800 33010KT P6SM SKC FM080600 04004KT P6SM SKC FM081500 10008G15KT P6SM SKC KCHA 071353Z 34006KT...

Ok, checking in with everyone. Who's still in? Is GMU - Greenville Downtown - Runway Cafe good? There's a large round table in the back corner that should work. What time? 11:30 am, noon, 12:30 pm? What works? I'm flying Cirrus N551SR.

^ This I can tell you takes much longer to build the first item from plans than the 4th, even more time when designing and building the first ever. I could easily see that in my woodworking, which is much simpler than what they are doing. Even with detailed plans the first one took noticeably...

We don't expect everyone to know every airport identifier, but these are the spots we go to often for a $100 Hamburger, so people in the area know them. I would not expect someone from outside the area to know them. I wouldn't expect someone in Texas to know any of them as Texas isn't in the...

Anyone up for a lunch meet-up? This coming Saturday, January 8th. Current forecast is nice; who knows how long that forecast will last. I was going to do an Angel Flight mission, but it canceled. GMU - Runway Cafe, or somewhere else. I'm open.

Certainly looks bigger in the video. Still looks like it would be tight for two carry-on bags, but definitely looks bigger than in the picture. Luggage weight shouldn't be a problem.

Mine for last year:

The lack of luggage space is my biggest concern too. My wife and I pack fairly light, but I think we’d exceed the tiny space in the Dark Aero. Otherwise I like the plane and have enjoyed following their work. I think retractable gear will get some other people as well.

The problem isn't the whole battery pack dying, but rather a cell or two going bad and Tesla doesn't want to repair it. They just want to replace the entire battery pack. Worse though is the car in the article had two bad cells and the repair coat was $5,000. I think they said it was around...

Location. Experience. Ability to teach. CSIPs (Cirrus) in a big city cost a lot more than young and new CFI in a rural area. I paid an older gentleman with tons of experience $100/hr for Baron instruction; in Atlanta, and he had an office at PDK, which is where the Baron was hangared. I pay...

There is at least one shop, with two locations, that will replace the bad cells instead of the entire battery. As more EVs are built and more of them get older, expect more shops and options for replacing bad cells instead of the entire battery pack.

I usually have some cash, but often twenties as that's what ATMs spit out, plus whatever is left over from my last purchase. When we're going on a trip I don't spend anything but twenties for a while beforehand and save all the smaller stuff. Then I have 5's and 10's for tipping and singles...

Having a blast! My wife just retired at the end of August. She's already in that mode. Plays tennis at least twice a week; practice and matches. Works out with me in the morning, and then does a boot camp workout some days. Occasionally she works out with me, then boot camp and tennis in...

Not that different; these numbers are from 2011 (so add 10 years of inflation); article. According to MoneySense.ca, the average cost of raising a child to age 18 is a whopping $243,660. Break down that number, and that’s $12,825 per child, per year -- or $1,070 per month. And that's before you...

$15k a year for two kids? o_O LOL Not even close.
