Go to Millionaire. It’s a real nice FBO and it’s not too pricey - just buy fuel to mitigate the handling charge just like you should at any busy airport. Have your A-game on flying in there. Everybody is ‘friendly’ but NY Approach doesn’t suffer fools gladly. None of us are fools but missing...

This happened to my Maule while parked at Lakeland for Sun & Fun and few years ago. They just picked a random spot on the wing and formed a bag-o-bees that was about 18” long and 8-10” in diameter. Freaked me the f**k out! After a lot of bouncing around for advice and such, and a few trips out...

Wilson at KCLT is one of my favorite FBOs. The physical facility is nice but it’s all about the people and management. It became a fav when they were operating out of a temporary shack waiting for their current building to be completed. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Same here. Very standard procedure. At my ‘port, the approach controllers at KRDU will work hard to get you in with vectors. I typically file KRDU as the alternate but often indicate my out is one of the other ‘approachable’ strips nearby. With the newer LPV approaches, I give up little...

I’m just sending an old pair in today... after receiving my new A20s a couple of weeks ago. The note about getting your new ones first is probably a recent change as you suggest. I’ve sent 3 emails and rec’d 3 replies just trying understand how this rebate works. They ask you to fill...

I’m thinking that the Nelson my qualify under today’s interpretation of the 51% rule, dunno. If you are trying to play tricks with rules - you may get denied. Saving decaying certificated hulls by rebuilding them as experimental is playing tricks (for now anyway). Conversely, pulling a data...

I’ll 2nd Fernandez Bay Villages as well. We stayed there some years ago when it may have been configured a bit differently as a resort. We accidentally ran into an AOPA touring group and ran around with them for a few days. Pics in some old AOPA mag issue. We always feel safe and comfortable...

I see. Haven’t been keeping up. Glad we made a move when we did. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro

I would have no worries. We did some out-island travel at end of June to July though we didn’t get to Cat. The islands are more deserted than usual though there were a few people ‘stuck’ there because commercial flights were limited or unavailable. Masks were required in all stores...

Along that same line, you might have a pneumatic switch in the static line (to bypass blockage of the external ports) that has been opened. You might not notice except or this effect on the AP. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro

...and then you have these The Maule was never easy to get a good landing in - greasers were 1/12 or worse. At the end of my time with her, I flew at least 2 TOs & landings a day for 2 months. Greasers were experienced maybe 1/3 of the time but it was random. Then started flying the RV10...

Just ordered a replacement pair. Have to be careful about ordering the right cable and option. I’ll be getting (2) with the 6 pin & BT. I’ll be trading in (2) with 6 pin after 9 years of use. They have served well with a refurbishment mid-life. The powered sets are a real convenience so I...
