    Oil is down 18% in the last 30 days. When will it be reflected in avgas pricing?

    It moves up faster, because they have to have the money to buy more when their tank runs out. If they didn’t raise their prices now, they couldn’t afford the fuel that is already selling at a high price. When the price drops, they don’t follow it as fast because they would be selling at a loss...

    Yeah, kind of. I think panel or floor is more intuitive, but ceiling isn’t a big learning curve. With panel or floor, the top of the wheel turns toward the nose, it goes down. Away from the nose and it goes up. I never had to think about it there. On the roof, it takes a little getting used to...

    I just think that sweeping from back to front on left side is down, and reverse is up. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Nice looking plane! I thought it would take a lot longer to get used to the trim on the ceiling, but it didn’t. I have already logged 19 hours in her in the last 3 weeks. She’s a great flyers and I’m really happy. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Yep, it all comes down to the DPE. I’ve seen it argued both ways and in the end, the DPE opinion is the only one that counts Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Using this article explaining the new guidance from the FAA, I think my setup qualifies https://www.aopa.org/training-and-safety/active-pilots/safety-and-technique/operations/technically-advanced-airplanes All the PFD requirements are on the G5s. Both are visible at all times, the 430 moving...

    Because it has the G5’s, the 430 and a 2axis autopilot, it qualifies as a TAA for the commercial requirement. At least that’s my understanding. I could be wrong, but I think it meets the regulation. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Seeing as how the 430 is older (and I occasionally get the memory battery low warning), I will probably be upgrading it in the next couple of years. Going to work on the upholstery at the next annual, so maybe the following year I’ll put in an IFD 440, a Garmin 650 or something similar. I’ll get...

    Renting sucks if you really want to fly. Mine isn’t a speed demon but a step up from the Tecnam p92 I rented for training. Definitely a ton more comfortable! I figured to take the plunge while interest rates were still low. Adventures coming soon Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    The Sarcoma Foundation has a research project where they are using CRISPR +CAS9 to turn the mutated form of Ewing’s that is drug resistant back into the treatable version. It’s pretty amazing stuff. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Wayne and Melanie are two of my very good friends. We've known each other for 6 years when he came to visit my son, Beckett, who had just been diagnosed with Stage 4 Ewing's Sarcoma. It was 2 weeks after his diagnosis and he had just started chemo and was having another infection. He was...
