Do you use any kind of lining on the inside to keep the tin foil from chaffing your scalp?

Hmm... Makes me wonder, have you had an antibody test at any point?

I'm using my 3D printer to make a CNC milling machine. It ain't gonna mill metal very well, but I figure I might be able to use it for some woodworking projects.

Step 1. Get a 3rd class medical. There isn't much point in doing anything else if you can't get a medical. Next I would email all the flying club CFI's. Joining a flying club will usually provide the most flexibility in terms of schedule and will often be the cheapest option available.

I jumped into getting the commercial done immediately after finishing my instrument ticket. I didn't have a solo flight in my book that met the requirements for the commercial long cross country so I flew from NJ to Fl to visit my sister. I filed IFR both ways but I had great weather. The flight...

I think it really depends on the plane in question and the pilot in question. I'm not exactly low time but my twin time is extremely low and not at all recent. If I got on here tomorrow and announced that a distant uncle died and left me a large fortune and I was now in the market for a good...

Yes you can get with a CFI and just work on the maneuvers. And yep you can read the books to learn the knowledge portion without taking the written. But I could never do that because I know there is no way I'd bring the same focus and put the same amount of effort into the process if I knew all...

FWIW, my comments were based on my experiences. Granted my Mooney experience was ages ago and things could be different now. But back in the early aughts I partnered in a late 60's C model. At one point the other partner in that plane got the opportunity to partner in a 90's Ovation. He was...

Older 172? VFR only? Ebay is your friend. Used audio panel/intercom, used radio, keep the transponder and tail beacon you already have. If you want to splurge you can add a used non-waas 430. That gives a vast improvement over where you are now for not a ton of cash and will probably provide...

That's a high performance retract with $100k+ hull value and you're a recently minted private pilot (I assume no Instrument rating). You might want to get some insurance quotes before you get too far into the tire kicking process. The rates may surprise you.

I'm always amazed at the effort some people go to block out tail numbers in videos like this. Its as if they don't know that google exists. Took me exactly 15 seconds to find a link. https://aviation-safety.net/wikibase/238351

By and large the hardware is not much of an issue these days. That being said, I bought a cheap low end printer specifically because I wanted something I could modify and tinker with. And yes, on that machine you'll end up having to change out a few minor things like fans and bed springs because...

I suspect you're correct. But I didn't mention lawn services or dog walkers. More than one cash-only person I've known worked in a business that produced at least some amount of paper trail. But like most cash-only people I've known, they only reported a fraction of what they actually made.

Well I can't speak for the general population, but I can tell you why I personally tend to make that assumption. I've known my fair share of individuals who worked in cash-heavy or cash-only occupations. Of those I've known, the number who reported their income accurately to the IRS was more or...

I'm not a member of that us group and likely never will be.

Becoming a DPE is like getting a license to print money.

Interesting. The skydive outfit I used to work for had a high time Twin Otter and we had to have someone come in and do eddy current the wing rivets in order to keep it compliant. I don't recall the test interval, but I believe there was an interval. Which makes sense. We were testing because it...

Question. Now that your plane has passed, what interval if any, does the AD require retesting?
