    Hangar Monthly Rent

    Let me know how you like the airport. I've never flown into there being based all the way across the country in California. But, we may retire to New Hampshire someday and wanted to get a hangar if that ever happens. Purchased it in the beginning of this year and renting it out in the meantime.

    Anyone Fly RC Planes?

    I flew RC for a while. Only Electric, and mainly balsa. Some own-design and scratch built, some from plans, some kits. A few foamies thrown in for kicks. Even had some of my models featured in a couple of issues of Flying Scale Models. Haven't built or flown any RC in years, pretty much gave it...

    Furnace Creek L06 in Death Valley runway PIREP anyone?

    Thanks for the PIREP and pictures. It's been advertised as much worse than that. Apprexiate the picts. Was there any wildflower action from all the rains?

    No Pirep, but please share yours when you get back. I'm very curious about the state of the runway.

    Letter to the FAA re Digital Clock for IFR

    My first question when I see people doing things like sending this letter to the FAA: What problem does it solve? My second thought:

    Hangar as an investment?

    Interesting question that I'm about to find an answer to. We live in California and rent a hangar at San Jose International. However, my recently graduated son has decided to live in New Hampshire. He loves New England, has a job in NH, and is getting married next year to his long term...

    So many jokes..

    I got some info from a friend of the owner. The plane is on the the rental list at Advantage Aviation. Evidently the thief tried to steal a plane adjacent to the one that was stolen -- covers and tie downs removed, but that plane had a dead battery. The thief then moved on to N446AC, removed...

    Starter not disengaged

    I wouldn't fly until a mechanic has diagnosed the problem. What would concern me is that somehow the starter was engaged when you last flew the plane. Questions I would be asking are, how did the starter get engaged after or during last shutdown? Did that occur somehow while the engine was...

    Cozy mark iv down near half moon bay

    Taking off from Half Moon Bay at night pretty much requires using one's instruments even if severe clear. My wife and I did that one night, took off from 30, turned left towards the water (and away from the hills). I was ready for it, but wow there were no visual cues at all. Everything in front...

    Being based at an airport that doesn’t sell fuel?

    Sure about that? Raising the gear before landing will guarantee at least one gear up! :) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

    Do you regularly run tanks (aux) dry?

    Yes, I run tanks dry on long cross country flights. I don't want to end up in a situation with a little bit of fuel in multiple tanks. My Viking has 3 tanks: Left main, right main, and Aux. The mains in the wings each have 34.5 gal usable, and the aux tank between the rear seat and the baggage...

    Teach me about prop dings

    Are you sure that' a scratch and not a bug carcass? Maybe try cleaning it off, perhaps with a scotch pad? I've seen similar things on the back of my prop which cleaned right off with a little elbow grease.

    Because all software sucks. . .

    True words. And just wait till you get SW managers trying to apply "agile" to Hardware development. Oh my goodness. Grrr. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro
