    Do you call when you're the unknown traffic

    Don't open the can of worms. Let them do what they are going to do without involving you. From experience, I have learned to play dumb.

    Avgas Prices Now?

    $7.21 at KSMN! While I think about it more, it really hasn't decreased my flying too much. But, I have been pretty busy lately anyway.

    Concrete circles marking old airfields

    Quite interesting, I do a lot of flying in the backcountry of Idaho. At Fish Lake there is a concrete circle, roughly mid field in the middle of the runway. I wonder if it was something like you have there?

    Giving rides

    A couple of kids, high school age or just a bit older, stopped outside the fence today and asked how much to take them for a ride. I've never thought about it before. I have a rough idea of what my per flight hour costs, but I also just go bore holes in the sky some days. Seems like for just a...

    What is the best way to block tail number keeping it hidden from public tracking?

    Mine is set to anonymous, ATC at KEGE couldn't identify me, but other airplanes in the area called me out by tail number, they said I showed up on their traffic with my tailnumber. I have also been called by tail number from the tower at KGJT, while squawking 1200 with it set on anonymous.

    Got a good laugh at someone driving alone wearing a mask

    I once saw a guy flying an RV6, by himself with a mask on! But, it was a tricycle gear plane, so there is that!

    PIREPs on TacAero tailwheel training?

    I do not like places that quote a hard number. But then I think I learn faster than most. I'm the one that ends needing less time, someone else needs all the time, but we both pay the same amount. I did my tailwheel endorsement in a Pacer, no flaps. I was signed of with, IIRC, less than 3...

    uAvionics TailBeacon T/S experience?

    Throw it in the trash and save yourself the hassles of dealing with it. I wish I had done that, the next time it craps out I'm going to destroy so no one else can ever waste their time with it.

    Oil burn...What are your numbers?

    I did not notice any reduction of oil dripping from the breather. Oil looked cleaner on the stick, but after draining at 31 hours for annual, I am not sure its any cleaner than 100. I am putting 100 back in, it will be interesting to see if I notice any difference after two oil changes with 20-50.

    EarthX STC approved!

    If the battery can't handle the heat when mounted on the firewall, the STC should contain the information and parts to install the blast tube. The STC for the battery does not apparently limit its mounting location, perhaps it should? This is exactly why I will wait until all the bugs are worked...

    What were YOU doing at 14 y/o?

    14 was the first summer of my 38 year framing career. Made enough money to retire and take a flying job.

    Why is there not a both fuel selector in low wing GA aircraft

    You want an extra pump, then solenoids to operate check valves, automatically operated solenoids at that. Before your system is finished, several pages will be added to a POH, several pounds of extra crap will be added, NUMEROUS failure points will be introduced, etc... Ever fly a modern jet or...
