short of a face to face for cash, you accept some risk. I have sold quite a few very expensive items online without the problems you describe. If your concerned, you might have the UPS store package it, ship it and insure it. Years ago I had to make a claim against UPS. I had some trouble...

$20-30k doesn’t sound low to me. I guess you have to compare that to the $40-60k 172. They have a limited market and limited usefulness.

In my case a long time (~6 months) passed between my exam and a letter from the FAA asking about my sleep apnea. I could see how one could get pretty far into PPL training before this comes up. Luckily my case was easily resolved as reporting that was a mistake on the part of the examiner.

My plane has a copy of the numbers in the owners manual.

Clear as mud that you’re not talking about the annual.

We get aviators breathing O2 from the welding supplier. Its not expensive to just get your own set-up if you have the space. You will be able to get full charges for a while but eventually would will need a booster to top off your portable. ASSuming your portable bottles are the same size as...

Growing up we had bees. The keepers I knew would be more than happy to haul them off at no charge. I believe honey bee numbers are in serious decline.

This topic is timely. Made me double check my own mags. They were way past 500hrs. Yanked them off for OH last night.

I think that lines up the the lack of a skid mark. This looks like it hit the ground flat and hard with little or no forward speed. Thats assuming that stalling it with the engine out is the most likely way to stop the prop.

Call me crazy but I swear my G model has better climb than an M I would rent. It felt like a pig when I switched back to it. I feel the difference between the O-300 and the 320 is greatly exaggerated online. Yeah I would like a faster plane. But mine does it current job well.

To be fair, I think most of the A&Ps I work with could not explain those things well.

Have a mechanic remove the wings and trailer it.

The key to 5-guys is getting the little burgers IMO. The regular (double) is too greasy for me as well. Its my favorite chain burger, as it’s the most similar to what I would cook in the backyard. Loads of fresh toppings on a more plain bun. Fancy burgers often served in restaurants with lots...

I have found more than a couple bullet holes in roofs. In fact my own house was hit 2x over new years. Could have been totally random.

nearly every single diesel I can think of will emit black smoke when full power is applied in that manner. New stuff has particulate filters which make is much less visible. Maybe tuning questions remain, but smoke alone doesn’t indicate a problem. Now the engine cutoff issue they had is a real...

There are groups that go with that. I believe they call it right to travel. Its worth a google.

:D I had that same struggle in training. CFI was not a farm boy and bot impressed. :D

I guess you very well could be right on that thought. I realize I only have the same view on YouTube as everyone else. It seemed to me that it was pretty clear what this aircraft was all about on their first visit in December. The changes that he’s made over time over their list of squawks has...

I have to say that I am not impressed with the professionalism of the flight crew. It seems they could have addressed that on day 1.

I put a new pair of lens in mine, very easy and $25 from ebay. The color is a little different though, I am tempted to try a different ebay vendor.
