    Available fuel in a Piper

    Try it on a Piper with 4 tanks. I only ran a tank dry once - on my first full day as a pilot after my checkride. :redface: It's really hard to use up all of the fuel when you have 84 gallons. The lowest I ever got it was when a fill up was 56 gallons, meaning I had over an hour and a...

    "New" computer for my mom

    We considered a Chromebook for the "challenged" GF. Ex: She only knows getting Email from Yahoo Mail on the web and freaks when the page is different. Looking at one the dreaded Best Buy, I thought it was too app limited - Email is GMail on the web only. I talked her into trying a tablet...

    Dash Camera

    Reverse that. Russian (trucks) are required to have dash cams. Based one the multitudes of videos of scumbags jumping into stopped cars, I would have one in any case. Who knew that Russia went so capitalist they have phoney personal injury lawsuits (and insurance claims?) On the...

    "Holy Crap!!" Is not the best choice of words...

    Nah. You do the Sky King, "Coming in a for landing." As opposed to coming in for a beer, I guess.

    KADS : "PAN PAN, I've crashed and we can't get out"

    The door adds weight and negatively affects the fuselage integrity. I'll trade the door for some more structure....on second thought in my old age I can use a door on my side.

    I ordered one from UGH bestbuy.com for free store pickup. Evidently they have the exclusive to the Navy color. Woot. Per usual I expect that I'll spend more time in line to pick it up than I would have to just find one and buy it.

    :lol: I flew yesterday in the 20 degrees F and gusty winds in my Cherokee 235. I could have done climb easily. I had to make an effort to keep the sucka below the Bravo.

    Sold car now police knocking at my door

    I just got a violation notice from a red light camera scam - wrong car, but with a plate that almost duplicates mine. The good news for you is the scam system, all run by the camera vendor, has an affidavit form that has a checkbox "[] I no longer own the car (attach proof)" but in interest...
