Have had good luck with this stuff (Aircraft Spruce). Recommended by another Flight Design owner. Windshield and entire plane are "plastic". Slippery, waxed feel afterwards... easy to apply. I water/soap "wash" the plane beforehand, however, the product can be used as the "wash" as well, which...

What a cool thing to do... need more people like this out there in the world

Was staying in Hawaii years ago... couldn't sleep, looked out the balcony window and saw a young man sitting on the edge of the roof next door (very close to me) with his legs dangling over... I called the front desk, to call the police. Sure enough, it was a suicide in progress. The people...

Best of GA... perfect

That's you ? Holy cow man... can't think of a more dangerous job. Great pilotage.

Overall, I like the aviation Youtubers... Have learned a lot from their experiences, the audio (ATC interaction) and I believe it helps promote General Aviation -- a lot, especially among the younger crowd who are figuring out what kind of plane and mission (Trent Palmer vs the Bonanza around...

ADSB is a valuable safety tool... saved me lots of times. For ex. taking off and there was a plane coming right at me using the opposite runway for a practice approach... he did not advise he was coming until I heard the "traffic"/"traffic" call out by the Dynon... He called when we were no...

GREAT post... love the pics. General Aviation is the best.

Here is a pretty good article on the subject... https://www.lexology.com/library/detail.aspx?g=74ab3d88-fea7-47f5-860a-d95f4f09cc0e I hope I made the article clickable... At the top, the writer (lawyer) speaks about UCC filings as a belt and suspender (and it is), near the bottom, the writer...

I think we agree the UCC filing does nothing to cover the airframe or the engine. A UCC filing does impair assets (machinery, boats, planes, receivables, etc.), meaning, there will be a lien out there attached to the plane's serial number. And the title will most definitely be "clouded". If...

Lenders are well known to apply both belts and suspenders to things. Bottom line, you have received great advice here. Get an escrow agent to handle the money/lien release exchange once you sold the plane. Your escrow agent should pull up the registrations/lien filings and figure out who to...

A house has a mortgage... a plane, and other equipment, etc... has a "UCC-1" security interest lien instrument. When your plane is sold, the loan has to be paid off simultaneously. The Lender won't allow the plane to be sold unless the Lender is paid off - first. And when that occurs, the...

Brian, no, I didn't intend to reveal the chart legend, it was actually driving me crazy, nor did I know how to ask for help in the Foreflight database... "how do I get rid of the Sectional chart in the middle of the map?" probably wouldn't work... appreciate your post. I did see the NOTAM...

Going with Dad will be a blast... and yes I wish I had IFR plane capability and a certification, one day...

Just signed up for that webinar, thank you for sending the link ! That's a creative clothes line...

Good point about the beer... didn’t think that one through... food too... it’s vacation so I plan to eat a lot and often.. how easy is it to buy a pack of beer and ice while staying at the campground ? It must be cool working with those aviation icons. I saw Bud Anderson speak once.

Rain coat and baby wipes...; )... got it ! Thanks guys...

Yes, I think the OSH experience requires the camping program...; )... have a tent, sleeping bag, mat, chair, need to plan the other stuff... The Flight Design has a decent baggage compartment for an overnight flight (110 lbs in the back), however, it doesn't have a lot of room, so I will remove...

Another clarification, I plan on flying 8-9 hours on leg 1, target arrival is "KETB", near OSH, resting up, fueling up, and then flying the short leg in the early AM). I don't know why the foreflight is showing first a Majenta line, then a blue one... never seen that before, I'm sure I toggled...

Wow, thanks for all the comments and advice... to clarify the "Wednesday", sorry... I meant Wednesday -- during show week. I am debating leaving say Friday, arriving early Saturday AM, or, leaving on Tuesday during show week, arriving Weds during the show (my pal told me that the arrivals are...
