    Honda generators

    Honda makes a wheel kit for the cheaper one. Its almost a necessity if you're moving it around alone. I bought their older version of the cheaper one about 15 years ago, its quiet and works very well.

    [rant]There is a place for a crock pot, love it[/rant]

    I love crockpot hamburgers the way my mother makes them.. Pan fry the burgers just to sear the outside, rare in the middle. Throw them in a crock pot with gravy and onions, let them cook for a couple hours. And now its not even 9am and I'm hungry.

    Heated Pitot Installation for Piper Cherokee 235

    Found the invoice from when I had a heated pitot installed on my 140 back in 2015 - "Install Customer Furnished Piper heated pitot tube, including wiring and 10 amp breaker switch. $250.00" I was having a GPS installed at the same time so the panel was going to be ripped apart anyways, not sure...

    Garmin gld39d pitch/roll preset?

    Is there a way with a GLD39D paired to a 796 to preset the pitch/roll (mainly pitch) for the attitude indicator display when the unit is turned on? It defaults to being level, that's fine for tricycle gear planes but in a tailwheel I've got to reset it when I get to straight and level flight...

    Coolest thing you saw at Oshkosh 2017

    Not the coolest, but it made me laugh. One of the massage chair displays had a sign hanging that said in large letters "LOCALLY MADE", and then in very small letters below that "In Japan".

    Toddler ear protection

    They learn pretty quickly to leave them on.. When my daughter was around 18 months I took her up, she pulled them off a few times on that first flight but figured out its much quieter wearing them. After 15 or 20 minutes she left them alone and fell asleep. My wife was with me and was able to...

    Parking question..

    Its generally closer to the main display area and center plaza so less walking or tram rides (and its a LOT closer if you would happen to get parked north of 9/27) . Also if you go earlier in the week when general aviation parking fills up and closes, there still might be some room in vintage.

    Globe Swift

    Hey, I got mentioned! I've had a Swift since October of last year. Mine is similar to the one in that ad, mostly original except for the o-300a. At 4500 feet, 2500 RPM mine cruises at roughly 140mph true airspeed. The bigger engine would be nice to go faster, but the 145 has its benefits too...
