The short answer: I'm the second owner of this plans set. The prior owner bought everything (including the 3300) set up for Jab 3300. He started working on it, pursued other interests, and the whole kit-n-kaboodle sat at an airport for several years. My choice buying new would have been...

Have you tried heated grips? It's amazing how it makes the rest of you feel good when your hands are toasty. Heated grips are what keep me going on the early spring/late fall rides here in MN. Tim

My wife's cellphone was in the pocket next to the handheld radio. The cellphone does that to the radio whenever its within a couple feet. 2nd flight today. Felt much more comfortable, was able to write some things down and put some time on it. This is going to be fun! Tim

It was much more senstive than I'm used to, but I knew that going in. CHT's climbed quickly at full throttle but were managed by leveling off or reducing throttle. Oil Temps were perfect with about 75% of the oil cooler inlet blocked off, and EGTs were all in line the whole time. Trim was...

Beautiful day here in MN. You can see the video of the landing below, my wife had a handheld with her so you can hear the radio calls. Plane is a Jabiru 3300 powered taildragger Sonex. Looking forward to the rest of Phase I. =] Tim

Sounds exactly like what Tim Pawlenty did in MN in 2008. He is trying to do the same to the Boating fund this year. Remember that when he runs for Pres. Tim

Right, that makes sense for your situation. But I was questioning Gismo, who said he didn't need brakes and a static runup to determine if the engine is making full power... and I can't think of another way to do it that is repeatable. So I'm wondering what his method is. Tim

How else do you propose to check max static rpm? If one does not check it, how does one assure full power is being developed? By the book, and prior to take-off, of course. Tim

flyingcheesehead, I want to respond to this with a statement and a question to you: a) I certainly don't participate in (5), nor would I recommend anyone else, nor would I want a clarification from the Chief Counsel - but the way they wrote the regulation allows it. and b) What is the...

Who said that? The whole point of this discussion is understanding what the FAA says. Tim

-and- That is the whole point. If a PP meets the requirements of 61.69, they can act as PIC already. 61.113 (g) just allows FCOH! Yes - BUT I think they meant for it to be in the form of a PP's pro-rata share of the flight/log the time PIC. Let me give a series of examples. 1) I'm a PP...

I think that is where we disagree. I can't read (g) in a way to see where it allows only one or the other. If I may, this section of (g): "...may act as a pilot in command of an aircraft towing a glider..." doesn't say which is allowable for FCOH (towpilot or towplane), nor does it say...

What you wrote as your interpretation is below: I guess I just don't see how you read that the two prohibitions in (a) are 1)acting as PIC and 2)receiving compensation. Since you won't explain to me how my understanding: 1) PP can't act as PIC if aircraft is FCOH "act as pilot in command of...

Ron, can you explain to me where my understanding of either/both (a)and/or(g) goes awry? If I'm wrong, I'm wrong - but I'd like to know both why I'm wrong - and how I read the FAR incorrectly. I try to be a prepared pilot, but I fly by what is written in the FAR's. I don't think it is...

I hate to wade back into this, but that is not what it 61.113 (a) says. You have both the prohibitions of (a) wrong, and the allowance of (g) wrong. In my, ummm, humble opinion.:D (a) Except as provided in paragraphs (b) through (g) of this section, no person who holds a private pilot...

Thank you for the heads-up. I see (after digging around and checking) that I was scheduled to be charged for it on the next cycle as well. I am very disappointed that AOPA would resort to one of those "Hey, here is a freebie! but we are going to keep charging you for it until you tell us to...

As it is written, it allows a PP to log the time as PIC. I don't want that to change. Tim

I don't. Sleeping dogs and all that. Tim

I don't see where (g) clearly delineates between the two prohibitions in (a). (a)'s prohibitions are: 1) PP can't act as PIC if aircraft is FCOH 2) PP can't act as PIC if pilot is FCOH Where does (g) differentiate between the two? (g) A private pilot who meets the requirements of 61.69 may...
