I'm not offering judgment either way on what OP did, but I find the legal side of this fascinating as it varies from the "normal" DUI case. In any event, let's be clear/accurate - if the state can show, beyond a reasonable doubt, that he was intoxicated... Without an officer witnessing him...

I don't do criminal law, but this is really fascinating from a legal perspective. A few "issue spotting" exercises: 1) How far does the implied consent law regarding submitting to alcohol breath/blood tests reach? OP wasn't really engaged in a traffic stop. He was walking, and the officer...

1.25 (100% of a Duke and 1/4 of a Twin Comanche).

A Super Viking is a great airplane. Lot of value for the money. Needs to live inside, little tough to pack 4 adults into it for any meaningful distance, and needs a mechanic that's either familiar with them or willing to learn (sometimes harder than finding someone who is familiar with them)...

I'm confused. So you do favor owners doing their own avionics adjustments? In that case, a couple of thoughts: 1) To get into the setup mode on the G5, hold down the knob while turning it on. 2) To get into the setup mode on a GTN750, hold down the "Home" button while powering on the unit.

I think it's pretty reckless for you to openly suggest that pilots make changes to the settings of their avionics, especially in maintenance mode. That should only be done by an appropriately authorized person, like an A&P or a Repair Station.

Since this thread is still going, I wanted to provide a quick reminder: you can put the G5 into configuration mode by holding down the knob while powering it up. I know @fly4usa wanted everyone to have that knowledge.

Sounds like a work ethic/supervision problem. Turn off the heat in the shop and tell the kids they can't come in the warm house until the floor is clean. Simple. When you're ready, I'll send you the name of a good family lawyer to help with the child abuse/endangerment charges.

Is this why you have childrens?

I have a partnership in a 1969 PA30C. It's a great airplane. Fast, comically efficient, handles nicely. It is a little hard (tedious) to work on, which will increase maintenance costs depending on how involved you are (owner-assisted, etc.). They are hard to insure anymore. We have...

Someone forgot to take their pills...

Security theater...

Asking people for help, then arguing with them, then simply declaring that your position is "reasonable" is not a way to make friends and influence people. Maybe dial it back a notch or two with the lengthy, ranty posts, ALL CAPS and aggression. Do that, and you might actually get some assistance.

Any airplane, whether a 2-seater or a Cessna 421, will eat all of the money you're willing to throw at it. There's a baseline, of course, which mostly amounts to hangar and insurance and the base annual inspection fee (not accounting for repairs). If you can cover that, plus some fuel, and you...

Not necessarily, though I want to avoid selling them too piecemeal. What are you looking for?

I've got 10 tickets for a front-row private box (Box A-77) at the Reno Air Races for Weds and Thurs only (my crew will only be there Fri-Sun). Includes 10 pit passes and 4 reserved parking passes per day. Asking $700 total (OBO), including overnight FedEx to you. Venmo/Paypal preferred. PM with...

PM me if you want to have a serious conversation about one. Happy to chat on the phone about my TBone experience.

Interesting thought. Are you thinking the extra force from the gearbox could apply more pressure the rods than in a non-geared engine?
