Hi! I’m 30 years old so I fit the definition right now. What I do... I am a PhD student and instructor at the college level. My work is mostly in logistics and analytics. I play guitar and sing in a rock band. I ride motorcycles, I am resto-modding an old Corvette, and I (obviously because...

The Cub idea is mostly to build tailwheel hours. I eventually want an RV4, 7, or 8 and to get insurance to be more reasonable on those I want tailwheel experience beforehand. I have my endorsement but only about 12 hours. As far as certified I want to stay away from certified aircraft. If I want...

We are definitely talking experimental. With the clubs around here it definitely makes more sense to rent, and that doesn't really allow me to do what I want. I want to be able to go places like Oshkosh, Gastons, etc. Even the clubs around here charge 2 hrs per day that the airplane is gone...

Thanks! Almost - I am meeting with my advisor today to talk about submitting my proposal so very nearly ABD! My field is Logistics, Ops Research, and Supply Chain Management. There is a 182RG around that I may be able to work something like that out but I think the owner figures something...

I’m either going to let it lapse and do a bunch of recurrent after I graduate or maintain currency by using a sim that rents for $35 an hour at a school.

That’s pretty much what the target is lol

St. Louis area. There aren’t many clubs I have found and most cater to maintaining IFR airplanes. I’ve already determined that’s out of my budget. Breakdown of potential partnership would be I buy plane and put her as named on the policy but she gets non-owned insurance. She pays hangar. We each...

Hey guys and gals. I wanted to get your take on something that I think is probably a “no-go,” realistically, but I figured it doesn’t hurt to ask for outside opinions. Hopefully in the next month or so I’ll finish my instrument rating. I’m not going airline. This is just a hobby for me...

I think it’s safe to say that with the general market of the Sonex style kits that the idea is that the airplanes will be operating at lower than the flight levels.

Yes. Just because it's a jet. And you could say "my jet." And it makes jet sounds and sucks down kerosene like it's going out of style.

Sometimes you feel blessed for that :biggrin:

Because JET. And I don’t say that mockingly. Want.

I want you all to know that I teach college level statistics and we have been talking about hypothesis testing in class. We examined this thread in class last night and my students are “appreciative” of our nerdy discussions here :lol:

Today’s the 23rd anniversary of the Flight 800 explosion. What’s eerie is there’s a channel of a guy who recreated aviation incidents using FS2004 and FSX and I was scrolling through his vids and selected his 800 video because I hadn’t seen it before, and it started out saying “July 17, 1996...”...

Fun talking with another stats guy about this!! What sticks out to me in your table is the turbines.

Running a significance test for Wanttaja's numbers shows no statistically significant difference in the proportion of crashes due to engine failure between traditional engines and rotax engines. It would be interesting to try and get a proportion for failures divided by engines in service from...

That's sickening. And here's what really gets me. The people that are going to know what to take and how to take it are pilots and mechanics. We all go through more or less the same thing to do what we do and we know how many planes - especially those owned by smaller flight schools or owned...

Apparently our mechanics were able to scrounge around with spares and get all but 2 planes flying again.

At the risk of this being a rude question, what was the cost layout for this? I mean that is freaking awesome. Do you still have the full motion capability? What software runs it? What is your policy on house guests?
