    Pilot Career Question

    It’s worth the effort. I can’t even imagine a 9 to 5 job.

    New to Site - Aviation Author

    Only fair since I like to lurk over in the “Flyer” forum of the UK. Read the “I pulled CAPS today!” Post just now, in fact. Great forum. https://forums.flyer.co.uk/viewforum.php?f=1&sid=79cefd172f0b262cff630f2be7a269a4

    Delta Zulu Mic Gain adjustment

    Their customer service is one of the best I’ve come across. Give them a call and see if they have any ideas. My Delta Zulus have never had a complaint from controllers.

    Flying with a Dog!

    We’ve found the Rex Soecs Ears to be better than the Mutt Muffs. That said, our dog doesn’t want to wear anything. We use a harness with her connected to a 3’ leash in the back and she calms down after we get airborne but starts barking taxiing in. Fortunately it’s in a Husky, so the tower must...

    Was Milly or Billy your instructor?

    Hang gliding for first time

    Swing has developed a technology that helps prevent collapses called RAST. But good instruction is the other part of preventing collapses. And judgement.

    Hang gliding for first time

    Don’t overlook paragliding. Having done both, I preferred having the ability to take a glider with me anywhere as it fits in a large backpack.

    "November"

    I don’t mind if they call me that as long as I get to call them “Tower” instead of, say, “Kennedy Tower.”

    I know the owner of the site. He’s one of our Husky buddies and a heck of a nice guy.

    Aera 660

    I use one hard mounted in the back seat of a Husky. It receives the flight plan from the Garmin 375 via Bluetooth automatically and displays ADS-B traffic.

    How to "scratch that itch"

    Hi Sam, I was in a similar situation. I travelled a ton, but I wanted to do some flying. Combining it with all the travel was a huge advantage. I still fly airplanes but the decade or so flying paragliders had a much higher fun per dollar ratio. Find a school near you or make it a learning...

    How much tail wheel time for realistic insurance?

    Avemco says the max discount comes with 100 hours of time in type. I think they can insure starting at around 5 hours (in type), but that may have changed.

    Get the Lead out -- time to stop dragging our feet

    As someone who totes gas to my plane and occasionally buys UL94 for convenience, I am not doing it to save any money, in fact 94UL was more expensive for a time than 100LL. I believe the unleaded fuel is better for our engines and results in less lead deposits and stuck exhaust valves. And I...

    UFLYMIKE headsets are garbage.

    Yep, I used mine for many years. The Bose headset portion wore out before the U-Fly Mike. Perhaps you can tell us why the product and support are lacking? When dealing with customer service, I never thought to let them know about my 20,000 hours of experience, probably because I would think...
