I faced this same decision a couple years ago when my old KX170 started having issues. I already had a GTN 750 and the kx170 was my com 2 and backup nav. I ended up getting a GNC355 as backup gps and com 2. They work great together for longer IFR trips. Flying IFR I usually leave the GNC on...

I don’t know how much you have read about the subject but they believe the earth is a disk and Antarctica is basically a wall of ice around the outer edge of the disk. They have explanations for most things, but they quickly fall apart when you get past 3rd grade science.

Well it’s not like that came up in the interview. Lol. Other than that he’s a pretty normal guy. He’s decent at his job so far. I honestly thought he was joking but he’s definitely not.

I Just found out, the new guy at work is a flat earth guy! Can’t wait for the conversations this will bring!

I cam to the same conclusion as you. When I first got the plane 4 years ago, I thought I would add the right window but as I flew the plane, I quickly realized the window wasn’t necessary. On hot days I just leave the right door open during taxi, if I have passengers.

https://ellis-assoc.com/kg-2 I ran across this a while back. Not sure how it works exactly.

I own a 182p with a PPONK and a 3 blade prop. My plane has the Sportsman wing and micro VGs. For me It’s really hard to measure exactly how much of a cruise speed increase you get from the Pponk itself because all of those modifications were done at the same time. But, at 8k, 65% power I see...

See my above comment. Everything is in the Sporty’s app. Pick a topic and video. Click on the “related content “ tab at the bottom. You should have a digital copy of all the books you need or want.

@VoiceOfReason In the sporty’s app there is a tab at the bottom of each video called “related content “. That is where you can find the PHAK and pretty much anything you need. I’ve used sporty’s for both privet and instrument and never had any issues finding the information needed.

Last year, on a return trip back from the Bahamas I flew from Freeport to KFPR. I called at least 10 times over a 2 hour period and never got ahold of Customs at FPR. The weather was starting to go downhill pretty quickly so I called Miami Customs and explained to them I could not get ahold of...

There’s an STC for c182 P and Q model that is nothing more than a pice of paper and it adds 150 lbs to your takeoff weight. It doesn’t require any changes to the aircraft at all. https://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/appages/cessna182stc.php

We need a BBQ talk!

Yep. Mad in the USA.

I was just typing that. Not sure if it’s made in Georgia but for that price I hope it ia!

You can get charcoal pellets for a pellet grill and they produce about the same flavor. I believe the op is interested in an American made product. But besides that I personally prefer an offset smoker. You can definitely make some good Q on just about anything, but for me nothing beats an...

Pits & Spits are vary well made! If you want to stick to pellets another option is the Yoder YS640. It’s also very well made, and I believe it has a better controller. Both are made in the USA. I have used both and they are both very good pellet grills. Either one will be a “set it and forget...

Reading this thread makes me wonder. What if someone spoofs my GPS and blinds me with a laser all at the same time? That would be a bad day.

I feel its very important to push your limits as you learn. You could theoretically get your certificate and never fly in anything more than slight winds. But what happens when the weatherman is wrong? You get to your destination and its a 15kt crosswind? Its all about technique when it comes to...

That used to be the case but most of the newer ones will read DC. I use a ”cheep” clap on to measure 12 and 24v systems all the time. as stated above the the ”cheep ones “ don’t work great for reading lower current values but definitely work well for something drawing 60amps. Even as low as 5...
