    Airventure Poll --- What are the odds?

    Let’s suppose they cancel OSH. If things are clear then, would one be allowed to camp next to their plane on the field? Could be a very fun toned down version of the show.

    The “what I did during quarantine” thread

    Maybe not. Maybe its a really nice apartment building and he interviews each of them to determine if they are a good fit with the board. :)

    Please! Make it stop! (Stock market crash)

    As written, this is the opposite of the way index funds work. The funds take no action based on “performance expectations”. They make no adjustments based on the performance of the fund. They do exactly the opposite. They do nothing based on the performance of the fund (I.e. the performance of...

    In time, I’m guessing that editorial will be seen as naive.

    Please! Make it stop! (Stock market crash)

    Regarding jobless numbers, I expect the number to be very large but also expect it to grow substantially over time for a couple of reasons: 1) companies don’t know how long this is going to go on and have delayed taking action. If you read the fine print of many of the “we’re paying all our...

    cheapest form of avaition

    How about focusing on net cost rather than straight cost? Volunteer flying makes it tax deductible -- that can take a whack out of the cost. How about getting paid to fly - ferrying, cfi, drop zone, etc.

    Can my starter freeze?

    I had this happen to me on the Lance once. I figured it wasn't throwing the gear because it was cold. We were in the middle of nowhere. So...myself and my two sons took turns just putting our bare hand on the starter until we got too cold. Then the next guy would take over. After about 10...

    Gosh darn hindsight... I hate you

    I figure I made enough in Tesla stock for maybe a bumper in a couple of days this week. I've been watching the stock's rise of late, and thinking that it was a bit overvalued. I didn't have the stomach for shorting it (and have had bad experiences with my broker closing out my trade on me at a...

    PC-12 Crash In South Dakota, 9 dead, 3 survivors (CFIBlizzard?)

    PC-12 Crash In South Dakota, 9 dead, 3 survivors (CFIBlizzard?)

    My understanding of the PT-6 is that there is no mechanical linkage from the engine to the propeller. So, I don’t think you can connect “prop doesn’t look like it was turning” to engine problem as directly as you can on a piston engine.
