    Towbar Prop Strike

    Better yet. Just NEVER leave the towbar attached. I’ve got some always/never rules that work like this. For instance, ALWAYS open the hangar doors all the way.

    What's the cheapest/easiest way to create a power source for bench testing things like nav lights. Just get a 12v battery?

    So, homebuilders...who are we and where do we stand?

    Yes but taking out clecos and deburring is safe beer-drinking time. Well, pretty safe...

    """"""""""""Great Shape""""""""""

    Sounds like the FAA guy might be a plane broker on the side.

    Pretty sure your buyers would also like to purchase complete. But it doesn't look like that's an option.

    3 Zero Cafe Out of Commision

    Last time I was there, I met the Kings. Very nice folk. I was flying with a non-pilot who had no idea who these Lilliputians were and why I was thrilled to meet them. The fog was moving in and we all hightailed it out of there at the same time. P.S. always sad to see an airport restaurant close...

    Retiring now

    It has worked out well for you. And I'm guessing you're structured in a way to be able to handle some bumps along the way. I am a little concerned about this FIRE movement which appears to full of people looking at returns and economic expansion from the past 10 years and basing their plan...

The main concerns I hear are about: 1) making sure there is an appropriate ground plane, and 2) antenna orientation (although the latter usually...

    Crazy.. SR22 down NC, both survived

    Hold on a sec. You guys aren't doing this right. @EdFred makes a blanket disparaging statement about Cirrus pilots. And then @Tantalum is supposed to take offense to it. @EdFred then comes back with something. Soon, @MetalCloud jumps in. I don't come to PoA to see you guys all nicey nicey...

    I've always thought expensive caskets were kind of silly.
