I'm thinking the same thing...I keep mine on the yoke. Sometimes the sun shines on it, but it doesn't overheat...what happens when it does?

I took a 15 year break to raise kids...but it was the "riding the bicycle" thing for me, at least for the aircraft control, lucky for me that flying the plane was easy-peasy. Now the regs changes were a whole other ballgame (my break period occurred during 9/11). Jim's suggestion of elevator...

When I was young (I'm not anymore) I bought an airplane, not to build up hours like you plan but just to fly, as I loved flying and hated the idea of rentals. But one thing I was good at was saving. I saved for 2 years, then got my pilot's license, and bought a plane a week after getting my...

Um, so? The implication is that it was done for some sort of news blackout...you are saying that if the story costs more, its a news blackout? Ah, no.

Meh, it's only 1000 foot high, plenty low enough for the Fox news helicopter to get all the footage Fox needs...sounds more like lazy journalism strikes again.

Wow! Last flight in the book hit 1000 hours???!!! Sweet! Your first lesson was at night? I only log on paper too, but I'm on my second book without about the same number of hours (either my books or shorter in pages or my flights are shorter, lol). Hey, I wanna see the dog's signature!

Nice, and I believe it, experiencing the same myself one time. On my last plane (Cherokee 140) when I bought it, I swear it was a living museum for spark plug brands...within it's 8 spark plugs there was every brand I've ever heard of, and a few I hadn't! I replaced them all with tempest (I'm...

I boat on the Great Lakes...I've never minded a check from the Michigan or Canadian DNR (which happens every so often and at most takes but a couple of minutes) but the USCG? Fuggetaboutit! Talk about a pain in the rear end! The USCG have taken my ID for HOURS before and just boated away with...

Asking only tells you what is roomy to others / what works for others, not what works for you. Trust me, I learn my lessons the hard way (see thread here: ) https://www.pilotsofamerica.com/community/threads/i-thought-i-wanted-a-mooney.132814/

Sigh…suddenly I’m reminded of that Mark Twain quote about arguments…. I’m out.

Ignoring? Where did I say I was ignoring? He asked how it was constitutional...quoting a law says nothing about constitutionality.

"Because it hasn't been challenged, it must be ok" is ridiculous. Nor does the law doesn't explain what the OP is asking.

Oh, and in many states (but not Michigan), random traffic stops ARE allowed in the form of sobriety check lanes....

Under your scenario of being parked in a parking lot: in our state (Michigan) police are allowed to run your plate without any reason, then run the registered owner for wants/warrants (it's considered public information). In a plane, there are specific things the FAA can check, such as your...

Seriously, you, like me, live near one of the greatest expanses of water in the world...we're both crazy for flying this long without making a seaplane a priority.

Sweet! I've been kicking around the idea of a second airplane, maybe a biplane...a few people in my life have said, "But what would you do with a biplane?" THIS!

And also Daniel A. Bernath...who was "predicted" to crash by many, in a way.

What ever you do, if it says, "Feed me Seymour", don't feed it!

Those smiles say it all!

I worked fraud investigations for many years...my question was to see if you had tips, or maybe "clues" to those considering making the same type purchases, that may help others avoid such things. Most of my victims in the cases I have investigated said things like, "I had a feeling..." then...
