Semi-Auto - go Bennelli M2 or M4 I suppose someone recommended the 20 gauge semi-auto for reduced recoil? If you don't like 12 GA kick, you can add a recoil pad to the butt of the shotgun to help absorb the shock (works quite well.) Or you can adjust the load. Going with shot won't be as...

Sincerest condolences to GaryV's family. RIP GaryV. :(

I fly the cousin to the Bristell, the Sportcruiser and it's usually around California, though I hope to make more trips to Nevada and Arizona to visit with friends, as well as longer flights (over night trips) to Idaho. Like @Warmi, I am time limited, so my flying is weekend trips with a reward...

Absolutely awesome, Kath! Glad to read that you'e back in the air (where you know you belong!)

Sincerest condolences for your loss. Pets are family, and losing a pet is, at least to my family, profoundly painful. But your pets will live on in your memories and hearts. It's been a month since my Louie passed away. He'd been with me for the last 21 years. My wife has said she cannot...

Sorry to read the partnership did not work out. I read about partnerships that work, and how there are very clearly defined rules to govern fair use of the aircraft and availability to all partners. But unless there's mutual respect for each other and the aircraft, things can turn sour...

Fritos... sometimes. Macroni - sometimes also. ("Chili Mac")

Jay, you make me yearn for early retirement! Looks like an amazing trip!

Just....wow. Per Kirk Lazarus: "...moronical" https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0942385/characters/nm0000375

Wow, RIP to Pilot and PAX. Thanks for posting, Stan. Banning is an airport I've not gone to yet. It's hot there in the summer (It appears it was between 95-100 degrees on Friday) and the winds can be strong. (not saying either is a factor, just typical weather conditions for the area.) Sad...

Sorry WannFly and Murphey. First.... Ceramic coating is indeed a "thing", but I wouldn't have the dealer do it. You can do it yourself. (My LSA picked up a honest 2- 3 knots TAS with Ceramic Coating applied.) As for the vehicle market - both new and used is in a frenzy. Because of the...

Ha ha! :p To Eman's point, if your ADS-B is not working and Flight Aware is not tracking you via ADS-B, it uses your transponder 1090 mhz and multilateration to calculated your altitude and speed via time distance of arrival (TDOA) between the receiving ground station sites. I agree with the...

When did “student” become an unacceptable term? And aren’t we always learning? So what differentiates a new “learner” vs “experienced and still learning?”

Hmmm, maybe I’ve been following the wrong video instruction for short field landings…

Lately it's been the Bose X, but I like the QT Halos too. But I do notice that my transmission quality is a little better with the Bose X, and the ANR does make it a little quieter.

I think flying is worth it overall... so worth pursuing the SPL and having it in hand. I find that most of my missions are solo, so my other seat is empty most of the time. I personally was not keen to rent the school plane as it wasn't always flown gently, and I found enough squawks on my...
