They say the GPS may be unreliable. Maybe not a bad thing to have VOR onboard after all! It appears it's a window of 1:00 AM - 4:00 AM PST, then 9:00 AM - 4:00 PM. Not ideal, but at least there should be no testing after 4:00, and the sun sets around 8:00 PM, so maybe some afternoon flying is...

Ditto here. Have SD ammo and purchased when I could. That's all "safety stock" now and I don't touch it unless a need arises. I use the smaller stuff (primarily .22LR) and sparingly use the larger bore ammo for practice and sight-in using a laser bore sighter now.

Agree with @Morgan3820, the situation is slowly becoming better, but prices are still way too high. Instead of $1 per round of .556, it's "on sale" at $0.70. I used to be able to get .556 at $0.30 per or lower. As @JB1842 posted, AmmoSeek.com or check your local range boards to see if...

I'm broad shouldered and about 230 pounds, 5'10" and have no issues having another fairly broad shouldered passenger in the Sportcruiser. I do have a long torso, so I sit taller and the canopy comes close to my headset, but even then it's a non issue (unless in moderate turbulence when I've...

I acquired one at the beginning of this year - one with a manual transmission (hard to find.) Lots of fun. Sadly all used cars prices seems to have spiked. But I think there's a few good deals out there, but mostly domestic vehicles. But with the 2 requirements, I'd have echo Tspear's...

I have a few eBikes and normal bikes, and think the eBike has their purpose and place. My fat-tire eBike is nice as I can ride down to the beach and ride back, but if tired, I can use electric assist or full electric propulsion. The other eBike is a foldable eBike for the plane so I can get...

I was going to say that "Spouses are like a lease on an Italian sports car - exciting to have/spend time with, high maintenance cost, and early lease termination comes at a HUGE cost." :p Just kidding... sort of. My wife is a blessing and my best friend. And even she would agree to the above...

I've got no words... at least, no kind words...

Second vote in support of Victoria Neuville. I was with AOPA and Avemco before. As we've (likely) all felt, rates increased dramatically 1.5 years ago. Victoria got me insured with rates far better than I've had before on my LSA.

I echo what all others have written... namely: 10 hours in is still early More RIGHT rudder Heavy workload on take-off and landing You haven't developed the individual skills yet, so there's no chance to combine them First and foremost - Hang In There! You will get it (it will "click" one...

Sounding good! No spring bind with the closer tolerances on the lash? It's small, so probably not a big deal, but good the check after another run. As for header wrap... I hate that job! Double gloves and I still itch at times. Any thoughts of ceramic coating or using a header sleeve instead...

Let me know - I'm good for a visit there, KMT, F70... I'm always in if food is involved. :p I'll try again. First time was my cross country solo and I swore up/down/sideways I could see that I was over the airport per the charts, but I couldn't see it! Second time was late last year and the...
