    Buying and Resale of Cessna 150 to Build Time Help

    You never really know with airplanes, but the situation you're describing worked out perfectly for me. I bought a nice 152 for $25,000 and sold it for $25,000 after getting my license in it and then putting maybe another 100 hours on it. It was a great way to test the waters of ownership in a...

    Where are all the IT jobs?

    I've been in IT a long time. At one point if you asked me, I may have said that I felt like I generally had a solid grasp of the tech-ecosystem. But I was looking over some resumes recently that had been posted on Hacker News and there were so many things on the resumes that people said they had...

    Turbine Bonanza

    The additional reliability would certainly be worth something, this is what Plane and Pilot says about the Tradewinds conversion "...the Allison’s failure rate is one every 115 years. That makes the engine 100 times more reliable than a piston-aircraft engine."

    Turbine Bonanza

    I got to ride in a turbine powered B36 yesterday; what an interesting airplane. The pilot who owns it offered to bring me back from another field about 40 minutes away where I'm getting some maintenance done, it was definitely a neat experience. The thing I noticed the most about it was how...

    Best artificial horizon app for Android

    Maybe check out Kwik EFIS, it's free so no harm in messing with it, but it's not going to work well without a Stratux (not Stratus) device: https://f-droid.org/en/packages/player.efis.pfd/ I can't seem to find what format the ESGi emits for AHRS, but the other one to check out would be iFly...

    Lynx NGT-9000 and Foreflight

    Do you have to manually select the connected device type in Foreflight? I'm not a Foreflight user, so not sure how that works.

    Would you bag this flight?

    Hmm, yeah I'd probably pass as well, doesn't seem like it would be enjoyable.

    Mooney gone?

    Bought myself an early Christmas present.

    A strut pump. Didn't even know such a thing existed, but now I own one since apparently the strut seals on the Bonanza don't take kindly to the cold weather. Anyone have any tips on using this thing? I'm assuming I'm not going to need some sort of adapter to actually hook it to the strut.

    Does anyone make a 5 seater airplane or is it only 6?

    A few Beech Sierras and some Bonanzas. I actually have the 5th seat for my V35 (not installed), but when I look at it, I can't imagine it would be usable in any way. I have a family of only 3, including me, and I barely have enough room for the luggage on our trips as it is.
