My closest Wal-Mart is in a Foriegn country. You don't want to move here. ;)

Made mine from sq aluminum tubing. Plasma cut in to angles. Cricket machine labels. Light and fit under rear seat of my 172.

Not true every where,it's the leach bed that is greener at my farm . ;)

Sad news. Every flight for me is a new learning experience , only 130 plus hours but well over 400 landings . One memorable touch and go when I forgot to raise flaps was really interesting. My straight tail 172 has Horton STOL kit and will climb with 30 degree flaps but never exceed 70 MPH and...

I own still ten vehicles, depends on the day what is the favorite for the job at hand . I parted with 7 and I miss them dearly . Parted with 2 vans , 2 semis , 2 jeeps, and a nice 96 F150 to a neighbors kid cause he needed it.

Nobody is dumb enough to ride with me yet. Kinda hoping it stays that way, oh one exception my mini schnauzer likes riding. Ok 2 , the flight instructor who keeps signing me off for anothe 90 days. ;)

Local airport has been making some improvements . New segmented circle and lighted wind sock. Airport manager. Called and asked if I wanted the old one for my farm runway , "Sure" so I hooked up my car trailer to pickup and away I go. When I got there they were moving all the vehicles out of...

Not if you are carrying a basket ball.

Last flight with CFI for my 90 day extention was all on staying ahead of the aircraft , anticipating corrections , not playing catch up with aircraft . Good rudder control at the moment needed ,not after. Rudder Rudder Rudder .Keep those feet at attention . He is an old spray plane pilot with...

After my first lesson , my CFI borrowed a Bose set for me to try . I'm hearing impaired and the communications are a problem . Wow what a difference , Ordered a set that same day. Helps with clarity hearing tower radio and intercom. Haven't tried any other brands other then the non ANR head...

Most likely a day off with out pay . ?

Looks like a mouse took a bite out of one of the plug wires. What is the purpose of the ground connection with no wire connected ?

Hi winds have been plaguing this area . Finally got an hour in on Thursday to practice cross wind landings . Chickened out and flew out over the farm to check spring work . Rough air, so was flying slow to keep from breaking my nice old Cessna . By the time I got back to airport the winds had...

I live on the edge of an oil field. It came into production back in 1922. 5 refineries were built in the area to refine the local crude. Now 0 refineries , oil field production greatly reduced . Oil from this area is pipelined to a refinery in the SE part of state. The original oil field has...

Cost of a KW of energy to me would be the efficiency point. Years back 1969 our electric cost was 1 cent per KW. Water generated energy. Now It is .06825 per KW Still a bargain . Power is from a Co-op . Power prices begin to creep up when private power generation from coal was added . Then...

I bought a top of the line White metal detector with my first SS check. Works great for finding dropped metal parts , Cotter pins half moon keys , nuts lock washers etc. out in the harvest fields. Hard to sort through to find small parts in the straw and dirt. Never found any thing of value...

Cotton tail rabbits also like wiring. I bought a nice little motor home cheap years ago . Only problem was the rabbits had ate the wiring harness for the engine ,lights and rubber boots on the front wheel drive line. I had to buy a service manual to figure out the "how to "on the wiring . Couple...

That must have been a tough pill to swallow.

Yes that is my interpatation also . If one is in a 135 or other operation for hire , if you exceed the 100 hour rule by 10 hours the next 100 hour inspection is due in 90 hours or when the Annual is completed . Which ever occurs first.

So my question is : Can one fly personal AC not for hire more then 100 hours a year with out a 100 hr. Inspection ? Say you pass 100 hours and the annual is not due for another month.
