Thanks for the feedback. I thought the $995 price was absurd too.

I just did an upgrade and I have a couple of people asking about my old ARC RT-328T NAV/COM radios but I have no idea what they're worth. A quick search found asking prices ranging from $200 to $995. That's a pretty big range. Does anyone have a better idea of what these radios are actually...

It's at the bottom of the page where you enter your flight information and locks the data so it can't be accidently changed. Oddly, my day and night currency seem to still be working fine too, only the instrument currency stopped working.

I have LogTenPro on my iPhone, iPad, & Mac. I've only updated my phone to iOS 10 and so far the app does still work, and I can still sync to my iPad, but it has developed some quirks. What I've noticed so far is that the "Locked" slider reverts back to off when I leave the entry page. The other...

I don't remember ever paying a landing fee at KDAL when I've been down there in my 172, and the ramp fee at Business Jet Center was always waived with fuel purchase. Be sure to ask for the AirNav price. KDAL is a great place to venture into class B. ATC is great and the airport layout isn't...

That is true, and you can depart KRVS without talking to TUL Departure by adding "Negative Radar" to your initial call-up, squawking 1200, and staying clear of the Class C. You can also land at KRVS without talking to TUL approach by calling the tower directly as you normally would and letting...

KRVS is a great airport to stop at and you'll find plenty of hotels nearby and food & shopping at the nearby Tulsa Hills Shopping Center. (North out the gate to 81st then west 1 mile to Olympia) There are a LOT of students around here so ATC is very patient and accommodating. If you're not...

If you don't mind driving a little ways to Schaumburg Municipal airport, Northwest Flyers offers a Lakefront tour. Great folks and I got a great tour of the lakefront while the CFI handled the radios and local procedures. I just flew the plane and enjoyed the view. :) Look on their website...

Well actually, the web site would lead you to believe that it does come with the crankshaft, pistons, rods, cylinders, carb, etc. The conversion kit description states: "Everything listed in Option One" and Option One has an extensive list of parts included. After several frustrating email...

Correct, it does not include the engine. It's all the parts you need to convert your own engine to an O-360.

Does anyone have any experience with the Pann Yan Aero conversion kit? The kit includes all of the parts necessary to convert a Lycoming O-320 to a 180 HP O-360. The kit is intended to allow you to have your own mechanic or shop install the kit during an overhaul. The kit is $9,800 and...

When I went to Phoenix last year for a convention I went to Southwest Flight Center in Scottsdale (KSDL) and rented a 172 with an instructor and toured the area. I really enjoyed it.

I flew with New Orleans Flight Academy at KNEW when I visited. The instructor I flew with was Bruce Aiton and he was great but they have many other good instructors too. We did a 1.2 hour flight in the New Orleans area including downtown, the waterfront, and a touch & go at New Orleans...

Thanks for the great leads! I'll check them out. (Dallas: PM sent)

I'll be in San Diego this Sunday through Tuesday and would like to do a flight tour while I'm there. Can anyone recommend a flight school and CFI in the area that would be willing to do this? So far I've done flight tours like this in Maui, Colorado, New Orleans, & Chicago. It's a great way...

Ratchet strap :)

That area is covered by Springfield Approach so I would guess that KBBG (the class D airport) doesn't have their own radar. I've been into KPLK and KFWB many times but only into KBBG once, and can't remember if they asked for a position report. I wouldn't think SGF approach would know the...

I still keep up with most of the forums, just haven't posted much in a while. I haven't done anything with CAP in a couple of years and let my membership expire last year. I had several life events happening one after the other and just couldn't make the committment it takes to stay current &...

Christiansen will take good care of you. They're not the cheapest fuel in the area but RVS is close and convienent to the Marriott, shopping, and food. You can go north on Elwood out the gate and it'll take you all the way to 71st then go east accross the river to the hotel. West on 81st or...
