I almost pulled the trigger on a number of occasions, but decided against it since my near vision has always been perfect and it seems I’d lose that if I corrected for distance vision. Has that been anyone else’s experience?

Well GRG, it’s a smell that I can’t forget, even after more than 40 years. Oh, wait. I had some last week.

I finally found a fix that works well for me with caveats. On the iPhone can send any call that’s not in your contact list straight to voicemail. But toggle this feature off if you’re expecting a call back from a business (for example, one you were on hold with and gave them a call-back...

Fruity Pebbles cereal. That’s what I think of every time I use it.

It was was 31 years ago, but as I remember, when I added power it just wasn’t there. Prop windmilled until touchdown.

As a student pilot on a solo flight in a 172 to pick up my instructor, I had that gear fail which caused both mags to fail. I was on very short final and made the runway. Pushed the plane the rest of the way to parking. I was shocked they made such a non redundant system.

For dinner, fly into PSM (Portsmouth, NH) borrow the crew car (they have more than one) and see the town. Great food there. Might be more fun pre-COVID though. Burlington Vermont is also ranks highly in my book for dining options. In the winter, Alton Bay, NH clears a runway on the ice covered...

That’s exactly it. Call him and set up a day and then you’ll be in and out in a few hours.

Matthew, I had it done by a prop shop and wasn’t pleased at all with the results. It came down to this person’s ‘technique.’ So three weeks later I took it to Kari at Tally-Ho in Danbury (KDXR). He charged about half of the original and does a phenomenal job. He takes the time to get it done...

Thanks Matthew. Just read up on Jungle Habitat after you mentioned it. What a ‘wild’ story. Have to check that out.

Any all-aluminum plane first certified from 1960 to 1999.

Husky: “Jeep.”

Really?! I loved that voice!

Plane&Pilot went digital for this summer. The print version is just now back. It’s the one magazine that represents the type of flying I enjoy. It’s important to support these magazines if you want them to continue.

I looked into it. Apparently there’s a pretty good market for used run out Rotax 912s. Sell the engine and buy a new one. It seems an overhaul (when I priced it last year) was around 15k and a new engine was 19k). If I remember correctly. Switching to a 912s is difficult as it requires...

Not really ‘famous’ on here but I have www.YouTube.com/fly4fun Airline ops specific mostly. My GA flying hasn’t made an appearance on there other than some paragliding. I sure like ALL aviation.

You’re not alone. I did exactly the same thing. Logbooks and POH are now searchable thanks to Adobe Scan. Then I put them in GoodReader and it saves to all my devices.

Great review, and thanks @GRG55 for the mention. Yep, after hearing just how wonderful the Husky was from my brother Kurt, (who has owned just about everything in the category, including an Arctic Tern) I finally broke down and bought a Husky last year. I swear it was a total coincidence that it...

Busy day!

Very cool.
