California has had some atrocious situations develop over time on public airports where either lazy or selfish managers are wooed into creating industrial air parks. Van nuya is one example- a developer comes in and takes over the “ground leases” and inflates them as they are for because, of...

1. If they have a lounge, it’s for our use. Period. 2. If a business places a bed for a customer’s use, use it. 3. Not all FBO’s are 24 hours. Plan around that. 4. The virtue signaling around whether or not someone is a professional pilot is garbage. First come, first served. Any...

I’ve spent tens of thousands on IFR panels, pre and post ADSB. By lobbying the previous administration to force ADSB, Garmin has made billions and the market hasn’t complained much - plenty of G5’s, G500/600’s, and GTN’s being sold in a virtual monopoly. Don’t touch your perfectly working...

Bureaucrats working on their pension almost often make me queasy...and threads like these are the reason why. I would be interested in seeing the performance reviews and complaints against this petty cat. Getting away with malfeasance always empowers idiots.

Do you use an iPad? Curious. Much as I dislike their prices, http://airgizmos.3dcartstores.com/iPad-Knee-Dock-Gen-1-4_p_44.html Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

How many of you stripped and polished your own airplane? Curious about your experience. Live in SoCal, airplane is hangared Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So a recent a web article states it takes between 50 and 100 hours. Do you have a polished bird? What’s your experience? 70’s vintage 172. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’m so confused I had to read your message more than once. Perhaps I’m clueless or just missed any humor. While at A&E, the club was fairly diverse, with women and men, young and old. I never heard of it being it being lgbtq specific age it would surprise me if it was. I’m good friends with...

I paid AOPA dues for 25 years. The whole BasicMed debacle has been underwhelming. As others mentioned, enlarging owner maintenance, particularly as technology has changed, can be enhanced. The change in avionics installs has made the easier but the cost hasn’t changed all while complexity...

I’ve been a member of A&E and Long Beach. Hawthorne is cheaper. Long Beach is easier. Hawthorne is a real club, with all the politics that come with a 50 person club...and sadly there’s politics- ugh. Sometimes the votes members in charge do weird crap. 4 planes usually. Often the plane...

Hmmm so STCs continue to catch up on the digital world- why not an RCA26 for the time being? I think that can be used as primary Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

This is the totality of all that is needed for a sturdy rock solid Mount of anything portable, made by RAM. The 1” ball. Some people window mount. Others yoke mount. I like the sturdy bolt on a place in the panel that will give me a solid hold. There are all sorts of lengths of...

Rats! You got me :) As much as I hate to say it, this will not end well. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You all are a bunch of bullies, seriously. You take a man with obvious narcissistic personality disorder, whose delusions of grandeur get him to repurpose a successful aircraft as a model and completely screw it up with a European motor to match his European accent, all while he makes...

Long time iPad user. In the bouncy soup I prefer garmin portables, as little as I like giving Garmin money. I’ve found the best mounts to use tend to be RAM mounts - fully adjustable anyway you want. Are you a glare shield person? Instrument panel hole person? Between the rails? Or yoke? No...

Talk about tangents and deviations :) the good OP wanted an opinion and here we are entirely weed-e-fied on SIDS and Stars. Poor OP. I hope he got the answer he was hoping for. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Russ, You couldn’t have been much more polite or decent in your query and the comment was not aimed at you, by design. Some of the advice you’re getting is rooted in some of the process, which creates what I consider to be dysfunctional behavior. I’ve seen my share of private pilots, be...

Ugh. Some of the responses in this thread made me queasy - namely a decision by an instructor to accept a student or not based on the instructor preserving their pass rate. I can’t imagine any of the FARs Intended this as an outcome of CFI surveillance. I’ve never failed a check ride, but...

It’s a park today! Why not a bigger park? (Hmm not likely). Next to the south east tiedowns, you’ll find a very cutesy soccer field, and a dog park for all those great chihuahuas and dorky yorkies that the local residents prefer. More green space for the residents would no doubt be welcome...
