A dipole from wingtip to vert stab to wingtip with an antenna matcher works well on 40 m and higher frequencies on a C-172. An aircraft band steel "bent 1/4 wave" antenna trimmed down about 1 inch or so works well on 2 m when mounted on the aft fuselage. Don't ask how I know.;)

On 17 January I sent my oil sample to AvLab via their return shipping label. Since then the box has been in Mississippi numerous times then back to Memphis numerous times. Delivery dates have been posted only to be followed by "in transit" messages. IF the sample ever gets to AvLab it will be...

Your lack of ADS-B signal on the ground is one reason why I rely on SiriusXM weather rather than FSB.

Folsom's Air Service in Greenville, Maine also had a DC-3 on amphib floats!!! It was really interesting to watch them bring it back up the ramp after landing in Moosehead Lake.

I have had a WIFI Honeywell thermostat in my house for a couple of years at least. It works fine UNTIL the cable (internet) drops out. This happens very infrequently (usually in storms) in which case the thermostat reverts to its programed settings. All functions are still available at the...

Unfortunately the restaurant at KPUB is not open on Sundays and it is a ways to the nearest eatery.

Chris, I saw your post from January but hopefully you still monitor the forum...I have a GNS 530W for my navigator and a GDL 88D and KT 76A transponder. I am thinking of replacing the KT 76A with a GTX 330 ES to get 1090 ADS-B out. Did you disable GDL 88 ADS-B out or are you transmitting...

My house sits at 6400 MSL and my hangar is at 6800 so the "sweet spot" for my flying is about 9 to 10 k...no, my Arrow is not turbo so true air speed at 10 k is only 140 kts.

22 years old and 5:55 at solo.

BOO...

WEMO has a variety of WIFI switches. I have a WIFI hotspot in my hangar (too far to piggy-back on someone else's WIFI) and I control the engine pre-heater, cabin heater and hangar lights with the WEMO devices from a WIFI or cell service if your phone is not connected to a WIFI server. These...

If the runway has an instrument approach the FAA will have setback requirements.

I use Quaker State 10W40 but it is hard to find here lately. Otherwise Pennzoil, both "high mileage". Synthetic, I have been told, will leak quickly past seals that have had nothing but organic oil for 51+ years.

I took my initial training at Danbury and soloed there in a C-150 in 1965 after 5 1/2 hours of dual. The airport has terrain challenges BUT if you are taught well that experience will pay dividends in the future!

I change the oil and filter every 3000 in my '71 Volvo. I attribute that to the fact I have 570,000 miles on the original engine.

I ordered one TEMPEST AA48110-2 OIL FILTER from Aircraft Spruce on 2 June and it was delivered today (11 August).

27 for me...but that was 52 years ago!!!

I have one of the Wingviewtint.com "stick on" sheets and it really works well in my Arrow. I never had much luck with the "slap on" films or the suction cup panels but this product definitely lives up the the advertising claims.

I renewed my passport even though it had time left just so I wouldn't have delays when the world opens up again. I have used a company named CIBT (and its predecessor) for decades and renewal is simple with them. No having to get passport photos (use your "selfie") or trips to the (ugh) Post...
