    End of the Rope: My Flight to Hollywood

    I have these same chains at my tie down. Basically you pull the chain up to your tie down loop. The link in the middle of the chain that aligns with your tie down loop gets pulled half way through your tie down and then repeat the process and the big hook attaches to that link. Sounds harder...

    Advice for flying to Los Angeles

    We did a VFR bravo transition over Sky Harbour (KPHX) once on our night cross country to KTUS, that's it. Flight following is such a great service it really should be taught specifically as part of PPL training

    Advice for flying to Los Angeles

    As a newly minted PPL who had never picked up flight following in training (This should be mandatory training) I flew from KGEU to KCMA with FF. The LA controllers were so great to deal with. Very friendly and took great care of my little SEL self. PSP - KPOC - KVNY - KCMA at 8500ft with only a...

    Cessna 182 Avionics upgrade

    Maybe non-IFR was the wrong wording for me to use. My understanding of the Dynon GPS in the Skyview is that it's WAAS, but can't be used to fly an approach legally. But, I'm no expert and I would encourage you to doublecheck before you spend money based on my info. My airplane already had the...

    Cessna 182 Avionics upgrade

    Lost a cowl flap on a 182. Tips to prevent this in the future?

    I have it on my 63 182F. It's made by Horsham out of Australia. I can't speak about speed loss as it was there when I purchased my plane. https://horshamaviation.com.au/stcs-horsham-aviation/

    Lost a cowl flap on a 182. Tips to prevent this in the future?

    My 182 had this after I made the offer, but before I had finished purchase. The seller and I worked through options. We ended up with the Horsham fixed cowl flaps at the sellers expense. I live in Phoenix so I felt the extra cooling would be a good thing. Mine was also the right cowl flap and I...

    What are the advantages of X-plane 12?

    I can't speak to the Turtle Beach yoke, but the Honeycomb setup is pretty great. I can't speak to its compatibility with your Macs because I use it on Windows.

    Regret not having VOR ability if new plane has GNX 375 instead of GTN 650?

    I would love TN. I'm thinking about adding the Knots2U or even sticking the stock wheel pants back on. I've looked at the Forced Aeromotive supercharger.. Other than speed I really don't have a reason to get rid of my 182. It's got a great panel and I'm getting the kinks worked out in the first...

    Regret not having VOR ability if new plane has GNX 375 instead of GTN 650?

    I posted nearly the same question a while back. My 182 has a Dynon HDX 10 with a GNC355 in addition to the Dynon non-certified GPS. I decided to install a used GTN750 in place of the GNC355. I'm having it installed along with the Dynon Autopilot, hopefully, in a couple or weeks. I'll be selling...

    Garmin or Avidyne with Dynon

    I have a Dynon HDX with a GNC355. I've decided to upgrade to a larger screen than the 355 with a Nav radio. I looked at the IFD540 and the GTN750, both used. When I talked to Dynon the one thing that I recall them mentioning was that the Dynon can push a radio frequency from the HDX to the IFD...

    Bonanza V-Tail or Mooney M20x or ??

    You won't get it for 75K but a 182RG or a TR182 would fit the bill from a performance and load perspective.

    PSA - Pt. Mugu Air Show 3/18 - 3/19

    The TFR just popped for the Point Mugu airshow. Just barely missed KCMA, so I think I'd be good to go. Now to watch the weather.

    PSA - Pt. Mugu Air Show 3/18 - 3/19

    Thanks for the info. I've done a trip from KGEU to KCMA in late 2022 and had a pretty good experience. My Dad is in Newbury Park, so KCMA is easiest. Still not sure if we're going to head out or not yet.

    PSA - Pt. Mugu Air Show 3/18 - 3/19

    I'm thinking about hitting the airshow. I haven't been since I left the area in the early 90's. Anyone know if the TFR for the Point Mugu airshow will cover Camarillo airport? I'm thinking about flying into KCMA on Friday, hitting the airshow on Sat, and flying out on Sunday. I just don't want...

    Latest iPad Pro Vs Air? - 2022 Models

    I've used a mini on a Pivot mount suction cupped to the windshield between the glare shield and door of a 172/182. It is exceptional, even with old eyes, in this location. I now use an iphone pro max in this area with an ipad pro 11" mount on the right side of my panel on a mygoflight mount with...

    Dual G5s vs say a Dynon HDX 10 or G3X

    Approved'ish. They stopped selling the pitch axis due to fitment issues on some airframes, mine included. I'm still waiting for them to get that resolved. Honestly, I love most things about my current ride, I just want more speed. I think about a Texas Skyways 520 or a pponk in my current ride...

    Dual G5s vs say a Dynon HDX 10 or G3X

    For those of you that have flown both G5s and big screen (or all 3) what are your thoughts? I currently have a 10" Dynon with all the bells and whistles (sans autopilot at the moment). I'm thinking about something a bit faster than the stiff leg 182. A couple of planes I've seen have dual G5s or...
