Churchill Downs offers tours just about daily (https://www.derbymuseum.org/plan-a-visit/tours). Louisville Zoo is better than most (https://louisvillezoo.org/). Kentucky Science Center is a pretty good museum (https://kysciencecenter.org/).

No experience with the XGPS190, but do use an XGPS170 for ADS-B in with good results for several years. I'm is an area of high ADS-B tower density, so it averages about 3-4 stations at any one time. Can't comment on how it would do in a more sparsely served area.

If you have an accessible wifi hotspot near your hangar you can use the same type wifi switches as Martin but without the cellular plan. In my case it is an Xfinity hotspot which I can access as a Comcast customer. A small travel router with external antennas acts as a bridge to connect...

I know this is an old thread, but it seems relevant for this post. Today I had lunch at the new restaurant at 4N1, Greenwood Lake NJ airport, Smoke Shack BBQ & burgers. I have no connection with them other then being a pilot who wants to help airport restaurants thrive. As you can tell from...

My experience with him is different. My Tiger had been maintained by Gary prior to my purchase and he installed its Sensenich prop after its engine overhaul. That prop stops at 1-2 o'clock when viewed from the airplane cabin. You can also see the 1-2 o'clock from the cabin orientation in some...

I think that is what Bob's note says (or maybe I was reading into it based on other postings there<G>). At TDC the prop is installed at the 10-11 o'clock position when viewed from the cabin (1-2 o'clock when viewed from the front looking towards the rear). As a result the prop stops at the 1-2...

Here is a link to a posting on the Grumman Gang by the late Bob Steward in which he goes through clocking a prop. It is about as close to gospel as anything there gets. The original poster was asking about his Cheetah, but the guidance holds for Tigers, too...

The website is the right one. When I contacted them with the same question they told me that they no longer sell the rubber/plastic versions (SX-100). Only the leather types (SX-200/202). Looks like about $70/grip w/o push to talk or $110/grip w PTT. So, $140-$180/yoke depending upon whether...

One other consideration irrespective of the brand you eventually purchase is ambient temperature. I use 2 sets of headsets with a Lightspeed Zulu 3 in cool and cold weather and Halo in-ear headset in the heat of the summertime. I find that any ear cup type headset (over ear or on ear) traps...

I think your thought of meeting with them face to face via a Tracon/Tower tour is a perfectly reasonable way to casually get insight into what affect you have on their operations when flying near your farm under the Class C shelf. You might find, for example, that while the flight path is above...

One caution here. I had an experience about 3 years ago when filing from a nearby VOR (RBV) for air pickup. Before taking off I called the responsible RAPCON and they did not have a record of my flight plan. So I refiled, waited a while, and called them again...still no flight plan. After...

For a VFR flight you need to have a VFR flight plan on file (no need to activate it, only have it filed). If the local airport has a tower, contact clearance delivery and ask them for a squawk code and ATC frequency for VFR flight departing the airport to your destination. If it is a...

The TFRs relating to visits are temporary (albeit more extensive). I recognize those as a fact of present day life whenever any US President is in the area. I am asking about the permanent TFR around the center of Manhattan for the President's prior permanent residence in Trump Tower. Since...

President Trump and Mrs. Trump have changed their home address from Trump Tower in New York to his Mar-a-Lago Resort in Palm Beach {https://www.wpbf.com/article/president-trump-changes-primary-residence-from-manhattan-to-palm-beach/29660011}. I would expect that would remove the need for the...

I got a response about whether or not the upgrade is retrofittable. It will be a firmware update that can be applied to existing units. Only downside is that they will have to be removed and sent back to Surefly to have the patch applied. For me this clinches 2 things. First, I will wait for...
