What, I can't hear you over all the ringing in my ears. Too many years in all kinds of loud planes.

I got mine some time ago, it was probably a couple of bucks.

Congrats on the new hangar, nice to have your own to do what you want. Buy a good shovel for the winter. I have to keep mine clean after every snowfall, and I try and get it done before the plow comes by. If not, then the snow ridge can freeze the door shut. Or, the January thaw which can bring...

Now for the most important question, is it a south facing door, or is it the kiss of death north facing?

So... if I'm reading this right, you're flying a no flap approach on the off chance you have to make a go around and it's easier for you to not have to deal with all that flap raising procedure. That makes no sense at all. Being "spring loaded" for a go around while flying with your instructor...

Wouldn't a Phoenix Class B chart be a lot more detailed than a regular sectional? If you don't have one already, it might be wise to get one for flying around the area.

Overall they are great little planes if you are happy with a small lightweight economical plane. Of the many 120's and 140's that came with the constant chord fabric wings, some have been metalized. I think the fabric wings look better and are lighter weight. The 140A has a single strut and the...

The airport is long gone but the terminal building remains. I believe Disney Studios use it for offices and a small museum in inside too. Congrats on your anniversary!

Privately owned by an individual or private because it's owned by the DNR for their use only? One of those may get you into trouble with regs or local laws. Lots of planes use private marked strips every day. A lot of owners mark theirs private so they don't have everyone using them and having...

Best video I've seen all day!

That's the one in New Richmond WI about 50 miles east of the Twin Cities. I've seen it at a few local airshows.

How about a Midget Mustang, or the ultimate in planes,

That's a really good video, and I think there's a short video or stills from the side as he's about to slide behind trees and into that field 84649[/ATTACH]

Even a lowly ole Tri Pacer looks good in the air. Thanks again for the photos.

I flew CL planes first and then full size, never flew RC and probably never will.

It depends on the conditions and winds for the day that will determine if you get that approach or not.

No, those hangars are a part of Signature and have corporate companies located in them. In this case it's companies like Cargil, Target, Super Value, General Mills. The pink circles are describing in the AIM as, Geographic Position Markings. These markings are located at points along low...

Photo number 4, as you're turning off 12R onto D then W, that large hangar closest to you, I used to work out of there.

Do some prior planning and studying and pick the right time and it's not that big a deal. Sounds like a good learning experience, good for you.

Looks pretty good overall, and it looks like you're having fun too. One little thing, at 19:30 and that landing. During the bouncing, watch your right hand, it's kind of along for the ride and not controlling the pitch, which is increasing the PIO. Be aware of that and not let your hand just...
