This is why I print and file my completed application every time. To help me remember which "Yes" answers I may have already submitted. Makes the PRNCs much easier each time.

I got a "reckless" in Virginia while in 1st gear... at idle... So slow the speedo needle in my K75 was still in the lower peg.

Wanna see a study in ridiculousness regarding speed limits? Take a ride from Boise, ID to Baker City, OR on I-84 and see what happens when you get to the ID/OR border. ....or pass through Island Park, ID and count the number of 45 mph zones. Someone's brother-in-law had a truck full of 45 Mph...

Exactly. If the flame blows out, the gas gets shut off. Also, unlike your grill, it is designed to be used mostly unattended once started. Are you going to stand there watching it while it heats your engine or are you going to do your preflight and get a cuppa? Therefore needs an 'automated'...

Donno about this model, but pre-heaters typically more closely resemble a furnace than an engine. I would also immediately suspect the thermocouple.

Playing "Bad Guy" for the Hawaii ANG in W-189 was one of the most fun times I have had while wearing clothes. Those flares are quite noticeable. Watching an F-15 try to stay airborne next to a Partnavia at low cruise was certainly entertaining.

Funny story, that was part of my original reply. :p

Speaking of Bananas... There's a beaut of an A36 in the hangar right now where we park the Warrior. TKS, Tip Tanks, leather seats, full glass panel... Beautiful airplane.

Wait... You mean it is not a condition of membership to read every new post every day? Ohhh... to think of the hours I have wasted... :D

I will go one futher and put to you that if you drink yourself silly and attempt to drive a car, the resulting crash will not have been an "accident" and any consequences of your decision should be treated as an intentional act, up to and including murder charges if you kill someone.

Pretty neat idea. Perhaps by the time they expand beyond SoCal they will have the website out of the Alpha development stage.

It appears to be for rentals, not for prospective buyers. :p

No idea. I think they built it from scratch.

Speaking of arguments that don't follow... The property is training ground owned by the Army, not by the state. To think that closing the airport automatically opens the ground to state profit making is just silly. Beyond that, it is located near the end of a one-way-in, one-way-out highway...

Funny thing is... The property belongs to the US Army. Between sunset and sunrise, it is closed to civil use. Unless some Colonel and local politician are making a back-room deal for their retirement plans, I don't see how the state benefits by closing down 130 jobs and $12M a year income...

I got the chance to fly UND's VR sim at the Symposium this year. What an experience! With very realistic force-feedback controls and a realistic flight model, it actually felt like a full-motion sim even though it was not moving at all. To the point where when I went to land and stalled a...

I see what it happening here... The PDF POH I downloaded for ease of quick reference is the older version. The actual physical copy in the airplane is the correct, updated, version. I never did look at the PDF version for specific values and see now that it still shows the lower max gross. I...

Was not enough to tax the seaplane base out of existence... https://www.ainonline.com/aviation-news/business-aviation/2020-10-28/aopa-vows-fight-save-hawaiis-oahu-airport

Ahhh... I see the difference now. You manual is for model years 1983-1994 whereas my manual (Part number 761-649) is for model years 1977-1982. Seeing as how we are flying a 1977 vintage, I think we will stick with the POH from that era. :D Closer review of the revisons in my manual shows...
