Sounds like a great reason to fly that new plane of yours to SMO and rent a car for the short drive to Venice.

Oceano is easy-peasy in my A36. I'm sure your fine with your Piper.

Congratulations!

Be careful with the Banning pass if there are stormy clouds. I have an ugly icing story that involves spending a night in Palm Springs because of weather and then deciding to "Go for it" the next day.

Pest - When are you headed back down to the warm part of the state?

It's a thing on my A36 ( a straight tail Bonanza) too. It isn't something that can't be handled though. Like mentioned above - you just push and adjust the trim after adding throttle. It's definitely not a reason to avoid flying a Bonanza.

Yeah, who would want this kind of crappy performance....

That's why I own a 50 year old Bonanza. Parts have never been difficult to find (fingers are crossed). "Bonanza" is used to describe Beech models 33, 35 (the V-Tail models A through V) and 36. Heck there is even a Twin Bonanza that is closer to a King Air than a V-Tail. Bonanzas have been...

You can always taxi it over to #227 and use mine. :)

For me, it would be California. I just finished walking 18 holes of golf in shorts and a polo shirt. Pretty sure nobody did that in New York today. Tons of options for flying. RHV banning 100 LL was a local thing (still really bad) not something that was being driven by the state. Don't...

JEB's list of people he is glad don't live near him 1)Jim

There's no requirement that every tenant gets an identical increase in rent. You don't mention where in California the duplex is, so here's a link that shows the Los Angeles/Long Beach/Anaheim area. https://www.bls.gov/regions/west/news-release/consumerpriceindex_losangeles.htm You can raise...

He didn't have the home made control lock in place because of a windy parking spot. He created it so that he could park his old VW Bug in the back of his hangar behind the Duke. He needed a few extra inches of space and lifting the elevators did the trick. His Hangar was in the same row as...

Cannon plugs are definitely the way to go. 1st pic shows my dual yoke with the cannon plug just barely visible under the flap indicator. 2nd pic shows the cannon plug in more detail on my single yoke.

Have a Plan "B" as an alternative to the Banning pass. Check information for KPSP and KRIR or KRAL. Look at the Altimeter setting. As the delta between the two grows, your odds of an "Exciting" ride in the pass increases. I like this routing better than flying the Banning Pass. It's...

Congratulations on the new plane. Looks like you're going to love it. Your routing looks good to me. I've done that route from Atlanta once and many times from Houston. Some key things I've learned - Use flight following. Bring a cooler with drinks and snacks. Sometimes it's hard to find...

I've decided that he's a troll.

.... "Common Sense" The lapse in common sense is on your side Gruber. You shouldn't post someone else's photo without providing proper attribution to the person who took the pic - or at least mentioning where you found it. Don't blame others for misinterpreting your misleading post. Whether...

I'm sure everyone is different. I'm turning 56 next month. Before I needed multifocal lenses and progressive lens glasses, I was far sighted (needed help with reading). I had Lasik surgery at about 38 and a tune up at around 46. I was probably being a little too hopeful with that tune up...

Instead of a horizontal line where the lens transitions from one prescription to another, multifocal contacts have concentric circles with different prescriptions. Your eye just naturally uses what's best for a given situation. For me at least, there was absolutely no effort involved. They...
