    Hang gliding anyone??

    Beyond the pilots stupidity, it amazes me the guy had the strength to hang on that long, but not to pull himself up and armlock the bar.

    $140 VR HMD

    Thanks. I checked their forum and other people have had the same issue as me, but their fix didn't help. You would know right away if you had this issue. The aircraft (at sea level) acts as if it is at KLXV...

    $140 VR HMD

    LOL... Best for what? I tried the Airfoil Labs C-172. More disappointment. This is basically a C-152 with a C-172 NAV III panel. There is no way this thing is 180 HP. I will try again when I get home. Thanks, at this point I couldn't have said it better.

    $140 VR HMD

    I didn't notice how underwhelming the C-172 was until now. It might be time for some add-on aircraft.. ..and some CAT III action.

    $140 VR HMD

    You don't need the VR hand controllers. It also doesn't hurt to boot one up and have it handy. There are a couple of things that are easier to do with the VR controller than the mouse. When you get bored of sitting and want to stand up and shoot some zombies or slap someone in VR chat they're...

    Best-Worst As Seen On TV crap you bought

    Best: Copper Chef cooking kit. Worst: InventHelp. $10k for some crude drawings posted at a trade show, and a patent that was rejected.

    $140 VR HMD

    The Lenovo doesn't look pixelated, the screen door effect is hard to notice unless you're looking for it. Trust me I bought and returned a lot of VR stuff for that reason alone. The problem is field of view, you get 110 degrees, which is tunnel vision. 1440 is more than enough for 110 degree FOV...

    $140 VR HMD

    Assuming you have a decent computer, you can get the Lenovo Explorer VR system for $140 at Walmart right now. https://www.walmart.com/ip/Lenovo-Explorer-Windows-Mixed-Reality-Headset-Black-G0A20001WW/751420233 I've used PSVR, Oculus and Vive standard and Pro. The Lenovo isn't perfect but at...

    ??? for California motorcyclists...

    I've been riding SoCal for 14 years on a variety of different bikes. It's no different than anywhere else, possibly easier with the weather. Expect the unexpected and don't ride like an ass. The gas thing is a PITA. I see a lot of people putting the kickstand down and getting off to fill it. I...

    Advice on becoming a commercial pilot.

    There are a lot of happy pilots with paid off student loans. Start looking at schools and loans and see if anything is worthwhile to you. If you really want to do it, you shouldn't let a few thousand dollars of interest stop you.

    Las Vegas Controller Incapacitation

    If it's true she was OUI, and I'm still waiting for something besides, "someone on another forum said", maybe she popped a xanax or something... I already feel like I'm going to hell for continuing to talk about this. Whatever happened hopefully she gets whatever help she needs.

    Las Vegas Controller Incapacitation

    That will snowball as more people read it. I love when comments end in, "like if you agree". Finally some instructions on that confusing like button lol.

    Las Vegas Controller Incapacitation

    No kidding, wow. Where are all the people that told me I was an idiot, or wearing a tin foil hat (comment from youtube), because I said it might not have been a stroke?? It did sound like a stroke but why argue it to death unless you actually know? Then dismiss anyone saying it might not have...

    Rhinebeck Jamboree.

    I'll let you know when I get out there. GBR would be a fun x-c, then Kingston Ulster for the second leg, that looks like a lot of fun!

    Rhinebeck Jamboree.

    Clinton Corners, and my airport will be DXR. I know someone with an airplane at the Rhinebeck Airdrome and hope to go see it. The last time I was there I was too young to remember.

    [N/A] Windows email client suggestions? [N/A]

    I use Outlook. What malware protection are you running? Maybe you need to exclude the Thunderbird email store from it. I haven't used it in years but when I retire RIP Outlook.

    Is it wise to do commercial without IFR?

    Guilty as charged. This is why a PPL should read ahead. Unfortunately for me my DPE had to tell me this, after the check ride, because he asked me what I was going next. I said I'm going to build some time, get my commercial and start flying people around. He rolled his eyes. I think my CFII...
