    mid-air collision... avoided

    I give you sir (and others) who flew before me without these tools... standing ovation. I can't believe there weren't mid-air every week! :rolleyes: It's like driving the LA 405 or 101.

    mid-air collision... avoided

    In addition, that plane was initially on SAME altitude headed straight toward me! :eek: At last moment, other pilot said "descending" and I said "ascenting right"

    mid-air collision... avoided

    Hey folks, Need some feedback from flight the other day. This area is busy with students and other pilots sight-seeing and training. I saw the other plane on Fore-flight; I made position reports, indicating clock-wise maneuvers. Not sure why other plane decided to LEFT turn into me as I turned...

    can't stall this plane..

    After many hours of excuses, I finally took my 150 up for stalls... I couldn't make it stall. Stall horn sounded and it 'buffet' but no stall. I've been landing this plane too fast. I could probably land at 27knots! :rolleyes:

    Hey folks, I know USA has the best aviation-friendly environment bar none. :) I wonder however, if i were to travel other countries; how difficult is it to rent/borrow a C172/Piper/etc. and fly?

    C150 tracking issue

    Hey folks, Now that i'm getting to know my plane better; i've observed following. Since putting 41 hours in my 150, I noticed during cruise; there's slight yaw-left tendency. And maybe very tiny bit bank-left tendency also. What could be cause of this?

    Hey folks, What's the best way to wash my C150? Is there airplane version of carwash that you can fly to? Do you use dish soap?

    sucking the bugs out

    Hey folks, The other day I opened the vent for 1st time since it became sunny during flight and bunch of dead bees fell out the vent. This got me wondering do bugs get caught inside vents, stall-horn and other holes? How do you clean them out? Do you use a shop vacuum?

    formation flying?

    Hey folks, Looking to fly with buddy with my C150. He has a C172. What are some tips, rules, recommendations? How do we communicate during flight? Is there separate frequencies for peer-to-peer comm? Cell phones? Dipping wings? Flashing Nav lights? :rolleyes:

    engine mis-fire during idle

    Hey folks, My C150 engine runs fine in higher rpm but mis-fire every so often when close to idle. The AP says might be valve, magnetos points, or spark plugs. I do have high time engine (1500hrs) with one cylinder just replaced during annual. Anyone else experience something similar?

    3D printed avionics part

    I’d recommend not build your first printer. Prusa with metal frame would be great first printer. I found large format printer (at least 300x300x300) useful for printing automotive

    3D printed avionics part

    Different filaments have varied level of hardness and temp resistance. Also, seems there’s new filaments being developed all the time.
