    DWAI

    As a blank statement, that is incorrect. It is state law so it depends on where you live. And I always held NC high on my favoritism list so I really hope that this great red state hasn't banned legal carry in family restaurants where minivan soccermom housewife can order a glass of wine with...

    Beverly MA, 17 YO student pilot lands after wheel fell off.

    Congratulations on not losing her cool and landing that wounded warrior. (3RP, it's catching on!! :) ) But the reporting is just pure sh*t. (well, it's MSN, duh) "The Beverly Airport shut down to all other traffic to give the pilot no distractions." LOL I seriously doubt that was the reason...

    Hope to meet new friends in the aviation community.

    Welcome to the mad zoo of crazy pilots, Ty! Well, some of us are sane (borderline, though) Glad to see your perseverance, it usually pays off if you stay on top of it and don't let hurdles discourage you. Good luck and have fun! (literally, have fun training, that's the best way)

    Don’t Flush A Diaper!

    I am surprised that you are surprised. These morons exist. More than you know. And they are allowed to vote AND breed. (as evidenced by the diaper) IMHO, the airline should send the cleaning bill to the dumbazz who did it.

    Kathryn's Report?

    Intevestink. No crash reports anymore? I wonder what happened. Anybody care enough to contact them and find out? (I am too lazy and don't really have the time)

    Warbirds on Parade, Lancaster TX - Sep 1st - TOMORROW!

    Dang, I missed it! :( I would also need more advance notice to make it. Would have loved to attend. Wouldn't it be grand if there were a webpage where all aviation events were posted? FWIW, was Devil Dog there?

    Physics Q; remotely aviation

    If for every double distance you require half the force, you won't have a linear curve for sure. Simple math.

    But it only works in vacuum.

    Who's Hiring Requiring 250-450 Total Time?

    Welcome to PoA, Viper. What flight training specifically will you have? PPL ASEL? ASES? IR? AMEL? CPL? How many PIC hours? How many in retracts, high-performance and complex?

    The Sad Decline in the Caliber of Craigslist Sellers

    You're not the only one wondering where all the smart people went. The problem is that them Ynterwebs allowed also dumb people to come out of the woodworks and make their presence known to the world. So now we all are suffering. At least you're not getting scammed out of your money or...

    Anyone ever flown Pilots n Paws?

    I've done dozens as well. Learned a lot about people from every flight. Some insights (helpful or not): Don't expect every transport to be charitable (as already pointed out). There are some who game the system. Don't expect every transport to be tax deductible either. Don't expect transport...

    Question on if the C-177 is a good plane?

    Ah, perfect, that makes sense. That's a big difference in W&B The 3-bladed prop (and hub) is much heavier. (and is on the very front) Probably what puts me over the fwd edge of the envelope with no ballast in the back.

    Question on if the C-177 is a good plane?

    Interesting. Lucky you. 2-bladed prop, by any chance? Our W&B with 2 guys and full fuel would put us fwd of the envelope. 20 lbs in the back cargo was sufficient to get us back within envelope. So I wonder if it's the 3-bladed prop that put the nose "over the top".

    Question on if the C-177 is a good plane?

    Ah, you beat me to it. :) Yes, a nice step stool will take care of it. And I too have a 6ft+ buddy who simply checks the fuel without even stepping on his toes. :)

    Question on if the C-177 is a good plane?

    A $6 12" tall folding step stool from Vamazon will take care of it. It takes up barely any space in the cargo compartment (or under the back seat) and weighs less than 2 lbs. :)

    Don't also forget that the target demographic calls is "Kah-meeero" and spells it accordingly.

    RC model airplane at Airport

    FWIW, coordination is key. Playing with toys at a real airport is a good way to lose a toy or kill a pilot.
