Marketing plan: hold onto those photos for awhile. Sell them to the student years from now at a significant mark-up! (Thinking about how much I would pay for pictures of my first solo 24 years ago!)

Not sure to post this here or lessons learned: So last night, we had the weather I've been waiting for to try night IFR: low-ish (1200-1500) MVFR ceilings, with decent visibility underneath, warm temps in the clouds, and a stable forecast. I've had my instrument rating for over a year, and...

I know your pain. I have to take the day off work most times to get in some approaches. And bad weather, WITHOUT ICING, is difficult to find my way this time of year. My co-workers think I'm crazy, taking every crappy rainy day off, then later complaining that the day turned out nice. I...

Yes, but length is most likely adjusted with a circuit/electronic trap, not physically.

I used to participate. I’ve know many, many pilots that also say they “used to participate”.

My best friend is an attorney. He’s constantly telling my kids, “Please please please don’t become attorneys. Anything but attorneys.” He has his own practice but he hates it.

Warrior. In fact, I find it much easier to trim for level flight by reducing power to approximately cruise rpm, trimming to something close to level, then trim for 0 climb/descent with slight power changes. My fuel flow meter helps with this.

Interesting. I’m not doubting your results @Lindberg , but it’s always been the case in my plane: trim for airspeed, power for altitude.

Change doctors. Mine doesn’t do this.

Hi Andy! Good luck finding some partners for a Cherokee 6. I’ve been trying to get a partnership for a 6/300 for years at my home drone without success, so instead I’m saving so cash to get one myself (selling my pristine warrior first gets me a good head start). Just don’t try those aerobatic...

I’ve tried the anonymous mode and two things surprised me: 1) while VFR, foreflight still displays “own ship” just fine, even though my n number isn’t displayed. 2) twice now while anonymous I’ve gotten a pop-up ifr plan, switched from 1200 to a code, and then suddenly I’m getting the ForeFlight...

So, does he sleep while on AP? I can't see how he could do it without sleeping on AP.

I use a skybeacon, stratus, and foreflight. Not only can I see my own aircraft, there’s quite a bit of other information I can see: gps quality, skybeacon signal quality, etc

Yes, mine would often only get a tower or two, when my Stratus, in the same place/altitude, will get 3 or more. And my friend has a Stratux, and we've flown formation flights together. I had told him how my Stratus beat my Stratux in reception, so we have compared and he agrees: the Stratus...

I think of aviation similar to playing poker: you don't want any leaks in your game. You could be the best pilot in the air, but if you skimp on pre-flights, there is a leak in your game. Other leaks could be you don't get wx briefings, consider flight following troublesome/annoying, scud run...

I made a stratux. It worked. I bought a Stratus. It works better. Easier to charge/carry/use, and seemed to get more towers with a better signal, IMO. Of course, that comes with a price.

Nice. I've been wanting to go there for awhile. I'm gonna have to make an effort.

Leave it to James show Godwin's law! LOL
