I had a big issue with ebay/paypal but... It wasn't really with paypal. I sold a motorcycle helmet (used). I thought I represented it fairly well but the guy I sold it to said that it wasn't. It was carbon fiber but he said it was heavier that I claimed and it smelled. I never told him an...

MY airport seems to be growing. Lots of older guys for sure, but some young guys as well.

I had my CFI work with my wife for a few lessons, we didn't call it pinch hitter but we did outline a basic training idea that wasn't the end goal of getting her PPL. She had gotten spooked during a cross country flight when we ran into some turbulence. A front had gone through the night...

I think of quitting in stages: Stage one is eliminating the addiction: You are past that, your body is no longer addicted to nicotine. That's usually gone the first 48-72 hrs. Stage two is breaking the habit: This will take a little longer and it may help to change your daily routine if you...

I have had mine in the FBO hangar for the past two years. Hangar rash is real! It's also true that every community hangar is different. I am getting my own hangar this month! I am so ready to get out of that FBO hangar. If I decide to fly on a whim and head to airport, the FBO guys may or may...

Didn't read all these posts but quitting smoking is one of the most important things you can do for yourself. For me, it was easy quitting. Staying quit was the hard part. I smoked for 30 years.... on and off. I quit for a year one time, but if I ever gave in to that first craving (usually...

Dang, I am still wearing a light jacket down here in MS. I guess you guys would be in shorts and t-shirt.

The Mooney does sound inviting but: My 1962 Cherokee 160 annual was $450, plus a few more $ for this-n-that which totaled less than $750 this year. If I get hit with my step-son's annual of his Mooney a couple times, I would be grounded. His annual will be over $2,500 just for parts this year...

They are still there and still training lots of pilots, but I had heard they were bad about returning calls since they had all they could handle with the military contract. I know the Columbus Air Force Base was near by, but I have no clue how that works. I just know I called three times and I...

Hey, Vinny! Haven't seen you around since you moved to the other hangar. I really don't like the FBO hangar. Playing musical airplane is no fun. The King Air is still there and R moved that TBN in there but they keep mine up front. That King Air is gone much of the time anyway. I hope to...

Yes, the northeast brings a vastly different problem. The cold and competition for space is much greater. At $500 a month for a hangar... I would roll the dice on a $25,000 plane. Now, if it were a ....

Yep, same thought i had but the truth is, it's not that many F4 and 5's but tons of smaller ones that don't hit you direct. I have lived here all my life (aged 52). I have been in one, F3 back in 1970. But there are tons of small ones where I take cover with lots of debris thrown around out...

My plane, 1961 Piper Cherokee PA28 160... paint six years old... looks good 1050hrs on engine and 3200 on air frame. Avionics... old as dirt, one good radio and nice transponder. Value? 25-28 Would you hangar itif the cost was $100 a month vs $25 on the ramp? What's your situation? What did...

I can't explain it all but I'll try in brief tidbits" 1) You ever tried to leave North Mississippi. You are two or three hours just to get to an airport. I know I am not in Texas or Alaska but it's hard to go anywhere without a lot of trouble. 2) I loved riding my bike, horse then...

I had mine release a couple times from the window but that really wasn't a big deal. Just ignore it if I'm busy and it's easy enough to put it back. I still like the yoke mount better, it never falls. The only thing is I can't see it quite as well. The bifocals are a bit of a struggle for...

Love it! Congrats!!! I am a newbie pilot myself. I got my PPL last October. Go fly, keep learning and be safe!

I love the idea of getting qualified in 15 days but it just wasn't the way to go for me. A fifteen day course just didn't allow me the time to let everything sink in that I learned on a given day. I am 52 though. I learn a little slower these days. You can do it, I see no reason I couldn't...

I had a window mounted suction cup but my IPad shut down due to over heating. Sun hitting it was just too much. I went to the yoke mount and it works fine there.

OH, by the way Congratulations!!!!
