    Cirrus SR22 Flying Club - Atlanta (PDK)

    Facebook. One was in the Georgia Pilots group, the other in Atlanta Airplane Partnerships group.

    Cirrus SR22 Flying Club - Atlanta (PDK)

    This never got off the ground, pardon the pun. I did see recently advertised a 1/3rd share of an SR22 at RYY and a 1/4 share of an SR20 at LZU.

    US to Canada - Random COVID testing?

    You’re one of the first pilots I’ve heard from who actually had a customs agent meet them in person. What airport was this?

    Aware of all that, but thanks.

    US to Canada - Random COVID testing?

    Hi all. Planning on flying from US to Canada soon. I know there's currently no pre-entry COVID testing required, but it was just brought to my attention that mandatory random arrival testing at all airports goes back into effect on July 1. Source. Question, before this was suspended (June 11...

    What buttons do you have on your yoke?

    That's the way the flap switch on my stick works. For extending flaps, each momentary click down brings the flaps to the next notch. For retraction, one momentary click up retracts them all the way (slowly). Perfect for go-arounds or after landing.

    What buttons do you have on your yoke?

    ("Playback" is playback the last ATC transmission. Super-handy feature!)

    Turbine JMB VL3

    This article says the TG-R90 will be 140,000 euros, close to $150k USD. (And that article is nearly a year old. Price has surely increased with the current rate of inflation.) I'd love a turbine, but not paying 3.5X the price of a Rotax 915iS for an engine with less power and similar fuel burn...

    Tracking and LADD

    Ah yes. I was familiar with adsbexchange, but previously I was unable to find LADD-subscribed planes by tail number. I checked again and it does work now. Thanks!

    Tracking and LADD

    It took only one post for the first snarky-ass response, and you did it! Congrats! You misunderstand LADD. It’s not asking the FAA to not publish the information. The third party still gets the info of LADD-subscribed aircraft from the FAA, they just have an agreement with the FAA to not make...

    Tracking and LADD

    Let’s say my plane is signed up on LADD. Is there an easy way for my family to still track me? FlightAware wants $1400/year for a subscription plan to see my own LADD-subscribed airplane. There’s got to be a better option. (Let’s not have this thread turn into everyone arguing whether or not...

    O2 conservation - MH vs SkyOx

    Molecular sieve. I think we had 8, maybe more. The best price comes at 6 or more units.

    O2 conservation - MH vs SkyOx

    They require a prescription OR a pilot's license. We all had to send in pics of our licenses. Call them up and ask for Jon Abbotts. If you PM me I'll give you his email. (Don't want to post it here without his permission.)

    O2 conservation - MH vs SkyOx

    Just order a regular Inogen G5. It's the same thing. I got mine here: https://puremedco.com I was able to organize a group buy with several other pilots and got a steep discount. I got 2 of them for just a bit more than what the "Aviator" folks were charging for one. They also provided the...

    Building a Sling TSi in under 8 minutes

    I priced out the RV-10 at multiple build centers. In every case, a comparably-equipped RV-10 would have cost me substantially more money and taken a longer time to build. Like a dream! Climbs great, very light on the controls, super-fast roll-rate, yet quite stable. Takes hardly any rudder...

    Building a Sling TSi in under 8 minutes

    Only a year, because I cheated! :D It's easier/faster when you've got an expert telling you what and how to do everything, helping with the hard parts, and continuing to build on days that you can't be there. Build Assist is worth it's weight in gold, IMHO! The seat design is brilliant: the...

    Building a Sling TSi in under 8 minutes

    I made short video of the building of my airplane, "One Alpha Mike," a Sling TSi. About a year's worth of work consolidated into less than 8 minutes. Many thanks to Evan Brunye for expert Build Assist!

    Alpine Wyoming (46U) fuel/lunch stop?

    Thinking about making a fuel/lunch stop at 46U (Alpine, Wyoming), mainly because it's so scenic. However, I see conflicting comments in ForeFlight about service availability. I know there's a fly-in community there, but I understand the airport itself is actually public. Anybody have first-hand...

    Harmful effects of low oxygen for passengers

    Harmful effects of low oxygen for passengers

    I was thinking of a similar question. (I guess I'm glutton for punishment like @Salty, too!:D) Let's say we're flying along at 16 - 17k. We're all wearing O2 cannulas. My wife and/or daughter fall asleep. I look over and realize one of them has their mouth open, meaning they're not getting all...
