I used to use a 9.7" ipad on a yoke mount. After an avionics upgrade, I now use an ipad mini on a suction cup mount on the lower corner of the windshield. This is in a C172. Try various options and see what works for you.

When I was a renter, about 33% of my total time was at night. I've always been comfortable flying at night and enjoyed the calmer air and less crowded airspace. About 3 years ago I got my IR and bought a plane. Since then, I fly mostly during the day. The change was mainly due to having a...

I have a MSR Whisper lite stove and never had soot. I've only ever used white gas. It only take a few seconds after starting for the fuel to start to vaporize and burn clean. You might be over-priming. I don't put anything on the stove until I get a nice blue flame.

I checked my information from 2019 - Sleeping bag - 2.3 lbs Sleeping pad - 1.75 lbs Clothing/Toiletries - 12 lbs per person (Was at OSH for 9 nights) Charging brick w/ solar panel - 4 lbs Chair - 2 lbs You can rent tie down's when you arrive. I did that in 2019 and had no issues. I don't...

Lightweight hiking tents will work well. There are many to choose from. My current hiking tent is (2 lbs 14 ozs): REI Co-op Quarter Dome SL 2 Tent | REI Co-op Make sure you get better stakes than what comes with any tent. A good sleeping pad will help make an extended stay more tolerable...

I have a '77 C172N. The back of the pilot's seat pan drops down and the seat back is reclined farther than it should be. The crank for reclining the seat has no impact. Has anyone seen this issue before?

Back in 2019 I waited 5 months for an engine from Lycoming. I originally was told 10-12 weeks. On the promised ship date, I contacted Lycoming to find out that it was pushed back 4 weeks. This happened two other times where I contacted them on the promised ship date to find that they were...

I had the same issue on my G5 that I noticed immediately after install. About a week later, I returned to the shop for a few minor squawks and they were able to adjust it. You should return to the shop, or any other Garmin shop and have this corrected. I know I wouldn't want to be inside a...

About the worst thing you can do is slap someone on the back when they are choking and they are sitting up. Encourage them to cough as hard as they can. Unbuckle their seat belt, turn them and do the best you can to give them the Heimlich to the best of your ability.

Where are you located? This is a very good avionics shop in PA that I've used before.

In a C172N with O-360-A4M 180hp 4 cylinder engine - $11.5K. This includes 2 CEiS fuel senders and removing all the old engine instruments.

Fixed this for you - Why do you think the wing would break off? A PROPERLY PERFORMED roll is a maneuver that is well within the structural (although prohibited for other reasons) limits of the air frame. If a wing is going to break off it would happen in a steep turn, very deep stall/spin...

I do own a plane that is leased back. I accept that there may be issues due to the skill (or lack thereof) of some pilots, bad decision making, or that others aren't going to give the plane as much care as me. However, if I found someone being careless, deliberately abusing the aircraft or...

I completely agree with this. Your first bunch of flights will be basic flight maneuvers using the foggles. After that, your instructor will tell you what you need. My only other suggestion is that if you are using a plane with a GTN650 once you start IFR navigation and approaches, download...

I have a GTN650, GTX345 and FS210. The bluetooth should be turned off from the GTX345 and it should be sending the data to the FS210. If the shop is a Garmin certified shop, they should call Garmin tech support to figure out the issue. If the connection is working, you should also be able to...

I don't know any CFI's at MMU. However, I fly out of CDW which is only about 10 miles away from MMU. I know several CFI's that are career instructors and not just looking to build time.

Maybe it's because I learned on a six-pack before I had the G5's installed, but I do the same.

I had the same reactions my first times in actual. Like everything else with instrument flight, you will get used to it. Spend some time in actual with an instructor and you will get more comfortable.

From what I can see, the Red Dragon is no longer on the market.

I'm tied down on a ramp with no electric service. What do others use to preheat their engines when needed?
