That the one I've seen fly in person at the Cable air show. Itscomical how slow it flies, just lumbering around. Sad to hear it was lost.

So you blew off the doctors orders and stopped going. Yes this will be a problem as there is no recorded resolution. As far as the FAA is concerned, you still have general anxiety and are refusing the perscribed treatment.

It may seam trivial, but it's something that should have been ingrained in your head since before you solo for PPL. Something that could kill you and your passengers if you had do do a go around when hot and heavy and couldn't climb due to reduced performance. So I see why he would pink slip...

So itsounds like you had an issue, to the point of being medicated. The FAA want to know the resolution to this situation. They don't know if the problem resolved or you just said screw it, stopped taking the meds and fired your psyc.

CP Aviation at Santa Paula is top notch, been very happy with them.

If VFR, fly the valley past KSZP, stay above 4500' as there is an acrobatic box in that area to Magic Mountain, , through Newhall Pass, be sure to decend imediatly to avoid the Burbank shelf at 3,000. "Whiteman tower, Bugsmasher XXXX, Newhall Pass, landing with Delta." Easy and will set you...

And for the record, you don't need a medical to learn to fly. You need it to solo and take the check ride. You don't have to stop learinig when you get to the solo and can't take it. Skip it and move on with our CFI. Do all the learning and practicing for you PPL if you don't have your...

Do you want to fly for fun or for a career? For fun, you will have no problems getting a 3rd class medical if your bad eye has at worst 20/40 vision. If it is not correctable to 20/40, you may have to obtain a SODA for monocular vision.

Spoiler alert: peter plans to use a turbo Audi engine to spin a big generator via belts!

How old are they? National recommends a maximum service life of 20 years.

Google "Texas catheter" , it is basically a condom, with glue on the inside, that has a plastic tip for pushing a piece of hose on. Then run that to a collection bag. I learned to use these scuba diving in a dry suit (with a P valve) and they have come in handy on long cross country motorcycle...

Your conditions or 150's must be much bettter than what I've flown. I have aprox 100 hours in 4 or 5 different 150's, and with 40 deg of flaps out, NONE of them will give you a positive climb rate with 2 people. Solo, it would maintain altitude long enough to pull the flaps up to 20 degrees on...

People today are fat. My flight school can't keep the 150's tanked topped up, too many people would be flying over gross weight. They probably keep 10-15 gallons in them most of the time. So taking off with 2.5 hrs of fuel was SOP where i trained. It ment you had to have them topped off if...

The ishahara dot plates are the most difficult test to pass, expeciaily in poor or incorrect lighting. Your options are to find a AME that has some of the alternative tests (not easy) or as others have mentioned obtain a SODA through the FAA. Note that if you fail the test with the FAA, your...

Not sure if they are willing to talk to ya, but CP Aviation at Santa Paula (KSZP) has been running a fleet of 150's at their flight training school for a couple of decades, I bet the owner/ head mechanic Clay has some real world data. I know they ream the the exhaust guides every 500 hrs as...

I saw a pic on one, they get around the ballance issue with a motor mount that is a over a foot longer and matching long cowl

He probably actually has no clue how much oil the system needs. Depending on all the additional coolers, plumbing, redrive, etc, and if some/all of that oil drains back into the motor sump after shut down, the marks on the factory dipstick are useless. Thats assuming the motor is at the same...

Yes yes I remember I had lasagna

Hopefully after grenading the engine, he is realizing he needs to dissasemble and clean every oil line, cooler, and the redrive.

Just up the road in Santa Paula is a top notch flight school, CP Aviation.
