    The end of flying as we know it??

    How long is the timeline? I’m in post surgery lala land and see a future with airplanes powered by micro nuke reactors powered from chips off spent fuel rods lol. Apparently we have tons of old tech waste that new tech reactors can use. Now just make em micro sized. Easy.

    The end of flying as we know it??

    22 miles but only with a tailwind! Nautical or statute miles? I heard a podcast saying xyz electric plane had a slide in/out battery (2 minute switch out,) so maybe that’s something these people could do. Anyone using it regularly could leave batteries in their most likely destinations

    How do they define open water? Does a five foot wide three inch deep creek qualify? Small river? Etc I guess I think of open water as the ocean or something large like Lake Michigan

    Minimum Oil Level

    I guess it depends on the year because I remember researching this when I bought mine nearly 20 years ago and the answer was 6. I think it was a 1971-O470R

    I have a daughter so I’m probably overly suspicious…do you have or know anyone with aviation experience who can make an evaluation for you? Who did the annual? When? Etc Also, underpowered and allowing you to manipulate the controls seems unwise. Is he a cfi? Have you ever been in a small...

    Sleep study done and after using CPAP I feel amazing

    Cpap literally saved me. Zoned out driving to work one day, thinking I was wide awake. Got lucky and didn’t hit any thing Now I get blissful sleep every night. The only prep I’ve done for the coming zombie apocalypse is cpap plus solar charger plus battery.
