Even a legit cashiers check can be "clawed back" for a period of 2 weeks. It's not a perfect payment method. The only non-reversible payment method, other than cold hard cash, is a wire transfer. Without the use of a national escrow agent, the only way I would do this deal would be for both the...

I have been using these for years to hang white-boards and cork-boards at my church. They work well as long as you don't try to over-tighten them. I have not tried them on wood.

Gasoline to propane is one of the simplest conversions. Just about all it is is a regulator and and adjustable micro-valve. Propane is naturally anti-knock, so it is really safe to use propane to start an engine.

Even though I owned my previous Lance (PA32R-300) when I got my CSEL, I used a 152 for training and most of the exam. It was purely a cost savings issue. I picked up the examiner at KORL in the 152, did all the main work, then we dropped by my base (X07) and picked up my Lance and I flew him...

I have always thought it was just a controller mistake, but due to the frequency, I was concerned it was a seldom flown aircraft that was mis-configured. It always happens in southern CA. Now that I know there is a N4360F out of Carlsbad, my concerns are squashed. Thanks for the reply. Being...

About every 6 months or so, my aircraft is 'spotted' by FlightAware in California. It happened again today. https://flightaware.com/live/flight/N4306F/history/20220219/2141Z/ How can I find any communications or ADSB information for this flight. I would like to at least verify that they don't...

It's a shame that it would have been financially better to have damaged the plane beyond repair during the forced landing that to have done such a good job and now have to pay for a new engine.:(

There is a single pin (serial-out) from the 530W that connects to a single pin (serial-in) on the 330ES. There are multiple serial-out pins on the 530W and multiple serial-in pins on the 330ES. Any can be used for this function. Then, the selected serial port has to be set correctly in each...

I really like my Sandel 3308 EHSI. (I know it is no longer serviced, but they are still available on the used market.) Currently, it is connected to a GNS430W. This is in a PA32R-300 (Lance). I am contemplating some upgrades. It looks like the G5 is just a simple digital version of a basic...

Tantalum; you really did a disservice to bradg33 the way you clipped his post. You made him appear to say 180 degrees from what he really said. For the record, his statement about it screaming illegal charter was "If this was a rental aircraft being provided by a school that employs the CFI, it...

Just a thought. Maybe the 83 is actually better than a 100. If you show up with an 83, you know what the examiner will dig deeper into, so you know ahead of time and can prepare. If you show up with a really high score, then you don't know what he is going to ask, so you can't be as prepared...

It might be better for him to set up an LLC that he wholly owns, then he can depreciate it. You get to be his 'corporate pilot'. You will have to pay taxes on any time he let's you use it for personal use, but that's just like a company car being used for personal use. You need to get him to run...

I have to drive I-4 from Winter Haven to Orlando several times a week. Most of the old people are afraid of I-4, so I'll blame it on the tourists. :biggrin:

Why "B"? Because the person that is posting the NOTAM is unfamiliar with operating in the conditions. That is why everything closes in the south for a snowstorm. We know we are 'untrained', and we acknowledge it. Again, call up the tower/authority and ask them to make a slight revision to...

Now, a serious answer from a southerner that spent the winter of 77 in Michigan while at school at Ferris. As you were raised, you have seen and heard your parents talk about driving in snow. You picked it up via osmosis before you ever started driving.

Now, that is just mean. I could go on a rant about how all you yankees can't drive in thunderstorms that we in Florida have to drive in all the time. As soon as it starts raining hard, all the yankees slow down to 10mph on the interstate. Yes, I could be mean too, but I will not call you'll names.

(This from a southerner.) If they even have equipment. In north Alabama, to scrape the roads (once every 3-4 years), they have to use a standard road grader as they have no plows. If they need to spread salt (or more likely sand), they actually put guys in the back of dump trucks and have them...

Duh! I had not thought about that. I did download the extension and it let me get to the "it's over" screen, which it would not before. Next, I will try it on the webinar I mainly wanted. Thanks

Well, it turns out it was all for naught. I tried to join the first webinar today and Garmin's webinar provider does not support Firefox. Just MS and Chrome. Neither of which is allowed on my machine. :sigh:

I am thinking that this is a troll. Or, a very immature person.
