    Wings of Hope Announces Fall Aircraft Raffle

    I advise anyone to exercise considerable caution in any dealings with WoH. I realize this may be an unpopular statement, but I have been burned. More information posted under another thread: https://www.pilotsofamerica.com/com...affle-airplane-announced.112879/#post-2597589

    Wings of Hope Fall 2018 Raffle airplane announced

    Hey all - I know a lot of people get excited by these raffles, and I used to be among them. In fact I won the raffle in 2015. But I must urge a certain degree of caution based on my experience unfortunately. Given this is a forum, I’ll try to keep this reasonably short, but I can elaborate...

    Rant: 3rd class medical - 8+ weeks

    Feel your pain in the delay. Just got my medical (3rd class) last Friday after a similar process. I also worked with Dr. Bruce, who I cannot recommend enough to anyone in a difficult situation. From deferment to issuance was 13 weeks. At Dr. Bruce's recommendation I called once a week to ask...

    Rockwell Commander 114 Seat Track Replacement

    Anyone ever done this? Seems the good engineers set it up so the wing may have to come off to facilitate removal and replacement of about 50 rivets. If there's a better way (and a good source of replacement tracks for that matter) I have some friends who would really love to know. Any help...

    Basic Camera for Aviation/Auto Racing Photography

    Nikon and Canon are largely interchangeable - your familiarity and skill have a much larger impact on the images. Similarly the lenses matter more than the body. There are little things that one is better at than the other but on the whole, pretty silly to pick one as better than the other by...

    FAA aircraft registration

    I'm currently at approximately 9 months in my efforts to register a new acquisition last summer. BoS didn't match, then a return mailing was lost, then an additional letter and documentation (and another $5) to allow discounting/deregistering the initial BoS. And they cashed my check about 45...

    Help please - HDMI to VGA?

    HDMI is digital. VGA is analog. You will need an active converter (i.e. Something with some processing on board not just a wiring adapter). The second issue is copy protection /signal encryption. HDMI widths with an encryption scheme called HDCP. From your computer it will most likely not be an...

    Chesapeake Bay and NY

    Sorry if I introduced some confusion. To my knowledge the grass by the Pilot House is ok. The paved ramp at the south end of the runway isn't. So if you taxi on across it to the grass you're good to go I believe. That said, when I asked specifically where transient parking was, I was pointed...

    Chesapeake Bay and NY

    Just in case someone checks here, current info is that the south end is a private ramp and the owner doesn't appreciate transient parking there. Tiedowns at midfield are the way to go. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    [N/A] Camera recommendations

    A lot of camera choice is down to personal preference, and as said by others the photographer makes the bigger difference. That said I recommend looking at the Sony DSC-RXV100iii or RXV100iv. Also going to be a very nice set of similar camerad from Nikon hitting the market in April called the...

    son going in for adhd evaluation; wants to be a pilot

    As many have said, consider this carefully as the result could damage or end his aspirations. That said, depending on his case, the benefits of treatment (with or without drugs) may outweigh that disadvantages and only your family can estimate that balance. If you decide to have him evaluated...

    Airplane Raffle

    Most raffles seem to be in the $50-$100 ticket range with ticket sales limited to 3-5000. Even at those prices, those with high time engines have trouble selling out. I don't know what you have in mind for marketing or in the way if connections, but I think you'd have trouble getting enough...

    Thinking about a Moped

    Don't know where you're based, but I have a '63 Honda SuperCub C100 here (DC suburbs) that's going up for sale shortly if that's of any interest. Cool little classic moped/bike, 49cc, hugely common worldwide so parts are cheap (e.g. ignition switch direct from Thailand for $20 shipped), but...
