This touches on another issue-what I call the “but I want it, so I should have it” mentality…you commonly see this on the home renovation or home search shows. Completely unrealistic expectations given the budget. I saw a meme once mocking these folks, something to the effect of “John and Jane...

One of the problems you see during any real estate boom is inexperienced realtors who jumped in to “get rich” and get spoiled by throwing things on the MLS, letting them sell themselves, and collecting a quick commission with little to no effort. It takes a cooling of the market to send these...

Nice, but I was a little disappointed to see you didn’t put a Cirrus logo on the balloon…bonus for a red handle…:D

Besides the reasons listed by you, the engine is past TBO (if my google AP is correct, lol)…While TBO isn’t an automatic overhaul as an owner, as a buyer, I’m absolutely assuming an OH is needed and negotiating accordingly. By the time you factor that, plus paint, plus ADSB, plus fixing the...

Well stated. Agree wholeheartedly.

1:33…:D

It would really be a shame if you “happened” to be flying, experienced engine roughness close to GYR, and determined a precautionary landing was necessary… In case any FSDOs are reading, this is sarcasm…

Depends on the radar unit in question-but yes, typically it has approach/away selections, and sometimes “both” to allow both reading both directions. Effective range is somewhat limited. LIDAR (laser) has much greater range and accuracy (operator focuses it on the target with a red dot sight, vs...

Im picturing the courtroom portion of Peter’s dream in Office Space…:D

It can work the other way too. When I was racing motocross as a teenager, there was a jump section I wasn’t doing that my dad knew I was more than capable of (just lacked confidence). After my first practice, dad informed me that a competitor (who I knew I was much faster than) was doing it...

Press Release: “We at Delta recognized the popularity of the most recent Top Gun movie and set to work creating a customer experience for those not fortunate enough to have flown fighters. That’s why select flights will include simulated afterburner.”

Slap a Cummins “C” on the housing and send it…

I don’t recall where I heard it, but to reinforce your point, I believe Boeing also faced an agreed 1mil/airplane penalty with one airline (Southwest maybe?) if the MAX ended up requiring that airline to put crews through new ratings, etc.

Well, since “felt” is past tense, you’d have to feel a washer in the engine compartment first. Then you could tell us about the felt washer and where it was…

I finally watched one of DG’s videos just to see what my impressions were after all the talk about him on here. I tried to keep an open mind and quickly found that most on here are actually nicer than I would be. Strikes me as a complete buffoon who also happens to be arrogant…dangerous combination.

Great point. When my son was about 3, I was trying to get him in my truck after a purchase at a local fire supply place next to a busy road. I briefly lost grip on his hand while setting the item (fire extinguisher, ironically for the plane) on the seat so I could load him. In that instant, he...

Unless your state/county subscribes to the idiotic notion that homes need to be built so tight to be “energy efficient” that they end up having to add artificial leaks just to get fresh air exchange. The net result is a home so tight that the conditions are perfect for mold.

And/or a family member disputing the FAA records, saying “they were meticulous and always followed the rules…”
