Happened when I was 17 and working at a maintenance shop. I was stripping the interior out of a Bonanza for an annual and climbed out on the wing carrying a seat right as a very pretty girl my age walked into the hangar. Went to climb off the wing while still carrying the seat and looking in her...

Granted, you skip lunch, but the dinner budget's a little dry, so you end up with a double serving of some value priced pickled pigs feet. I wish they'd open up overtime at work again, between college and flying I'm starting to run outta money for ramen.

Fair enough, guess I got the wrong idea about what they were somewhere along the line.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't a crate motor still a brand new aftermarket engine? Not to push for details, but I don't think we've got enough info about the intended use of the engine to make solid recommendations.

Nice, congrats!

Eh, guess I'm more a fan of having more control over your setup when it comes to simming. It will be cheaper to purchase everything individually instead of the AOPA package, too. Part of the cost seems to be for the Prepar3d license in place of FSX, when they're both essentially the same sim. I...

Depends on the scenario; it's pretty easy in FSX to set up a saved scenario for about any situation you could ask for. I can't see that adding to the price, unless they're adding features to Prepar3d for the scenarios.

Agreed, I can understand not releasing any details of your project, but I'm pretty curious too, like to hear about it when it's possible to put some more info out. Good luck with whatever it is, though.

Looks like they're basically marketing Prepar3d with a yoke and throttle? Stock FSX with your own choice of stick, Track IR, and some addons would probably be cheaper, with the same simulation fidelity (at work, so can't see the actual price). IIRC Prepar3d had a few improvements over FSX stock...

Definitely, pretty much have to factor the celebratory suds into my cost per hour

:lol::lol:

Yeah, but with sufficient use of carbon fiber and dietary restrictions for passengers, they just might work.

Man, I hope they weren't over an open air assembly of persons.

Cheap, reliable, available in bulk, and outperforms 80% of the Hyundai range. http://www.osengines.com/engines-car/index.html

Nice, hadn't heard about the new taxiway. I'll have to check out the flying club when I get back. When I was last there the club was made up of a couple 172's/182's that we'd work on pretty regularly, can't recall any tail numbers to check if they're still based there, though. Still kick myself...

I'll gladly volunteer to taxi the jet for them. Someone show me how to stay outta afterburner first.

:lol: Love the oxygen masks

94,000 hp for 30 knots? :eek:

Know what you mean, I worked at Augusta Aircraft Maintenance at the north end of the field from 2006-2008, and besides a couple of local pilots who'd fly pretty regularly there never was much traffic. I'd hoped it had picked up a little since I've been gone, since they picked up a new airport...
