    ...Another Recording Option...

    just a heads up - that's the older 720p model, not comparable to the 1080 device we're discussing...

    Austin, TX to New Orleans...need a good midway stop...

    Thanks guys... I looked at Lake Charles but it's the reverse of landing in Conroe. 2.5 hours for the first leg and then an hour to NoLA. I don't think either one of them is going to make it 2.5 hours and they will absolutely not be doing their business in the pee bags I put in the plane...

    Why do we switch tanks?

    In my Cherokee I have 4 tanks to think about. How I switch or balance depends on how long I'm going to be flying. I always do start/taxi/takeoff on the right main and once it's half empty I start switching around...but I always come back to the right main at GUMPS because I know I've got...

    Austin, TX to New Orleans...need a good midway stop...

    Hey Folks, Looking on the map and trying to figure out a good midway stopping point between Austin, TX (specifically KGTU) and New Orleans Lakefront. It looks the Beaumont area is the halfway point but never been over there so don't know much about the area. Ideally, would like to stop and...

    Checking in from Amelia's Landing

    ...I'll bring my wife down at some point... I'm flying with a buddy down to KRAS on Friday...going to play a round of golf over at Palmilla. Should be a great day for it...mid 60's, sunny and wind >10mph...

    First flight in our "new to us" SR22

    Holler at me dude...it's not rocket surgery. I use a GoPro mounted on the dash in front of the passenger at the widest angle possible and then my first nFlightcam hanging up by the dome light pointing straight ahead. I bought the GoPro audio cable from Sporty's (they are making like 500,000%...

    Sport Pilot and Stratus 1 or 2

    You are a pilot now. Money is no object. Get the Stratus 2 and another one for a backup. :)

    Will do for sure...I'll do a flight with them and my GoPro and post a video in a few weeks after they arrive...

    ...Another Recording Option...

    Yup, always check amazon first...occasionally you'll be able to find some of their items there but often not. Either way, even with shipping off ToMo ($15), it's cheaper to get them there than if you have Prime and get free shipping from Amazon. Anyway, I ordered a pair...may use them from...

    ...Another Recording Option...

    ...one of the things I picked up off this site a while back. I use them alot for finding gifts for folks that are impossible to buy for. I bought this for myself. They had quite a few different airports available...but products come and go...no idea where to find these now.

    ...Another Recording Option...

    ...jeez. Some cool stuff on there. Their prices are cheaper (sometimes significantly) than 'retail' and you have to login to see them (not unlike many websites I've seen...even tech sites like newegg.com). I just use my facebook.com login and it works fine. Why do I get the feeling...

    ...Another Recording Option...

    Saw these on one of my favorite sites today...they are $30 cheaper there than if you buy them off their main site. Look pretty cool if you want...literally...the view that you 'see'. 1080p and can take a 32GB card and 1.5 hour recording time. Not bad for $135.00...

    High oil temp. Or is it?

    Depends on which one? We fly a 540 (Cherokee 235) and keep 9-10 in there and it'll spew a little after each flight but not enough that it wants to keep 6 quarts in there.

    High oil temp. Or is it?

    Understatement of the year. No freggin' way I'd even fire the plane up with an obvious oil leak...let alone go flying at night. As for the '...or is it..." Do you really want to find out at 7500' at night? Wow. Glad your safe.

    Icing accident 4 survive westTx

    What is it with the Bonanza and Dr's....:dunno: Glad everyone is alive. The weather has not been great in Texas the last couple weeks...even if I had an instrument rating most of the days I guarantee I wouldn't have been doing any flying...

    Transition to Career Pilot. Is it worth it?

    That'd be fun...for a bit anyway. Looks like the gig would be flying around a chain of 3 islands over a lot of water to 3 different airports (all look pretty nice). Ah, to be young again... :D

    Altitude Chamber training - PHX area

    I did it while I was in the Navy many years ago at Aircrewman Candidate School. They videotaped us playing cards and paddy cake and what not and then we watched it later. It was pretty interesting. I definitely remember the euphoric type feeling at the early onset...get kinda giggly and...

    Occasional sucky landings

    ...my best landing was one after my longest break between flights (in my short 2 year flying career...). As mentioned, any landing you can walk away from is a good one...and even better if you don't have to call the A&P (or the FAA). :D

    Delta Pilot Locked Out of Cockpit...

    http://www.cnn.com/2015/01/30/travel/feat-delta-captain-lockout/index.html Can't say I've seen this one before. I love how this guy (and likely most of the passengers on the plane) are acting like both engines died and they are coasting it in. :lol:
