    Radio Trouble

    On the CP 135/136 pinout, I only see one input from each com radio and an output for each the speaker and the phones. The 120 does have a separate speaker output and a headphone output but it would be unusual for some one to install a com panel and leave the speaker hard wired to the receiver...

    Radio Trouble

    That the "some where down the line" has to be in the audio panel or downstream of it. The radio and output into the audio panel is OK.

    Doesn't the speaker go through the audio panel?

    Piper Warrior - Fuel Measurement

    With a 150 HP Hershey bar wing Cherokee, I disagree. With its miserable take off and climb performance in the summer time, any more fuel than you need is giving up safety margin unnecessarily. I considered anything over an hour reserve to be more than needed.

    Port Clinton, OH. Lake Erie

    Are there still "Tin Geese" on the field? I lived there around 1975 and there were Ford Tri-Motors providing regular service to the islands. I was told that it included school bus service for kids.

    And here come the kneejerk reactions

    Abe Lincoln seems to have taken care of the possibility of secession. How about expulsion? Actually, I really liked SF when I was stationed there in the 60s.

    What kind of bike do you ride?

    Have had a couple of BSA Gold Stars (500cc single) in the 60s/70s. After enough scrapes and bruises, decided to take up something safer - like flying.

    At what point do you go to the ER?

    There is an "in between" alternative in a lot of areas. Everskyward mentioned urgent care facilities. This seems to be what they are for. You would like to get in to see your regular doctor but they can't schedule you in a timely fashion and you don't think that you need the emergency room...

    Sunglass Lens Color -- Which?

    Look at a sectional though them and see that features on chart don't disappear. I had a yellow or orangeish pair once that made a chart color just absolutely invisible. I got caught out on a trip without sunglasses and grabbed a pair of supermarket clip-ons so they weren't high quality. Saw...

    ADHD … is it a death sentence?

    Not necessarily associated. There are people with no sense of spatial orientation who don't have ADD.

    Egyptian A320 missing

    Does the A-320 have Lithium-ion batteries in the avionics compartment?? There are now reports of smoke alarms in a lav and in the avionics compartment reported over ACARS.

    Fizzdo ride-along.

    I did my IFR training in a 141 school and had a FSDO inspector replace the instructor for one lesson. It went well. I learned a thing or two from him and was complimented on what I thought was not a very good landing. It has been a long time ago but I think I remember being asked if I was OK...

    [N/A] Pay to Recycle Light Bulbs??

    I don't think it is recycling. I think it is disposal like with old tires and batteries. I found that if I was disposing of onesies/twosies from my household, they could go in my normal trash. If I was disposing larger amounts or from a business, I had to go through some outfit to dispose of...

    Speed Mods...are they really worth it?

    Maybe not in the same class as the above but the RV-8 is a fixed gear 4 banger that is no slouch for speed.

    Speed Mods...are they really worth it?

    That was at wide open throttle at about 3000 MSL

    Speed Mods...are they really worth it?

    I had a PA28-140 for over 20 yrs. It is definitely not a speedster. More power is going to do very little to speed it up but should be seen in improved take off and climb performance. The Cherokee 140 is a real dog in that area in the summer time south. Max gross take offs at 105 - 110...

    Speed Mods...are they really worth it?

    They may or may not be worth it depending on your goal and how much it costs. They can have other effects than improving speed such as improving climb rate. If you have a plane with marginal summer time take off and climb performance, any improvement is an improvement in safety margin. Any...

    Why do we put in our N number at self-serve gas pumps?

    Doesn't seem to matter or require logic. We had a based plane crash because the pilot accidently used the guard wire on a high line for arresting gear while landing at a grass strip. The fuel got analyzed. Fortunately, the pilot lived and flew again.
