Just hold your breath, the FAA is getting very involved in this very sort of thing as I write. There is a federal requirement that any airport that gets federal dollars will have to enforce the "no non aviation" stuff in a hanger. For awhile even an experimental under construction wasn't...

It blocked us out. I was leading a group of four aircraft with my Smith Mini Plane as lead, HA! No way to get enough weather window to even launch from NW Illinois. We flight planed at three 150 mile legs a day with landing at Lakeland the morning of the third day. Had to give it up late...

After my check ride she told me I "might" get a call and to be prepared. I did not get that call but she said they call on a certain percentage of her rides.

1st of all the Li-Ion batteries Boeing uses and we get in EartX are two totally different animals. I'm not an expert but do your research and you will find the LI-iron types to be much safer than the Li-Ion although a bit less efficient i.e. heavier. Boeing was going for the absolute lightest...

Any of you commenting on this control input ever land a short coupled tail wheel aircraft like a Pitts? On landing you will have the rudder lock to lock both directions many times during every landing, just as quick as you see here or even faster. If you don't you end up tiptoeing through the...

As posted earlier it can be done, not easy but certainly not impossible as I too have done it more than once. However I was never the pilot! :p

Go for it but; DONT CUT YOUR PRICE! Take pride in what you do and how you do it. Always give a bit more then the customer expected, be dependable and it won,t be long before you can charge more than the local "school", work fewer hours and make more! Typically a person going for a PPL is going...

As part of an honor guard with the local American Legion we only do about 12 to 18 funerals about a year, our bugle is electronic only but with no insert so can't be told apart from real by looking and sounds great, in my opinion. Batteries are checked before every use. Also have not had one...

Try the local, to your dads residence, American Legion Post they may have/give you some local leads. Where I live here in IL. most of us GI's went to the local veterans office and gave them a copy of our DD-214. I actually went to two different counties and left a copy just for safe keeping.

Whats been said above, be prepared to divert and memorize the Notam. Most any day arrival is just fine as long as you plan on being over Fisk at 7am. By 8 it is already busy, how ever it is not that bad except for the occasional dumb a** that cuts you off/ didn't read the Notam, or is totaly...

Painless, I concur! I have learned "stuff" but the humor is what keeps me coming back.

Another plug for Pigpen, I've bought two sets, both exactly as advertised.

Another option not mentioned here is go to the FAA and get the CD with everything they have on that plane. Not a complete log but it will/should should show 337's, AD's, actions, accident history, most of the important stuff. I've done that on two aircraft now it is amazing what you will find...

I ordered one, as I fly a bipe!

Watched one go through KFEP in Jan. going from Central WI. to ST. Louis. Pilot was all bundled up and hoping for warmer weather. You will like the closeness!

Shepherd, ditto!!!

Is it a trade in or two sales? Trade-I with a licensed dealer will save you sales tax, but sale to one individual and buy from another means you both pay full price sales tax. At least that's the way it was with the boats and airplanes I've bought and sold in IL.

And his brother Really Leary!

Cajun, get yourself a Yorkshire Terrier. They will put every animal in the house in their place in short order and bigger the animal is the quicker they will do it! We usually have three of them running around all trying to the the Alpha dog at the same time.
