Minor bug report: After selecting 200 as the distance and clicking "Go!", the distance field reverts to displaying 100. Operationally appears to apply 200. All other distance selectors seem to do the correct thing.

Just FYI my SkyguardTWX has also been updated. A new SMA connector was added where a newly supplied GPS antenna is attached to a new internal GPS receiver. The old external GPS antenna/receiver puck unit is no longer used. The new GPS unit gets its position fix much faster than the old unit...

They say that proper diet makes for regular posters who are less full. So they say.

When we lived in Aptos, CA we, along with one of our neighbors, had path lights from our front doors to the public sidewalk (similar to the ones in the image below.) Two years in a row someone on Halloween night would rip them out and smash them. So we didn't replace them the second time...

I'm afraid Larry might feel slighted for me not knowing his claim to fame and TP my house.

Prior to a few days ago I doubt I would have appeared on very many people's sh*t list on this forum. Most would no doubt have asked "Jim who?" That said, I'm afraid I have to ask "Larry who?" I'm afraid I'm not up on the petty animosities that are being nursed by some posters.

Mr. Pilot was murdered in the hangar with a wrench by the A&P.

If the PoA member map is any indication, there may not be enough active members in the western states to make it easy to complete legs in the west in any timely fashion: Longer distances coupled with lower population density. The east and midwest at least has higher density of residents and...

Don't use no stinking exercise bike. NordicTrack elliptical for the ****.

Re: **** Zone or No **** Zone, That Is The Question... That "result" is a sure sign this thread will be gone shortly. Ask me how I know....

Beechtalk forums aren't publicly accessible, for one. Another differing factor may be the ratio of moderators to posters. And especially how aggressive the moderators are willing to work to deal with miscreants. On PoA it is often stressed that moderators are unpaid volunteers, which appeals to...

Eh? I'm not offended by anything (except cheap wine.) I guess my writing has gone to hell if you drew that conclusion. Let me try again in a different way: If the MC rigorously enforced all the Rules of Conduct so that they warned and then banned members who violated the rules, you would be...

If a post seems to be inappropriate enough that it bothers you and seems to violate one of the many PoA rules, you can click on the icon next to the post to report it to the moderators. Keep in mind that sometimes the post is up long enough that if it has a lingering effect even if later...

This "relay race" idea seems to be EdFred's way of getting PoA pilots to physically meet up to punch embrace each other and sing Kumbaya. Oh all right, no way would he characterize it that way in this or any alternate reality. Looks like you're new here, so just to let you know this isn't...

My home airport of 77S has some reasonable legs. Nothing reasonable for anyone in nearby EUG, though.

Though it has many faults, for what it's worth, there is no sales or use tax in Oregon. Edit: Also, no ad valorem tax on privately owned aircraft, if I understand the Oregon statutes.

If it was previously reported, the FAA can't claim intent to deceive. I'm not sure how long the FAA hangs onto those old records, though. You should request the records the FAA has on you: https://www.faa.gov/licenses_certificates/airmen_certification/copy_of_certification_records/ If you find...

Not directed at me, but I'd like to take the opportunity to answer anyway. I reluctantly migrated from Usenet, but only because (if I recall correctly) Bob Gardner, who had cred as a poster because of his books, started a stampede away from the piloting newsgroups when he said he was leaving...

Paranoia is a thought process believed to be heavily influenced by anxiety or fear, often to the point of irrationality and delusion.[1] Paranoid thinking typically includes persecutory, or beliefs of conspiracy concerning a perceived threat towards oneself (e.g. "Everyone is out to get me").

Sounds bad. It could be that, but for the existence of the SZ, that person would have remained a civil-sounding poster to the board. But consider that we are posting to a thread that is violating an MC rule. And your discussion of why a poster was banned would seem to violate the rule "Bans and...
