    My Attempt at a $115 ADS-B Receiver Build for Foreflight

    Brian, its really easy. You just kind of assemble everything. No special skills needed. I have tested with Avare and Foreflight. They both work great. Have yet to fiddle with weather though.

    All this talk of crispy carcinogens between two slices of fresh bread is making me starving.

    When to buy your own plane?

    4K/month is a lot of dough. 20 hrs in our club Archer III would cost $1,717 [20hrs * 117/hr * 0.7 (tach time factor)] + $79 https://www.lvfc.org/planes If I had the luxury of spending 1,700 per month let alone 4K, I'd be all over a Bo.

    Rocket Launching Plane

    What could possibly go wrong? It's cool, but why so much hassle. I think the approach Spacex is taking is the most logical way to get heavy loads into space.

    steveo livefeed on youtube

    I did catch that he made an average corporate pilot salary. In another part of the video he said he works 8 days a month. Seems like a wicked gig to me.

    Longer Term NYC Airport?

    Well, In all honesty I always rode it off peak when I was consulting around there. The times I came home peak times, it was like a sardine can. A few wise beer purchases at the station before departure made a huge difference at times.

    Steveo and Sean Tucker

    Great video. Love Sean's charismatic and bright persona. Steve is like Iceman, flies cold with no mistakes... This was a clean break from his videos, he was smiling all the time.

    tach vs. hobbs

    1.375 sounds ok to me. The club plane I fly usually is around 1.3. I take off from a class C airport so I taxi a lot at times, usually for free.

    Piper 28/180 model question

    I find the Hershey-bar wing more fun.

    Piper 28/180 model question

    model ends in 1 = tapered wing zero = Hershey bar wing PA-28-181 is a 180 hp Cherokee Archer with a tapered wing. PA-28-180 is a 180 HP Cherokee So if you are looking for a tapered wing, just look at the airplanes that end in 1.

    Longer Term NYC Airport?

    LiRR is awesome. I love getting a hot dog and beer in the basement. Painless way to travel also.

    There needs to be...

    I feel your pain. I too was lured by the low cost of the costco hot dog. Boy was it good. Really fatty. I felt like barfing, but it might have been worth it.

    Accident Rates for Common GA Aircraft

    What is consistent is that the fatality rate per accident is higher for faster airplanes. Makes sense.
