    Monkey to Oshkosh and Beyond!

    :eek: i just realized that I'm in the same state as the monkey. .... geographically I mean. Not plasticized, melted with my hands above my head. Just to be clear.

    Plane Owners - Would You Rent out your Plane?

    Fair enough Valor, thanks for road testing your idea with us. Personally if I were going to do something like that, I'd go down a leaseback approach with my local FBO. People I know, the people who already maintain my plane and instructors that I trust and use myself. Even with that it's a...

    If I were flying across country in a sweet SR22 for the 1st time AND picking up the monkey enroute..

    Sounds wise, although I can't believe you're making him slum it without a king size bed.

    Enterprise Rent-A-Car Rant/Good Review

    Im disappointed with Enterprise. AOPA have supposedly negotiated a deal that provides access to cars at GA airports through them. The few times I have tried to use it p, I've had difficulty and finally had to agree to an SUV rental last year before it was a sufficiently high class for them to...

    Alton Bay Ice runway (B18)

    Did anyone go? Seems a little too gusty this weekend for me, but I'd love to do it!

    What is the flight from Florida to the Bahamas like in a single engine?

    Sounds like fun! Any airport recommendations?

    Any CFO members here?

    Agree with the points above, the email digest is a bit of an old approach and can be hard to keep up with in comparison to a forum format but a great source of information, and the website isn't updated too often. The information on the site and the digest list there is invaluable. Over a...

    Is it easy to get in an out of KLAL during the week, or is it worth flying into a nearby airport and driving in?

    Building a SDR CTAF monitor. Advice?

    Take a look at the RTLSDR-Airband project (https://github.com/szpajder/RTLSDR-Airband). That looks like it might have what you're looking for.

    Flying commercial to New York City, which airport?

    If you're on public transport and going to midtown, EWR and JFK are convenient (in that order), and bring you right into Penn Station. If you're taking an Uber, LGA usually gives cheaper flights and a more frequent schedule. The downside is flights are more commonly delayed there (at least in my...

    Bourbon

    Just finished off the trip here with a glass of the Dalwhinnie '92 Distillers Edition (it's an 18-year), very good and at the opposite end of the scotch spectrum from Cajun. Excellent way to end the holiday trip.

    Plane tug for cheap people

    @bnt83 nice idea! How is that mobility scooter tug approach working out? Does it have enough power to move the Cardinal up a slight incline?

    TFR for the Hudson River Corridor modified

    I was sad to see the corridor TFR (especially as it is perfect weather for it today), but this looks like a worse compromise. Squeezing the opposing traffic into a narrow corridor already raises the risk, and then defining that corridor by a set of coordinates, rather than a visual landmark in...

    What to do with a bunch of money?

    Your sentence is four words too long.

    Northeast Fly-in Nov 20th-KBID or KGON

    I'm in. See you there. For anyone on the fence, the restaurant at Keene also has a pick and mix candy and ice cream bar (just in case that is important information) :)

    Carbon Fiber Skinning Plastic Parts

    That's interesting. I'd not heard about the corrosion issue before. It looks like the corrosion is caused by direct fiber to aluminum. It would be interesting to see if this is still the case with the CF encased in epoxy, or whether the epoxy would act as a suitable insulator. On #2, I assume a...

    Carbon Fiber Skinning Plastic Parts

    Has anyone used a Carbon Fiber Skinning technique to cover, reinforce and upgrade existing interior plastic parts? http://www.playwithcarbon.com/skinning-kit-1/ (as an example) Would such an change be legal? To me it looks like it would comply with Part 43, Appendix C, Para C parts 9 and 11.
