    UPS rant

    We sold a house long distance - the whole contract - with Docusign via email. When actual settlement needed signatures on myriad papers, the settlement attorney hired a local notary to come to our house with the paperwork (it, evidently, was all overnighted to her). The day after the "actual"...

    Anyone Fly RC Planes?

    I did a long time ago. I had a couple of simple planes and a helicopter (never much good with the helicopter). Then, a couple years ago, I bought my first drone hoping to get a new perspective on my landscape/seascape photography - and I did - even sold a few through my online galleries. But...

    Mayo

    Mayo is fine on a dressed up burger. Y'know with lettuce, tomato and onion. With that said, I just had a reheated burger from last nights grilling. It already had pepperjack cheese on it - all I added was a few healthy splashes of hot sauce.on the roll.

    What is this?

    From a goog image search: The Douglas BTD Destroyer is an American dive/torpedo bomber developed for the United States Navy during World War II. A small number had been delivered before the end of the war, but none saw combat.

    VFR into PHL?

    I can recall doing a touch-and-go at PHL in a Piper Colt during cross country training as a student pilot. No problem at all - but that was a good while back - 1966 to be exact. LOL, I'm sure it is a LOT different today.

    GPS backup

    Interesting. I am very recently getting back into flying after a ten-year hiatus. Sold my Ercoupe 10 years ago and just bought another (yeah, I do like this platform for low and slow along the coast where we live). So, with the potential loss of GPS and my penchant for 100-200 mile breakfast or...

    Used GA aircraft Prices

    I got back into flying about 16 years ago - after a 37 year hiatus. Decided to go the easy route ANF fly as a Sport Pilot. I bought an Ercoupe for $25K. Six years later there was a shift in the matrix and I decided to sell. I got $25K from the first person who looked at it (paid in actual cash)...

    EAA life membership value?

    I "was" thinking about EAA dues for a year but, instead, just opted to do a fundraising donation here at POA. I likely get more value here that at either EAA or AOPA (but I am an AOPA member for at least the current year). Ah, I am also a paid member of the Ercoupe Owners Club, Inc.

    I cant find a hangar.

    I bought my (new to me) Ercoupe with metal wings instead of the (usual) fabric - because I knew I would be on a ramp tiedown. There is a five year waiting list for hangars at the two airports near me in southern Delaware. I got one of the last three ramp spaces available the one slightly farther...

    EAA life membership value?

    There should be (could be?) tiers for different ages going in. As it now stands, I would have to become one of the oldest people alive to make it break even. As it now stands, I am close to pulling the trigger on a one-year membership. :cool:

    Congressional DJI Drone Ban

    Yes, ill raise my hand. I use the DJI small drones for landscape photography. They provide the best bang for the buck of any drones I've used or researched.

    Part 61 - Number of CFI's

    I had two flights scheduled with another instructor (from my old Part 61) FBO - but he cancelled twice the mornings of... Fortunately, I was (very recently) introduced to a CFI for a flying club at an air base - who also does freelance instruction. We are scheduled to fly tomorrow morning in my...

    Part 61 - Number of CFI's

    Something doesn't sound right there. I would look elsewhere but also realize that may not be easy to do. I just got a new plane - ferried to me two weeks ago. I need a flight review to be able to fly it - and contacted the large (Part 141) school at our airport. They wouldn't even talk to me...

    Thoughts on Bellanca's 7 ACA

    As Dana said, “it will make you a better pilot.” It will!!! I learned in a few different aircraft. Soloed in a Cherokee 140. Did most of my cross country training and solo in a Piper Colt. Had a couple hours in an original Cub - learned to hand prop and we did rolls and loops. Then I finished...

    1948 Ercoupe For Sale

    Should be 1400#. Most 'Coupes weigh in the area of just under 900# - leaving 500+/- for fuel and souls. You've got that right. I've got a 415-C, LSA, with the 1320# STC (up from 1260#). Empty weight is 880#, so when two of us fly we carry about two hours of fuel (with a VFR reserve) and nothing...

    Ocean City Air Show June 5th & 6th

    We're NOT flying to this but thought I'd post a reminder. (x-posted)... Is anyone planning to attend the OC Airshow this coming weekend? This is the third year for this "right in front of the beach" show in Ocean City, MD. I've already got my fingers crossed (not that it will help) for decent...
