    Flying with low/flat strut

    If the strut is flat, any shock to the landing gear leads to metal to metal contact in the strut. And that shock is transmitted to the spar. BAD idea.

    Best way to create and use custom checklists (electronic vs paper)?

    Something like this, But best would be one where emergencies are listed on the first page, one per line, and that points to a tab for that page. Like the airline in the pic.

    What is up with fractional jet ownership companies?

    People's Express did not fail. They merged/got bought by Continental. Who merged with United. Eastern did fail, mainly because the employees did not learn from history how Frank Lorenzo operated. There is a graphic showing the timeline of all the US airlines. Very few just die.

    Egregious FBO charges

    Except you DO know the fees at a restaurant. And can leave without incurring any. They do not charge you to walk in the door.

    using Foreflight in a Garmin plane?

    If you put an SD card in the slot, all those (actually several hundred parameters) are saved to the SD card. You only use the auto upload to Garmin that you get with using GP.

    using Foreflight in a Garmin plane?

    Also does not do EIS and data logging with auto upload. But I mainly run FF with my Garmin panel. And mainly only use GP for database updates.

    Engineer Ted's Hot Start Procedures for Injected Lycomings and Continentals

    Your alternate for Continental is a Flooded Start. It works, but if you over prime, you can have fuel dripping out of the engine and a fire hazard. I used to use this method all the time, but have reconsidered due to the fire risk.

    Great idea. I did fly on 9/12. More of a memorial to the day we couldn't fly.

    How much ethanol is too much

    As stated, rubbing alcohol is isopropanol. It is specifically allowed in my plane up to 1% to deal with water contamination. Other models of the same make allow up to 3%. No idea why the difference.
