Just depends on what you're flying and how much real estate you have to work with. If you want the bigger iPad, I've heard good thing about the 9.7 iPad Pro being better to see in bright sunlight. I'm currently using a Mini in the Bonanza, but had enough space between the yoke handles in my...

It's spring loaded and puts pressure on the top and bottom of the iPad. The upper and lower channels surround the iPad versus the X grip that only touches the sides at 4 points allowing it to potentially slip. It's rock solid, even in turbulence. I had an X grip for my iPhone 6 and it get...

Well, any aircraft is going to cost money if you pick something without doing a thorough pre-buy, doesn't matter what brand. Even then it's a roll of the dice but we like to play that game... :D I haven't seen anything over the top with my Bo yet (knock on wood), but I understand that...

This works a whole lot better if you want to keep the case on at all times: http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/avpages/ramipad11-12269.php?clickkey=118344 I've got a spare one I can sell you. Went back to using my Mini without the case, so it just sits in my flight bag at the hangar...

Just curious, why'd you pick the Arrow if money isn't an issue? Future training leaseback or straight to a training bird? Cheers, Brian

My guess, to deliver the mail... :eek: At one point they had DC-9's and B727's. https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/51/3a/3d/513a3d6f919865584530618ad474f12d.jpg Cheers, Brian

No kidding, yesterday seemed to be especially harsh... :( For me in 2016: - Flew 130 hours between the Mooney and Bo - Sold our first plane in August and bought our second plane 4 days later - Passed the Commercial SEL check ride in December - Added 5 new states and 26 airports to the logbook -...

Last set for this month/year as I believe snow and rain are in the forecast for tomorrow. Cheers, Brian

I'd head over to The Railwire or nScale.net before those two, which are more for comic relief than anything else IMHO. They are also heavily biased towards HO scale. http://www.therailwire.net/forum/index.php http://www.nscale.net/forums/forum.php P.S. I've been building N Scale model...

I just followed my initail CFI's log protocol from way back and just log one line, even for multiple airports within a single day (i.e. KCPS-KGRI-KEVW-KRNO 3 ldgs, 8.6 hrs, Notes: 1,415 NM Xctry). Had no impact on going for the CPL check ride two weeks ago with two logbooks to weed through. I...

Thanks. It's a lot different flying out here, especially when you're at 10,500' msl circling overhead, the rim of the crater is at 8,100' and the lake is at 6,178'.... :) Hard to believe that "slope" to the lake is 2,000 feet tall.... Cheers, Brian

To add on to what @James331 already said (which is spot on), KISS. Don't over think the entire process and you'll do just fine. I just completed (and passed) my CPL ASEL check ride back on 17 Dec. Did the test with a DPE based out of Truckee. Spent 2.5 hours doing paperwork, logbook review...

Post Christmas flight today up to Klamath Falls, OR and Crater Lake. Cheers, Brian

I worked great the couple of times I used it. I turned it on about 4 hours before the intended flight time from home or in some cases left it on overnight. The built in thermostat would cycle the heating elements on and off to retain the 70F temp they advertise. I also used a couple moving...

I'm an "other" guy as well. I use FlyQ EFB with a Stratus 2 and Aerovie for weather planning (love the vertical weather profile capability). I'm used to it now. I'd switch to Flypln Go, but they don't support the Stratus 2 and I'm not about to buy another receiver since I'm basically free and...

Sale Pending, Thanks!

I have an Aircraft Heaters Quad Hornet engine pre-heater for sale. I used it last winter with my Mooney and no longer need it because my Bonanza has a Reiff Pre-Heat System installed. http://www.aircraftheaters.com/aircraftheaters Thermostatically controlled (70° F) 4 fans & 4 heating modules...

Flew out to Sheltor Cove, CA (0Q5) last weekend. Beautiful day! Cheers, Brian

Yes, I have. Put myself through college working retail back in the early 90's. Can be comical at times, but I've never resorted to poking fun at customers or calling them goobers because they wanted to camp out in the wee hours of the morning for the latest marketing gizmo. It was my job to...

None were that slow that I saw, but some were to fast... The guy in front of me passed out as soon as the medic pulled the trigger and it sliced him pretty good. Looked like a really bad paper cut. At least they were nice enough to have mats down so the dude didn't end up with a busted nose...
