Yes there are. Here in my area there is an operator that runs sight seeing in a Beaver on floats in San Francisco Bay. It would be a huge hit here if they could make it work out.

The part none of this scheme mentions is, Li-Ion batteries work a lot worse in the winter time. As much as 30-35% worse. If this operation was in Hawaii with the same temps all year round, the it would make sense but the Pacific Northwest can get cold. Maybe their 30 minutes of flight with 30...

If you don't like sweet and I don't, try this- It's made by the Red Tail Ale brewing company here in California. Absolutely my favorite. I'm not sure how far out of California it's available though. No HFCS made with jalapeños, mustard and even has beer in it! What's not to love?

What does this machine do that BlackFly doesn't? Seems like the same idea, only worse.

And it was popular. Many people are actually happy to pay a lot extra for a car just to make the sales process simple and easy. When people ***** about haggling at dealerships and praise Tesla for the "no haggle deal", I tell them to go into the dealership of your choice and demand to pay no...

It is true. I personally can't charge my Bolt at the Supercharger Network. The only reason? Elon won't let me. I'm not blaming Elon, or Tesla for keeping it exclusive, that's smart business, I was just pointing out that there are no technical reasons why I couldn't charge there if Elon were to...

I believe the Teslas sold in China come with both outlets. I also think their Supercharger network over there, that only Tesla owners can use, only have the Tesla plugs on them. I could be wrong on this though. Maybe the Tesla guys on here know more. I'm one of the "crazy fools" that bought a...

Not much. There are currently 5 different electric car charging standards in the world. Three of those can be found in North America. There is Tesla's proprietary format, then CCS (The one people had hoped would be the world standard) and CHAdeMO (a Japanese standard that they hoped to corner...

What cheesy journalism. :rolleyes:

Agreed. There is nothing wrong with using ethanol for fuel, but corn ethanol is really dumb. Switch Grass is the way to go.

Sounds like an individual airplane issue. Not enough to condemn an entire type of airplane. It seems like the same issues you had, could happen in any airplane with a vacuum system and electrical system. WRT this particular airplane, follow the wife's lead. She knows...

This airplane is my ideal, affordable, ordinary private pilot, Caribbean cruising machine. I too am one of those drawn to the Skymaster.

Don't forget the Britten Norman Islander. There are still many of those in use. If the mission is to carry people, or cargo over short distances, the speed penalty for fixed gear is worth the trade off for maintenance and insurance costs.

It's good to laugh. It's healthy and alleviates bitterness.

Ok. Big displacement then... :rolleyes: All is now right with the world.

Why? If you own your own airplane, you can do whatever, whenever without anybody's permission. It may not be legal, but you can do it.

I don't know that this is the case here or not, but often times successful people have egos and confidence that outstrip their actual abilities, or knowledge. It's pretty common in aviation. The ego and confidence brings professional success, then the success buys the airplane, then the...

It's been scud running weather around here this week and they really don't light up the mountains. Not the kind of flying I would do, but I'm kinda of a sissy flier these days.

You have a big ass hangar, so you need a big ass fan. https://www.bigassfans.com

I'm guessing the basic free download is Harbor Freight.
