As a fellow HAM, and liking Yaesu radios, I have the Yaesu 750, and it is great.... but also have an early Icom.. (A20) the headset interface for the Icom is better, easier to use as it can be plugged in and unplugged to use a a true handheld. The Yaesu headset adapter plugs in and has a...

No... no no no.. It is the track bar adjuster... so the plane will track the centerline when taxing...

how many died in car crashes??.. every plane crash is reported, and talked about... it is much safer than driving in a car, or walking down the street... Flying is fun, there are a lot of ways to have fun, some can kill ya., pick your fun!... no one is getting out of here alive, so chose to...

Thats at my home field!... Need to go find it and take a look...

My wife has lost it on almost every flight... she sits in the back of the Cherokee so she can see out, and I have a window vent to add more air back there... and she still loses it... Gal Zip Lock bags... there are a box full all the time in the seat back... Never fly without them!..

Yesterday we had a photo guy for a realtor come in and take photos as we are selling the house... he has a DJI and went to fly for the aerial video... and the software would not allow it to fly... the house is under the downwind for El Monte airport, so was a no go zone... it was interesting...

I'm in the same boat.... I drive past the airport on my way home from work every day,,, and the last time I went flying was Feb 3rd.. between packing up to move, weather, and life, there is just no time to go fly. Camguard it and fly it to dry out the inside, then park it as needed... I...

Using Garmin Pilot on a tablet, I had to change a setting to show weather as FIS-B, not the internet.. when connected to the GDL39. Looking for that setting on my phone, I do not see it, running GP 6.3.1... it may have changed, but my phone is not set up to use the GLD39 in my plane... just...

So the actual aluminum panel, was that made by someone, and is another one available?.. that looks great!.. and the throttle and mixture controles, I hope to do the same. and I hope to do the same concept to my 140... I think the -2- G5 install will be in my future if I go for an IR...

Very nice plane!.... an done that is set up to work for a long time. Being a 180, will work for training and cross country flying. al at a reasonable cost... and Cherokee's will almost land themselves if the approach is right on the money.. HAve fun with her and fly often!.

I have the Mx-170B radio from them, and it has worked great... ok, needed to have the connector in the tray cleaned once, but still a good radio... a slide in replacement for the Kx-155 would be sweeeet... When you put in the G5, will you also move the instruments around to better the...

Since I only fly IFR ( I Follow Roads) Ground speed is based on passing trucks on the interstate... If they are passing me, not good, if I'm passing them, good.... ( the magenta line on GP is helping change that) IAS changes so much based on under the clouds being pulled up or down, and...

If it works, FLY it !... VFR so what are all those gages needed for??... I dream of 2-G5's, new radios, new panel overlay, all that stuff... but really, only need ADS-B out, and maybe a working 2nd radio installed... have an old working Kx-170b that may get put in... so why spend a bunch...

I was out of flying for the same reason,,, Kids, life.... 24 years and I stepped back in.. first flight for the first 20 minutes it was like I had no idea what I was doing... then it just clicked.... spent about 10 hrs with a CFI, did not get my medical back as I was going LSA, but then my...

I have several of the MFJ1717's and the both tune up best at 135 MHz... 1.12:1.... ya, out of the HAM 2 meter band,.. and that is why I use them on my aircraft HT's.... MHJ= Mighty Fine Junk,,,.. it works, Ok, and is low cost.

I have a '67 140, with minimal equipment... and with an O-360 engine, it really screams... so for cost, the 2 annuals I have done cost $175 each for the IA, and about $1200 the first year, and $750 the 2nd for parts... I do all my own work so there is that.... I love this plane,,, see 150 mph...

If not in CAPS, then we would just be little pigs....

Adding a different antenna is the best way to provide better reception, and if you are not transmitting most things will not harm the radio... only when transmitting will there be issues. Having the antenna "match" the frequency is always better, but again to receive only it is not as...

I purchased an out of state plane, Oregon, and live in Kalifornstan... so the Tax man wanted 10% sales tax, AND the use tax.... But, I purchased the plane from my Dad, so it was a family sale, thus no "sales tax",... but still have to pay about $375 / year for the use tax. It is explained...
