But what about the wrong maintenance? Money being spent on this isn't being spent on (insert other *not-quite-airworthiness* item here) (assuming that your budget isn't unlimited). *could also include training, more flying, avionics upgrades, any number of things that could increase safety more...

Anyone wants to do a Kingdom Trails fly-in/ride-out next year, let me know.

Thanks! Looks good. Given the wider bars on the mountain bike, I would plan on pulling them off of the stem (leaving cables and hoses attached).

Link to that drivetrain cover?

A 29'er MTB should be no problem (mine isn't, but the Diamond is pretty cavernous and the access is impressive). There's not much left after you take the wheels and pedals off. I remove the bars and wire tie them to the fork. Take the seat off, or drop it all of the way down. in 2018 Raleigh is...

Kidding aside, for two bikes it's tight, but I think it would go if you got creative. I don't think that a Mooney is an option for a full-sized bike. Bonanza will both fit fine. I know that Cirrus isn't on the radar, but it fits bikes well.

Wanna buy a Diamond?

A decent bicycle pump works fine... Most of the modern mountain bike tires run similar pressures and air volumes to a typical GA tire... Scott

I did pretty extensive analysis for budgeting purposes (affordability) but never was there a line about rental cost. I've done a lot of analysis for determining my purpose of flights (which is always evolving) and that's more important, IMO, in determining what you need (what type of plane and...

The answer is far simpler than the hyper loop - Automated driving is what will kill the regionals, certainly. Same. Even at full price it's a good value, IMO.

Chatham on Cape Cod is right on a branch of the Cape Cod Rail Trail, which is 30+ miles of nice riding.

An honest question - is there clear guidance out there for how an airmet Tango should factor into your decision-making? For light turb, I just go. For moderate, depends on mission and passengers (and whether I'm VFR).

Flew to MVY Sunday. No issue. Most important decision-making factor hasn't been discussed. How hot is the friend?

Don't know how I didn't notice this but probably could have helped. If you're not yet out, give Aptis Aviation at 6b6 a call. They have a few pilots who have g1000 da-40 experience

Been using Solidworks forever, but for personal use I can't tout Shapeways enough.

Not to detract from the point (overall valid) but epoxies are generally pretty begnin stuff - it's the polyester resins (used in boats, auto repair, ect.. certainly not in airframe construction or repair) that I would think are a "must avoid". At occupational levels of exposure epoxy can...

No kidding. Tough to hear... Unlike the rest, I got to see him play once, at Stubbs BBQ in Austin a few years ago, and actually got to shake his hand (we were having lunch as they set up for the evenings show).

Pretty easy to get a Bluetooth obd reader and there are plenty of apps to show vitals. That said, I've got an older Mazda 3 and even at 160k I can't see why you'd worry about any of that stuff. Rock solid.

I've done almost exactly this with a laptop running Labview (blech) and a TI DAC. Python works too. It could probably be done with an Arduino pretty easily but not sure how to display the data. I suspect that for someone versed in app programming it would be pretty straightforward.
