Amazingly enough, the vast majority of the planes there do fly. I can only think of two or three true derelicts. All pavement is less than three years old, and there’s a great restaurant, training and maintenance, instrument approaches and new LED lighting, and an active culture. A stark...

This has been coming for a while. The combination of short length and close trees made for limited utility. According to locals, the chain link fence never let one through to the road - I got to witness a Cherokee end up in the fence once! Most tenants have fled to either 6B6 or nearby Crow...

cash? is that like boomer Venmo?

We learned pretty quickly (before I moved here, honestly) not to hire anyone who did the initial build. Good point, though. I'll keep an eye open for nicked wires.

We live in a fairly modern townhouse association of which I’ve been president for a few years, as well as de facto engineer - I get pinged every time something weird happens. We’ve had three hot outlets over the past year, amongst 16 units. No real damage but it’s starting to get concerning. I...

I don't recall the exact numbers, but I got my complex (and started my IR) in a pretty nice Arrow III that a friend owned - the insurance cost increases over the Cherokee 180 we had before that were incremental in terms of total cost of ownership. The advice about not worrying about full fuel...

I hear lots of good things about Baratza.

Kidneys will outlast ice, unlike hearts...

Ha. Having purchased human hearts for research, I'd bet that this was a research shipment. Given transplant viability timelines (and the limited number of hearts appropriate for transplant), no one is missing that delivery....

What are you planning on owning? I say train for the plane you plan on owning. Insurance is a small part of the total cost of ownership; the portion attributable to not holding an IR is even smaller.

To be clear - I'm not objecting to the general idea; I just don't have the experience (my friend is flying pt 135). Maybe someday - I only have 25hr or so in Cirrus, and I can't/won't really test the limits as our SR22 is non-FIKI.

I don't know much about the TKS options for the Mooneys, but I'm pretty sure that TKS offers a non-FIKI option for the series. Cirrus - pretty sure that everything since 2009 with TKS (most have it) is FIKI. 2008 and older is "precautionary only". Easy ways to tell: - FIKI has protected Vstab...

Nope. I’d say it’s unlikely to ever happen.

Garagejournal has pretty extensive "HF good/junk" threads. It's item-by-item. I love the storage, but wouldn't buy hand or power tools there. Some other stuff is decent; inexpensive air compressors and the like.

So, in practice, the carabiner is at the harness end, and it can't be seen by the pilot? I hope I'm misinterpreting. There are varying practices in climbing, but the trend is towards minimizing steps, particularly those that require disconnection from the system. I can't imagine a step that...

Holy $#^%! Is the tether permanently affixed to the harness? Is this something that you can check as a passenger? I've been climbing for a long time and missing this sort of check is inexcusable. I've done a couple of tandems (ultralight tow) and some beach-bluff lessons; would love to do...

They’re not the only ones... http://auroraliveweb.azurewebsites.net/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/APR-365-Aurora-Announces-Odysseus-Nov-14-2018.pdf

A couple of good friends worked on those same kites. One is still there. Whacky project. Scott who knows that software companies should stay away from hardware
