I don't know where Compton is, I assume you're on one coast or the other. Doesn't really matter. It's just another place where people complain nonstop that they can't afford this or that. Meantime people in the middle of the country with much less income can have a weekday house, a lake house...

the fact that you choose to live in an expensive area doesn't change the math of debt. If all you can afford is a small apartment then that's all you can afford. Borrowing money doesn't magically create wealth, quite the opposite. If you aren't independently wealthy and want things that are more...

Definitely not ultimate fast for as much as it drinks and as small as it is. I could agree with ultimate cramped, or ultimate thirsty, or ultimate loud. It's priced for the value it provides, which isn't much.

That't just silly. Draw a line from peoria to mackinac island, it runs right across the middle of the lake and takes ~2:15 in my plane. Now deviate to the east over benton harbor instead of direct, that 2:15 becomes 2:25. To drive it would take all day.

Agree with Geoff. I know my airplane inside and out because i've touched and fixed every inch of it. A thick ops manual won't substitute for getting your hands dirty.

No point in saying "request" it's obvious you aren't calling to tell them happy birthday. Ditto for saying "checking in" when you checkin with a new sector

About 300 hours, give or take, i didn't keep track very well.

Yes, i have ferried plenty of light planes fom florida to south africa via brazil. And no, i won't fly my family across lake michigan, we go around.

wipe off what you can reach if it's bothering you, but water isn't going to remove the oil-based corrosion-X, nor would you want it to

Not a major alteration if it used the existing mounting rails for the new tray, which he almost certainly did. Really, how does this come up in conversation, and why does anyone you're talking to care ? Sounds like people with not enough to do.

My cherokee 6-300 fixed-gear had every speed mod except the lopresti cowl. They worked, the mods gave it 7-8 knots improvement. That got it up to the wildly optimistic book speed of 145ktas

Hi Tom, IMO the skyview is the cream of the crop in these things. Dynon really sets the standard for support and back-wards compatibility of new features for older hardware. Their track record on product support is as important as the product itself.

1800ft give or take, although we don't generally mow the whole thing short. When I need longer, like for the heavily loaded pawnee, we use a section line road, it's a full mile.

sitting in an airline lounge right now. The bad news is I have a 9 hour layover. The good news is it took me over 4 hours in line at customs so the layover seems shorter now.

Seems like a lot of effort to reinvent what used to be called a toll road.

yes, no problem. and 300/300XL (and i think 150XL) share the same database

I have a straight 300, not the new-fangled XL version same thing though. As mentioned it's pretty basic by modern standards but it works well and i find the interface much better than the KLN units

amateur hour. If your snowblower isn't at least 2000hp you aren't even trying. My former boss built this one.

I use it in our boat when the local station runs out of ethanol-free premium, which they sometimes do during peak boating season. Yes 100LL is expensive and plugs need to be cleaned occasionally, but I'm not about to put ethanol in the fiberglass fuel tanks. I also use 100LL in my lawnmowers...

we go twice a year. In the summer we fly our beechcraft, it's an easy day trip. This time of year we drive our toyota 4wd. I don't nave nearly enough airplane to make that trip reliably in the winter.
