actually that's a recipe to increase your cost of ownership, and substantially

there seems to be a lot of open space right across the river

every time I've ridden in a mooney I've felt like I was looking out the mouth of a cave

My wife got a new HR-V about a month ago. So far it seems very nice and the CVT and traction control seem great on ice/snow so far.

CB should pop if the sector gear hits the stop. It must have had the wrong CB installed, or it was bypassed. Also you check the limit switches each annual, it's easy to check just raise the gear then use the hand crank to make sure there is some more travel available. Again, multiple ways to...

The only real way to have a bonanza gear problem is to get a broken rod end on one of the retract rods. Yes catastrophic sector gear failures can happen in the gearbox but that is exceptionally rare. The rod ends shouldn't be expected to last 40 years. If your plane has a few thousand hours...

Same engine in my travel air. IIRC 17kft will be about 6.5-7gph leaned for best power (which isn't much power)

no issue, he's confused. Yes, EMI can be a problem on some vehicles. For example people with pacemakers should not go inside the high voltage cabinet of a moving locomotive. Magnetos aren't even rounding error in that equation.

At 3900 lb takeoff wt WOT 2450 rpm 10k ft cruise 165ktas 18gph

Bryan, you are surely familiar with an arrow. A tiger will do exactly what the arrow will do in every way, but without needing to fold up the wheels.

sure it will. When i travel for work I can't fly myself, it's airlines or car. My cut-off is ~12 hours of driving. I live in a non-hub city with no direct flights to anywhere, so by the time I make a connection or 2, any airline trip is 12 hours minimum. For personal travel, in my beechcraft...

Ed you need to ask ICS, that's why they exist. You aren't the first one to go down this path.

Re: Using flight simulation as a stepping stone and affordable means to learning to f gotcha. I can see the value in teaching holding entries and such. Can't imagine it's of much use learning the mechanics of driving an airplane.

Re: Using flight simulation as a stepping stone and affordable means to learning to f I don't know what a "desktop ATD" is but if it sits on a desktop it can't be of much use. This is what I think of when someone says training in a sim. This is where I got my antonov type ratings, albeit in...

Hi Rachel, I have daughters coming up on your age in a few years. Clearly your dad was successful at getting you hooked on this flying disease. If you don't mind sharing, how did he do it ?

the key point. Is she cute? Low maintenance? Are you currently dating someone less appealing?

Re: Using flight simulation as a stepping stone and affordable means to learning to f Yes, it can be very economical, which is why it is used so much. I got several type ratings 100% in the sim and first time I sat in the cockpit of the real airplane was on a revenue flight. OTOH are you...

This thread is classic. Someone loses power while VFR in central Kansas and they get chastised that they's be in big trouble if they happened to be in the washington DC area in IMC when that happened. I must be seeing colors wrong because it seems like the red board to me. A bunch of people...
