I need to replace the bungees on my Colt (pa-22-135). I have seen the videos about installing the bungees and can make a tool to do so, but I was looking for a good source on the best way to get the hydrosorbs off the plane... Anybody have a good reference they'd care to share? Thanks ML

Because if you are from southeast Missouri and you've been flying through weeks of high temperature and high humidity northern Michigan is like a cool drink of water!

Thanks for the reply. What does "off label" mean? Does that mean prescribed for something other than its usual purpose? I think his doc screwed him on this... This was the first medicine prescribed and I'm not sure why the doc didn't start him on something more conventional and which would...

If lamictal was prescribed as a mood stabilizer by a primary physician with no diagnosis of any psychological issues other than patients statements regarding high levels of irratibility, is there a path to obtaining a medicAl? Can patient quit using the drug and, assuming there is no more...

John: Help out a noob here: what does "almost as fast as" mean? I've seen pretty widely varying figures from various sources so an objective answer would be a help. Thanks. ML

I am in, and trained in, southeast Mo.

denverpilot: I always do my best to "be careful" ;-) I certainly understand what you are saying and I'm not saying his theory is accurate. Just that it's his theory. So far he has kept the plane up well and things that needed fixing were fixed pretty quickly. Maybe he's got more free time...

Yes, I am lucky to have been able to accomplish this so cheaply. I feel foolish having considered spending three times as much for an accelerated course. The instructor is a semi-retired pilot who used to run a flight school. He stays moderately busy both with instructing and acting as a...

When I started training I complained on this forum about both the instructor I was using and the plane I was flying. As I gained more experience I realized that both of my complaints, for the most part, were baseless and based mainly on my lack of knowledge and my type A personality. (Type A...

I need to get my wife a quality headset and she has a small head. My Zulu 2 don't fit her unless she puts something under the top band to hold it off her head about an inch. I know light speed makes a tall cushion but I doubt it's that much taller. I'm gong to call and inquire tomorrow (or...

Passed my check ride yesterday.... Now I can seriously start plane shopping! Nice to be able to get up this morning without feeling that weight hanging over me

Passed my written knowledge exam Friday. My instructor had requested I shoot him a text as soon as soon I got done to let him know how I did. Since it was April 1st, I decided to have a little fun. I should note that my instructor is a gold seal instructor but he is rather laid back in his...

Budget? For the plane of for gps? Looking for a suitable first plane capable of caring 2 adults with two kids and baggage for cross country trips. Search has been centered on c-182 pretty much. Although I am game for anything that fits the mission. Like to stay in the neighborhood of...

Friend and I are student pilots- looked at a plane yesterday to purchase. No gps is coming with the plane. We were adding up what we would need to spend and I'm at a loss on where to start on figuring out what technology to add. So, assuming new pilots, moderate amount of cross country...

Did my solo xc today. Interesting day for me as the wind was erratic and had landings with wind speeds from 10 at first airport to 15 at second to calm at the third. First two landings were first solos at a towered airport and the second one of them was at an airport I haven't been to before...

Ten hours since first part of December. Soloed two days ago with 10-12 winds 10-15 degrees off the runway which made it easy. (lesson before that they were 90 degrees off the runway and it still wasn't too bad). Can't get back to the plane until Friday which means two weeks in a row of one...

Again, thanks for all the input. I appreciate all the comments and have put them all in the hopper and madey decision to continue where I am for the time being with some adjustments. I agree I need to fly more often. Soloed yesterday so I will be flying more frequently now that I don't have...

2: i know what you mean about landings just clicking at some point... Lesson before last the first several were the same as always: terrible. Then, somehow, one worked. Then the next was easier... And the next. And the next. Now I can't figure out how I was missing so badly before. Like...

Kelvin: Me not having the syllabus is not a problem for me. I understand that is an issue for some people but it isn't for me.

Thank you all for your comments. Talked with cfi yesterday and think we are more on the same page now. It seems we were both making some assumptions that were not entirely true. Hopefully we are on track now. Should have just addressed this a few lessons ago but I tend to be very...
