    Led headlights. (Rant alert)

    these need to be banned. I'm a 21 year old, and hardly have the tired worn out eyes of a 60 year old. I still feel worried about the damage these selfish jerks are causing me when they pop on there high beams right in my face using these damn lights. The lights alone are probably detrimental to...

    (NA) ideas for pranks to play on old college buddy

    Mustard packets underneath the toilet seat, only possible if you have two bathrooms, unless you want mustard on your balls. let the family know not to use that one. Happened to me in high school, it was savage, I give props to whoever did it though.

    Not exactly the same but my grandma owns several small antique, liquor and drug stores, has this posted at one, Wish i would have taken a photo of it, hers had a funny picture of my 73 year old grandma brandishing her smith and Wesson .357 Magnum. She still shoots it too.

    Yeah some people are just plain rude. It helps to know that they literally have nothing better to do, which is sad.

    Constant speed props?

    Neither of those are available at my FBO. Even so, I like to be good and practiced before I make a big step.

    Constant speed props?

    :yeahthat: Bingo. I'm renting it for instruction. I'm paying for the aircraft and the instructor, taking the dual instruction. My savings are dwindling as we speak! XD

    Live and learn!

    Slow increments. It's wasn't really getting cooked I could just tell somthing was off, it was just a bit over the 200 notch on the tempature gauge, I should have started enriching well before I did, I was looking to see if I had been using too much throttle on decent before I even thought of...

    Constant speed props?

    Yeah I've been told it's a pretty complex machine. Should I go with the cessna first you think? I'm not sure what model it is, it looks just like the 172 skyhawk. I like the warrior more than the Skyhawk so I figured I'd go with the arrow.

    Constant speed props?

    It's likely, but I'm paying $110 to rent the plane anyway, so the extra $40 for instructors really hits hard. Hoping to keep instruction time to a minimum. Without endangering myself.

    Constant speed props?

    Yes i have. It seems pretty straight forward, lots of good info and in the owners manual for the arrow, the one im looking to fly. but I'm looking to see if anyone has tips on using them most efficiently?

    Constant speed props?

    Hello all, the instructors at the airport I fly out of are wanting me to try out a constant speed propeller aircraft. I've never flown in one. Any tips on them? What's it like setting engine power and RPM's separately? Any issues I should know about?
