    Failure in flight rivew !

    Omar, go back to the first CFI and have him or her sign you off for the ground portion of the flight review. He/She told you that you did well, so no reason you need to REPEAT it. AND you paid for it!

    Private plane

    Son in Law recently flew from Teterboro to West Palm for $600+, on a Citation. It was a charter of some sort, with open seats. I’ll ask him what site he found it on.

    In part two, they mention they will be getting an assist with an A&P, as well as the FAA. Should be a nice project. I’m going to subscribe and see how it turns out.

    What's the benefit of the 912iS over the 912ULS?

    Up until recently the 912 iS had issues with their gear boxes. Many required premature servicing. Eventually, late 2017-18, ROTAX came out with an improved gearbox and its a non issue. When I ordered my LSA, the factory recommended I build it with a ULS because of the problem at the time, which...

    Grumman Tiger was my first plane, followed by the twin Cougar, then a Diamond and now, going into retirement and LSA. All great aircraft, my LSA’s avionics are state of the art. All that said...I wish I never sold my tiger!

    Thinking about fixing my barn or building a hangar

    Are there any TAX implications in your state, county? That’s a consideration if there is. Me personally, I’d build the hanger with room to spare for your shop and To house the other equipment.

    Should Radios Be Required At Non-Towered Airports?

    I’ve flown, when and where NORDO aircrafts were In abundance. I started flying, as many have in a Cub. That said, unless you are flying an NORDO aircraft from yesteryear, GET a radio. It’s just safer...Not foolproof, as many an incident or accident has befallen those with radios, but if used and...

    Garmin G3X Touch

    As flyingcheesehead stated, the G3X Touch, just entered the certified market. I don’t see an upgraded follow on product coming so soon after introduction. After all, the only difference between the experimental and certified versions is, well, certification paperwork and pricing. The units are...

    Who here carries a handheld com transceiver?

    Stan, I purchased the Yaesu FTA 450L, just prior to Sporty coming out with their new model. I like the idea of the built in headset jacks, how do they work, have you tried them out? Like you, I use the radio to listen to ATIS and CTAF when lounging in the hanger. In my previous aircrafts, I’ve...

    Price of 100 LL

    Ive heard the argument, AVGAS inventory, doesn’t sell as fast, in most places like auto fuel does. Therefore the price remains higher before its adjusted with the next load. Personally, i think is all BS, but that’s just my 2 cents.
