    Which 172 type club has best forum?

    kentucky red -- done I find the site is working just fine. The original board founder left years ago but it has been fully operational and busy for a long time. Not much side issue chatter and in these shutter times perhaps not as busy, but it is for 172 folk a good source. Search history is...

    Best Info on COVID-19 I have seen. Please read

    Since we are locked in both links were informative...... refreshing to see some science. Hope this event will decrease some of the polarization we are experiencing. Some science based information in social media and government would be a welcome change.

    FAA response to shutdown on Annuals other calendar items

    Since we are a Shelter in Place county / state it seems the mechanics here put their lives over my dear 172 (good call from my perspective). No matter your personal persuasion on the virus the risk reward in the minds of these folks is theirs to call. Bottom line, a lot of services will be in...

    FAA response to shutdown on Annuals other calendar items

    I haven’t seen much yet on calendar based items like annuals. California is down for the count regarding mechanics and shops. Likely there will be a bunch of out of annual planes shortly. Any news on this and other calendar based fronts?

    Coronavirus hysteria is hurting every one.

    Another first world problem..... we are locked down shelter in place.. Not a major issue except my plane will be out of annual and there is no one that can come out to play. I wonder if they (the FAA and Insurance Gods) will be like the tax folks and offer an exemption for a couple of months...

    Things on the Yoke

    172K - 2 Ipad minis fit just fine, Pilot and Co. They fit beween the horns in the long side up position using Ram mounts down low enough not to obscure anything or bash anything. In a 172 high speed maneuvering (or anything) is just not in the cards. If things get real with the controls...

    Tesla Model 3 - Now I get the hype.

    Need to think more about the insurance. It would seem that the process chain for repair would be shorter... that has to be a chance for less expensive. 1. Tesla repair shops only service the limited number of models (inherent in the Tesla autos) 2. The Agent knows you from your car's...

    Tesla Model 3 - Now I get the hype.

    I guess you would not approve with a dead person being transported as well. :) Somewhere on the continuum to this extreme and the class 1 drivers license there will be a rational self driving solution for a bunch of folks who should have assistance.. I think we agree that if we were in your...

    Tesla Model 3 - Now I get the hype.

    Not the reason --- remember (weather you agree or not with the vision) Self driving is the goal and the right/left drive is not the issue.. I get it that it will not be soon or in all corner cases but the man has put his stamp on the vision. On the wiper front ... the intent is for verbal...

    Tesla Model 3 - Now I get the hype.

    Range 320 miles...... Acceleration beats most cars so perhaps you don't need 2-3 hours of fuel :) :)

    Tesla Model 3 - Now I get the hype.

    I thought the center display would be a distraction until I realized the speed is in the upper left corner --- very much in peripheral vision and the other items I usually watch like engine gauges tach gear selection ....... don't exist and are not needed :) (This from a 172k owner where ALL...

    Tesla Model 3 - Now I get the hype.

    A little more than a year since having to stop at a gas station, one service item - the Frunk latch. Nice not having to visit anyone for oil changes, smog, gas, and in our area no worries about stolen catalytic converter (3 in our neighborhood). And of course the dreaded service call was on...
