The aircraft I fly fit me well and they are classics. I always feel like I am flying a machine. I don’t fantasize about flying like a bird or Superman. My dream is to fly an airplane. And, my dream has come true.

I do the 13-month deal every year. Doesn't everyone who has the flexibility?

Never left!

I can explain why knowing a little about the octal system as used in transponders would have been beneficial to me. I noticed that my Garmin *&%327 was not showing 8 or 9. I was dusting it off during some cockpit cleaning when the issue caught my attention. I contacted Garmin and they said to...

Right before stalling, my two planes start to shake, look for rudder help and the controls become very light. I don't have a stall warning horn so I depend on the clear messages that I receive from my airplane. I rarely focus on the air speed indicator right before a stall. Watching the ball...

MSR Hubba Hubba has served me well both airplane camping and bicycle camping.

A buddy has a Whittman Tailwind that he claims is comfortable. They are very fast for the engine they use. Of course, try and find a good one.

I am pretty sure one needs to be filed if a flight into or in a TFR is planned. It doesn't have to be activated.

How strong are you? I am not that strong and can move my plane on the flat by myself...in the grass on hard ground (2000 lbs with a tailwheel). I'd suggest you move it around a bit experimenting and then you'll know. Also I have one of these ramps for my tailwheel, plywood for the mains...

This helped me understand a bit about the octal system.

I stopped flying from 1974-2011 and when I returned transponders, TFRs and a bunch of other stuff were new to me. Actually several pilots in my circle didn’t now about 8 and 9.

I just learned that the numbers 8 and 9 are not used in squak codes. My transponder won’t register those anyway. I post this just in case some other readers don’t know this. I was ready to have my Garmin checked.

Nice video. Spring is coming. Here is my GoPro experiment from spring a couple of years ago.

Glory!

Just a heads up for those who might be interested: AOPA has some informative webinars. This Wednesday at @ 8pm Formation Flying. Enjoy. Flying close is a good ; however, can be very dangerous if not done correctly. Notice my buddies are looking left. I am in the lead and staying focused on my...

I have a Garmin 327 and plan to go with an 82 as the least expensive compliance. I may choose to let the deadline pass and opt to comply later if the prices drop. I fly about 100 hours a year and never have to fly into class C airspace. I do enter class C about a dozen times just for practice...
