You’d look cool in a Duke.

I’m guessing you realize you don’t have to camp in a tent, but understand that crowds aren’t everyone’s cup of tea. The EAA museum is a good one but the USAF Museum at Wright-Pat AFB in Dayton should be a stop on any aviation aficionado’s list.

I do what I did back in instrument training which is log the session from my Redbird BATD in my regular logbook like any other flight. IOW I don’t keep a separate logbook. My logbook has simulated instrument flight and flight simulator columns which is where the time gets annotated as...

Nope—I have first hand experience from the past 3 years as we’ve parked not camped in HBC west of Knapp. The rough dividing line between HBP and HBC is Knapp St, but they will mingle campers and parkers to the west of Knapp and south of Papa-1 for a few rows, and west of Knapp but north of...

My point is that as the stud rotates and backs out and that end of the push rod drops relative to the assembly the angular relation to the other end which is rotating around another pushrod bearing isn’t sufficient to induce a noticeable stick displacement relative to the other stick. As the...

I disagree— the control geometry IMO doesn’t support that conclusion, Also we have absolutely no idea how much time it took for this to happen orif it would have manifested in something discernible to the naked eye.

We get it— not all inspections are accomplished IAW the regs. But most likely this was not the result of a pencil whipped condition inspection, although there’s no way to be 100% sure. The bottom line is this particular installation error could very easily been overlooked even in a thorough...

I’m not exactly sure how they manage HBC and HBP but it doesn't seem to much of an issue.

I bought wristbands for the folks we rent our trailer from as part of our rental fee (we get our own wristbands from our volunteer hours). Anyway the bands came in the mail today. As for Scholler, as a Homebuilt Welcome Wagon driver I get to see pretty much all of Scholler (and all the camping...

Well E-AB/E-LSA aircraft have to receive a condition inspection with the scope and detail of part 43, Appendix D (IOW analogous to an annual) every 12 months. How well those inspections were done is anyone’s guess. This particular error could have easily been overlooked. Torque seal (which I...

Yeah. My impression is this was an installation error (and one that could be easily overlooked) and not a purposeful modification. Now there's an SB to alert others to this issue. This specific kind of mistake is pretty rare in the RV world because the kits are generally engineered in such a...

Ya gotta come at least once regardless of how you get there. First round is on me if you need just that extra bit of incentive :rofl:

Yep—I’ve seen and heard some pretty clueless pilots at Osh. It’s one of the reasons I’ve ditched the VFR arrival and now fly in IFR to avoid 99% of the jackassery.

I do a work up in the weeks prior to Osh. I practice following a track at 90KTS and 1000 AGL, along with tight right traffic spot landings descending from just past midfield downwind. I have a nearby uncontrolled field 38NM away that has light traffic that’s my go to for the pattern work. For...

It’s because initially both systems were developed by separate companies. Then a few years ago Dynon acquired AFS but kept producing both systems (sorta like Garmin did with the Apollo radios). For the OP, it’s kinda a Ford Chevy debate. All 3 (Garmin, Dyson, and AFS) are good systems. There...

Ditto. For my wife it's more like 3.5 max. We routinely make one 1000+NM trip a year (Osh). Since our bladders are the limiting factor it's a 2-leg trip for us with the one stop for gas and potty break roughly half-way. That stop costs us a maximum of 30 mins giving us a block time of 7 hrs...

I do like the fact that there are separate parking areas for specific categories, and don’t condone a free-for-all first come first serve system, but I’m also not opposed to accepting overflow. The original question was about masquerading as E-AB and I still think if the marshallers allowed it...

Ok then, noted — I’ll speak for myself and a few others that I’m 100% sure don’t give a hoot if they have to park non-experimentals in HBC/HBP. Spoiler alert — I know for a fact they have before because I’ve seen them and I’m not talking about the ones that get parked on the hard stand at the...

I thought SA was South Africa— is it some place in Australia?

You were told wrong. Get another CFI because if they don’t understand this fundamental requirement then who knows what else they don’t understand and erroneously passing on to their students.
