    Forward vs Aft CG and Cruise Speed/Efficiency

    My particular Cardinal was very nose heavy (3 blade prop), and doing W&B it became obvious you would have to haul gold ingots to ever have a concern about rear limits. I also contribute at least part of it to the stabilator instead of conventional stabilizer/elevator/trim tab.

    Forward vs Aft CG and Cruise Speed/Efficiency

    In the Cardinal RG I used to own I accidentally discovered it was much faster with an aft CG. I was taking daughter and boyfriend on a flight. On the leg home she decided to ride in back instead of up front with me. Immediate 10 knot increase in cruise, something which repeated every time after...

    What is too windy for training in a 172?

    I'd like to know what flight school that is, so I can toss out the resumes of anyone who trained or taught there.

    Tug advice.

    All the cool kids have AC Air. Buy once, cry once. As the owner of the company told me at a trade show "it's cheaper than hitting the hangar wall even one time". He wasn't wrong. being able to stand by a wing tip or the back of the hangar is priceless.. As a bonus: it packs enough grunt to get...

    IH Scout fans: What do you think of the new one?

    Translation: they'll be belly up in a year. We had a '59 IH step van converted to a camper when I was a kid. BD240 straight six and 4 speed. Valve adjustment was done with the engine running. I learned to drive in a '71 Travelall with 232 straight six and the same 4 speed. My dad's baby was...

    Rant: Exercising PIC, no not that PIC

    I don't see the issue. It had shiny paint and a new GPS navigator - the two most important things to anyone purchasing and aircraft. /s

    Thinking of Alaskan seasonal flying job

    Yes, it does happen on wheels also. You forgot dead seals, dead bodies, Gatorade, pizza rolls, canned goods, rotten produce, soda pop, tires, Amazon & Walmart boxes, mail, satellite dishes, appliances food packages. But you also transport the native population, which is the only reason any of...

    Thinking of Alaskan seasonal flying job

    I came to Alaska almost three years ago to fly at a Part 135 operation. I left a very urban job at a big airplane company to do it. Like the OP I was surprised to get the support of my significant other when I expected "oh hell no". Our operation is in rural SW Alaska. It's not at all what you...

    Boeing CEO is taking a pay cut

    Largest US exporter of, well, anything. By a large margin. You can guarantee a bail out of it comes to that. As for needing a cultural change, they had one. It just went the wrong directions
