    Are 8's on pylons in slower aircraft even legal?

    Sorry, where I work in rural Alaska we are routinely 50+NM from the nearest sign that humans even exist. We joke about hitting a fence post, but they don't have fences out here.

    Dark Aero 1

    I just wanted to revisit what I last said in this thread a year ago. Everyone into experimental planes knows of the RV-15, which was first shown at Osh 2022. Well it's back again after a quiet year (causing some speculation). And...

    UFLYMIKE headsets are garbage.

    I fly for a living and I find the Bose A20s aren't really durable enough for professional use (in rural Alaska anyway). I like the audio part and they're comfortable, but you have to go way out of your way to baby that cord and the controller. I have two sets so I can send the other one in, but...

    Another FF + iPad question

    Interior Side Panel Material

    I used to work for the company that made most of those side wall lining panels. The big pieces with the window holes are thin fiberglass with a layer of decorative laminate on them. They shouldn't be anything like 0.125" before the decorative laminate is applied The sliding window pieces are (as...

    When does a leaseback make sense?

    When you put a plane on lease you have to rent it like everyone else for those 150 hours. You don't get to walk in on Saturday morning and take your plane for the weekend. Also, as pointed out by others, you'll be very disappointed at the condition of your plane. You will need to become...

    Coming soon to an airport near you: Activists attacking planes

    Pre 2020 perhaps. The irony (should they actually be held responsible) would be paying $50k to strip and repaint the plane with environmental hazardous materials
