    So What's the Scam on these Ebay Listings?

    The King Air auction has been ended early by the seller due to an "error in the listing". Yeah, right!

    So What's the Scam on these Ebay Listings?

    I've reported it, but feel free to report it again. I expect this listing will be gone tomorrow. Problems like this can be reported to the Security Center link at the bottom of any legitimate listing page. You'll need the item number, then select from the listing of problem subjects...

    The state of training

    I learned to fly only a few years ago at a medium-small airport and there was little instruction about the "innards" of the airplane. We learned the outside terms - empenage, horizontal stabilizer, etc - but not about the ribs, spars and other parts one doesn't see unless there's a problem. If I...

    worst case scenario question - need help

    That is not entirely correct. We had one in Portland, Oregon, (in a Burger King, no less) that was relatively rare in that it went the other way. About 5 years ago, my wife and I were simply looking for a fast meal and happened on this place. The Merry-Go-Round is, or was, was quite old , an...

    Runway Incursion -- double-check final

    Back to the original "double-check final". I had a near incident a couple of years ago. Checking base and final isn't enough. I was in a crowded run-up area waiting to depart. Because of other running and parked aircraft, I was only able to turn right 45 to the approach end of the runway and...

    Separate politics forum?

    Boy, that poll wasn't open long! I would have voted Absolutely Not! I've seen too many forums go up in flames over political arguments, and it seems that all a few people do is TROLL, TROLL, TROLL. Unless you want to get into the politics of the ADIZ, flight restrictions, Presidential...

    [NA]Good news/Bad news[NA]

    Back to the laptop ... Check Ebay for a motherboard. I've seen quite a few for an old Dell I have. Fortunately, I didn't need one.

    Got a puter problem

    If your device is NOT connected to an externally powered USB hub, try using one. I've had really strange things happen when the USB device tried to draw more power than the computer USB port would deliver - 500ma. That information cost Microsoft a lot of money - 3 hours of Indian tech time...

    [NA]Unable to See Harddrive2[NA]

    Gotta be a Dell laptop. There's no separate drive detection setup in the BIOS, it either finds the drives, or not. You can change the order of boot device. Try booting from a floppy, if you have the setup/recovery disk. You haven't given us the OS, so there may not be one. You'll have to set...

    AFSS Transition

    Same experience here. I try to call the McMinnville (OR) AFSS to get the local weather recordings, but now usually get the Boise AFSS. The weather recordings are for the Idaho area - none for Oregon. :( Thanks for the hint about the direct numbers - I'll have to put that in my cell phone...

    Resignation

    See the Site Admin forum The Site Admin forum has a very generalized explanation (I think) of what happened. All in all, I don't think it was a very good idea for Dr. Chein to have been the moderator of the Medical forum, he being one of the main contributors. A moderator has a difficult job...

    Give 'em a brake (road worker safety)

    I am a Land Surveyor and have had plenty of "opportunity" to work in and around highways and streets. Most of you would never believe the things I've seen people do while people are working nearby - even when they are directed to slow down by a flagger. I have had several friends with near hits...

    POA Questions

    How about one of these? (Full selection on the left) :) http://www.chiefaircraft.com/cgi-bin/rcm/hazel.cgi?action=serve&item=/Models/PowerAirplanes/Intro.html Everyone should be able to keep one of these planes rather than have to sell it to pay the taxes. I think fuel is cheaper too on a...

    1 dead cat

    We had 2 brothers who were with us for nearly 19 and nearly 20 years until year before last and last year. They had completely different personalities, which kind of complimented each other - one was a spitfire, the other a ragdoll. They shared the bed nightly with us, and we loved them very...

    Math Homework help (NA)

    I hate you guys (& gals) who can factor those things! Small numbers - sure. But 24 and 75? You just look at it and go "abracadabra" and write it out. :eek:

    How to install Carpet in C172

    My carpet has no fasteners. It is held down by the rear seat and by the front seat rails and seat belt anchor. It hasn't moved by itself in the 3 years I've owned the plane. Tyler
