    Does RPM refer to the prop or the engine?

    I assume you're talking about a fixed-pitch prop (vs constant speed). Engine RPM = prop RPM in this case, such as a C172 or Piper Warrior, and most trainers. For now, thats all you really need to know. If you are curious about constant speed props, this is a good read...

    Value ANR - Anyone with Victor 1 ANR Experience?

    They look the same as the avshop 450 rebranded-Lightspeeds: http://www.avshopdesign.com/ Which I have had one since 2011 and generally enjoy them. I use a quiet tech halo in-ear headset (so much nicer for summer flying, no ear sweat!) and the pax use the ANR now... but I still think I got a...

    Uncontrolled fields with airline service?

    What airports are uncontrolled but have scheduled airline service? I don't know of any around Ohio... ( that's all I want to know, not your opinion on politics :-) ) -Mike

    TSA requires photos of flight schools?

    Possibly confused photo ID and verification of citizenship with "lets take a picture of everyone"??? Odd, for sure.

    [APP]: Flight Gear

    I'd recommend providing the app for free to some folks who review and can provide feedback, maybe get them to write a review and offer some advice on tweaks. Asking someone to pay $4 for something then asking for feedback isn't a good business model. Apps with a time limit generally don't fly...

    Forecasting tops

    Thanks guys. This is helpful. Scott - OP40 or RUC? Anyone know of a site that explains the pro/cons? Do you have a webinar on those? Or is any skew-t the same reading? Before my membership lapsed I did the basic ones - stopped the hardcode weather learning to focus on my IFR ticket (which...

    Forecasting tops

    Attached is todays 12z sounding forecast+24hrs for JOT (8am local tmrw). I'm new to this type of display, and the clouds in general :-) I can see where the dewpoint spread closes and that corresponds with the scattered 5000 ovc 7000 forecast... But what about tops? Is there any published tops...

    Really? Can you point me to the existing product?

    (Remote Control) Turning on Your Engine Heater

    Right, they call that paid advertising. The classifieds generally mean a person is selling something they own. Not selling a product or running a business. The right approach as not to offend most would be to participate in the forum, and put a small tag/ad in your signature. Or... approach...

    (Remote Control) Turning on Your Engine Heater

    Yes, you can. But you really dont want to be heating up the oil to 70-90f and then letting it cool again. You will get moisture in there, which, if you dont fly for extended times can be a problem...

    (Remote Control) Turning on Your Engine Heater

    I'm confused about your approach here. You advertise a (FREE) app but then sell the box. Why not post what you really have here "Remote engine preheater with iphone app control for $290"??? I think its a good idea, if implemented well probably a good product. I question the labeling on the...

    The best weather on the Internet for pilots

    You probably are not the target audience, pigpen. I found Scott's site wonderful for filling in gaps on my weather knowledge while I was still a "blue sky for me" flier, and now that I'm wrapping up the instrument stuff I'll rejoin to get all the things filled-in I wanted to know but didnt have...

    1940 Aeronca Chief

    I question the value of the logs from birth for a 60+ year old airplane. Yes, cool and valuable as a historical account. No, not valuable in determining to buy a plane at this price point and mission. Needs an experienced A&P to go thru and say its peachy in its current form. regards, Mike

    Piper Apache $23k

    Wow. I was thinking O-360 mins around 8-9... Didnt know the O-320 could sip that gently! Glad to clear that up...

    Piper Apache $23k

    Not to poke, but wouldn't it be $130/hr at 11gph, as its 11gph per engine? (assuming $6/hr gas)? good luck, if I had an MEL need it'd be on my list!
