Well, nevermind, I don't need to spend time reading vitriol. It's a shame folks get so testy and wigged out over stuff.

I just tried to look at the thread but it says I don't have access.. Was it in the spin zone?

It looks like right hand traffic over the bay to 28 would be easy... And save all the people in the houses some noise from such low traffic on the over terrain approach. Looked like fun

Yep, pretty much. My students may take 15-17 hrs to solo but they can fly in wind :-) and, since I don't make a big deal of it they think a 30* XWind at 17 G 22 is normal and just take it in stride. Later on I tell them it was hard. I had one kid say one day, that really was horrible...

Are you saying that you can't train students if the wind is high? How are they supposed to learn to handle it then? What happens if they get back from a solo XC and the wind has kicked up? They need to know how to make at least one survival landing. I flew with a student the other day with...

Yes, he sounds rigid... Good for her for passing yesterday!

KRBD it is then. And thanks for the reminder of the antenna forest ... I'm familiar with it but it's good to be reminded.

I take it Dallas executive used to be Redbird

I'd prefer slightly cheaper...

My husband and I might be flying into Dallas from the west and need to go to downtown. North Harwood off Woodall Rogers. I don't want to fly into Love field... I'm thinking maybe Redbird or Lancaster? Any local recommendations?

I am 5'2"" and flew a C180 in the back country in Idaho. Very pretty country, exciting new learning curve for me. I couldn't reach the manual flap handle at all without completely leaning over and even then it was difficult. So, the woman flying with me ( the owner of the plane and back...

I use plastic cleaner for the canopy. Looked at the log... At the last inspection it only had 22 hrs on it since new . New 2006 inspected oct. 2013 That's not much time. Seal probably dried out and cracked. Heck I've put easy 15 hrs on it since I got it. ~~~~~~ Just talked to...

Thanks guys. I'll talk to the prop shop and to whirlwind as well. It wasn't a small amount of grease, well, it is a small amount but it certainly spread itself about! The differential diagnosis is that the ooze is asymmetrical - one side is completely dry and clean the other hub is icky...

Flew the eagle today. First time since I've brought her home. Flew about 50 mins. TOLs and lotsa low approaches. Got her back in the hangar and noticed there was grease along one blade of the prop. and on the cowling and center portion of the upper wing and little dots on my canopy! Sheesh...

I've never seen one those gizmos before... What is it? How do you stay in the middle?

It sure helped with th CG ....

BRRRRRR

~~~~ lightening hole flange. New owner .. Maybe someday

Well, there aren't any new halos available till after Christmas so I'll just use a ribbon for now and I did order a mesh helmet from pops as well. I have Velcro thingies that I use to secure the battery part of the Zulus in place. They don't come loose during inverted spins. I won't be...

Yes they do. Why?
