QT Halos

You said for one person. Buy a medical "E" tank off of eBay with a pulse-dose regulator. You can easily get both for less than $100. Get a dive shop or welding shop (might need an adapter for the latter) or get your AME to give you a prescription to get it filled at a medical supply place...

> "My 91 year old mom has been told she needs a molar extracted. It's got a crown and bridge covering the next missing tooth so when they remove it, she will have two molars missing." If the molar has to come out it must be bacause at some point it's had a root canal and the root has fractured...

Thanks. Good to know.

Dukes have always seemed an ugly plane to me, with performance to match. Of course I hope nobody got hurt with this accident but one less Duke in the world is no loss to humanity.

> Samsung Galaxy Tab Active 2 > Is drop proof, dust proof, water proof, etc. Has optional LTE for $100 more, has stylus to take notes with as G-Pilot has a scratchpad. And the perfect size. How bright is the screen, in nits? If you know. iPads may have taken over in planes without canopies...

How come in these discussions I never read about Windows tablets? Win 7 is solid. 10 is supposed to be but it's sneaky and I haven't learned to like it yet. The new sunlight-readable Surface 6.1 tablet is the cat's meow. In any case, does anyone have any comments to offer on TrueFlight's...

There was a well-known aviation writer named Martin Caiden . . . surely almost everyone knows his name and some of his history . . . who owned one of these. He had it dressed out in Luftwaffe colors and reading about him just now I'm reading his JU-52 was the oldest one flying - 1936. He sold...

I thought so too at one time. I bought a Prince prop with "P-tips" which are in effect the same as the Q-tipped props. But then I started reading some things by Paul Lipps. His props have been taking first place for years at Reno, particularly in the Bi-Plane division. His material can be...

I've admired this little unit since it came out and it appears, like all things electronic, to just be getting better. It integrates perfectly with my KR-76A with encoder. It has wi-fi and bluetooth, som my question is whether it will display my transponder code I'm putting out on my 660...

That's it. Thank you very much!

I used to love listening to Art Bell. He obviously loved what he did and did it with grace, even with crazy callers. He intorudced some really interesting people and ideas into the ether . He did not talk "down" to the audience, many of which don't have a lot of brain cells to rub together...

Somebody came up with a design, Canadian if I'm not mistaken, with an extra big fuselage that would accomodate two people sleeping in the back plus supplies for trips out into the bush. I think it was tricycle gear and had a big engine and was about the size length and width of a C-210. It...

This fellow was really current with his plane and made a spectacular approach. Finding himself slow, he pushed throttles forward and immediately went into a 70° bank which caused him to hit the ground out of control. What is it about the MU-2 that can cause this? What's the lesson...

Sorry no . . . I was hoping to learn why swivel adjusters aren't used normally in certified aircraft application. It's possible rollers are used but I don't even know that for sure at this point. Interesting subject.

That relationship is extremely important because exactly as you've said, pressure exerted that's not perfectly centered will cause guide wear . . . and it's all downhill from there. I know my guides are perfectly placed and valves perfectly concentric upon the seats because I've had my engine...

> " . . .cylinder shops can correct the rocker contact and that will keep your valve guides happy . . ." How do they do that? That is, how do they correct the rocker contact if the geometry is off? Serious question . . . not looking to argue about anything.

> "Seems a bit of a harsh indictment." Of Cirrus drivers? Or of people who despite all their diligence in attempting to become proficient, never get there? There are some people who, no matter how much instruction they undergo, just don't have the makings of being a proficient pilot. I'm...

https://goo.gl/WyeYjx There may be some useful info in this old thread. I'm pretty knowledgeable about dental implants but no sense repeating stuff that's already been posted. I apologize in advance for all the unnecessary verbiage I contributed on that thread. The ninth grade typing class I...

I wonder if it would be accurate to say it's the maritime version of whiteout? Even without the rating, anyone signed off to fly solo ought to at least know how to use an artificial horizon wouldn't you think? And not having the sense to turn on the autopilot . . . or maybe he didn't have...
