This is interesting, and I haven't heard about it before. So correct me if I'm wrong. I own a 1956 172, I could add a non certified Dynon Panel to it as long as it passed the TSO specs? And here's the article you referenced from Val Avionics...

I'd say Jan Eggenfellner inspires a lot more hatred than he does as well. Although his Viking engine product has made a lot of people forget about his Subaru days.

I haven't seen that before, really interesting. Thanks for posting.

Finally remembered to take a picture of our only ramp rat today. The guys tell me this was bought and flown in with the intention of starting a skydiving school. Something happened, and this thing never moved again. The magnesium control surfaces have rotted off of it. I think some Bonanza...

Another stamping guy huh? I worked stamping maintenance for years at Toyota in Georgetown Ky. Now I work on the engineering side installing new equipment in all our stamping shops in North America. Sitting in San Antonio right now doing two sheet feeder replacements.

I agree, but I'm not even sure they'd sell that many if they were 210 knots plus. You're talking around a 50,000 dollar difference between their kit and a RV-9 kit. Is that speed worth 50k over an RV9? I'm sure some people would say so, but I don't think it would be a huge number. I'd build...

I know it doesn't look like that special of a picture, but I took this flying back to my home airport after passing my ppl checkride on tuesday! So it's my first picture as a licensed pilot.

I looked back over it, and finally saw the one you mentioned, somehow missed it before. Thanks. They sure don't get in a hurry do they?

I'm sure we all remember our favorite bravo buster. Friend of mine sent me this link today, https://www.muckrock.com/foi/united-states-of-america-10/faa-records-for-n731nr-97015/ Looks like someone requested his FAA records under the FOIA. Unless I missed something, apparently he didn't have...

Somebody forgot to check their NOTAMs https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/37322/f-16-pops-flares-grabbing-trumps-attention-after-plane-strays-into-airspace-over-rally

With possibly his life hanging in the balance, that's his answer. Somebody who cares for that man needs to sit him down and have a "come to Jesus" meeting with him.

Well, anti-authority is seen when an audi engineer is telling him how to fix his engine and he ignores him. Invulnerability and macho is getting in an unproven aircraft with an unproven engine that you know will overheat just taxiing on the ground and take it off.

I had mock checkride with DPE last week and the subject of the five hazardous attitudes came up during the oral, we talked about them and the raptor project came up. Peter is displaying at least 3 and maybe 4 of them. Macho, invulnerability, and anti-authority for sure. I just wish he'd stand...

https://infotel.ca/newsitem/kelowna-flight-cut-short-after-it-took-off-with-concrete-tie-down-attached/it77514 I think somebody forgot the final walkaround.

Why add another layer of possible failure, (putting gear up and down), just duct tape over the wheel openings to see if that is your issue.

Is that legal? I'm sure it's not smart. Some weird video effects in that one. Love the propeller tip trails.

Thanks for that, digging further turned up a wikipedia entry for the engine https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Porsche_PFM_3200 And a porsche aviation website https://www.porscheaviation.com/ Which has a picture of one of the strangest planes I've ever seen.

Website I visit has a daily posting where they pull a car ad from craigslist or wherever and vote on whether it's a good price or not. This was yesterdays post, a factory Porsche powered Mooney for 140k canadian...

He's going to taxi that plane to death. At least I hope he does, so he can't try to fly it.

Oh I get the "Its because the FAA says so", I was just wondering if anyone knew the reason behind it. I just can't wrap my head around the fact that I can buy a bunch of parts from Vans or Zenith and build a plane, but I can't take an old C150, tear it down to it's component parts and...
