I made my own redneck cooler with a cooler, modified 12V fan, vent and ice. It works fine in Atlanta heat.

Man that is awesome. Wonder if it is real? Pics would help.

Test flew the Tiger and test flew my Bonanza. I’d have bought without personally but I’d prefer at least somebody I trusted have flown it.

I agree on Airnav. I always call. They usually ask my tail number and expect me. Some FBOs for liability reasons want you to bring your own ropes; always ask that.

I wasn’t going to chime in but since others have had examples of non plane related use of this method... I’ve written many letters to owners of dilapidated homes and told them my intentions. I’m not a house flipper, I’m just cheap. It is important to separate yourself from brokers. I tell them...

Yep, I'm dead under the Bravo of ATL and I know guys that haven't even investigated ADSB options and probably won't until caught.... I don't get the mentality but they do exist.

2 weeks. It caused a stronger exterior preflight but no issues.

Some FBOs literally seem to hide the SS! Not a bad idea, but may be labor intensive.

Yep. KRHP. Sorry.

KPIM has a crew car and Callaway area has some fun restaurants. KEUF in Eufaula has a crew car and restaurants (I suggest you overfly the state park nearby on the Georgia side that has the canyons) KHMP is a NC landing in your logbook and a great pizza and craft beer (for pax) spot very close...

I’m not sure it’s been mentioned but holding costs are key to plane price It seems. I just lost my Grumman Tiger to a hail storm. I can’t come close to buying another Tiger with the funds I bought the Tiger for in 2017. I’m looking at Bonanzas which, as said, are a bit lower. Yes lower...

The plane value is not the kicker. My plane is around 6% of my net worth. The danger is how illiquid my funds are. If I had a surprise overhaul, I’d be hurting for cash. My net value would remain level but I would have to sell something, borrow or cash flow. In other words, a great income would...

My wife was deadly nervous. I, like the OP, told her each step why we felt bumps and that we were fine. She also started drinking a small bottle of her favorite wine as I untied the plane. It took probably five flights but she started asking to fly to lunches and such. I wouldn’t say she adores...

Man that creek shows a lot about the movement of the plates! The video makes me miss my Tiger all the more; lost it to a hail storm in June....

I have had my ticket during my sons 8-10 years of age. He sits in the back. He sits directly behind me if his mom is right seat. He is In the right rear seat if it is just he and I so I can see him. He has ANR Bluetooth headsets that are not part of my comm (my plan only has two place comm). He...

I think you are fine.....unless you are a YouTuber....

So great. I’m jealous but enjoyed the report.

Thanks. Keep up your insurance folks. Glad I did. It’s emotional enough without the full financial hit.

My insurance just this week gave me one word for my plane regarding #*&@ing hail damage. Totaled.

When I bought my plane, I had the cash. I also had an emergency fund that would cover first year surprises but not quite an overhaul. I bought a plane with less than 50 hours since a reputable overhaul; not a guarantee but safer. What I couldn’t and can’t afford is hangar rental ($500 a month...
