    Capital gains on personal aircraft sale

    Don't tell them. The IRS is so understaffed and behind right they won't catch you. Assuming you haven't taken depreciation on it. If you do get caught just claim ignorance and pay the penalty.

    How does ‘using the can’ work on a light 4 place aircraft?

    I still have no idea what any of the above means.

    CO Alarm Help

    I think on he ground the readings are inaccurate, my mooney sometimes goes over 50, but I think it has a lot to do with which way the prevailing wind is. In level flight it is 0 or 1, sometimes in the climb goes to 7 and that depends if I do a fast climb or slow climb. Sometimes it is 1 or 2...

    NA. Who sandblasted? How difficult and messy is it?

    ignoring the cost for OP question, but for the experts on here, I have seen a process that uses water as the propellant. Thought the machine was relatively inexpensive, $15k. I might be getting into the process of builidng and painting large metal crates, 8'x8'x2'. Just high level researching.

    As the price of gas at the pump skyrockets

    This is what I bought my son for his first car, it was a compromise between him wanting something dumb like 1990's Maxda RX7 and something boring like a Honda Civic.......he had it for a good solid 6 weeks before he got a ticket going 89 in a 35....so now he is taking the bus again. I honestly...

    Structural Failure

    I more worry about the tail breaking off rather than the wing.

    ELT Battery gripe

    My 406 elt battery was $400 plus I think, I took it apart and the damn thing has the basic lithium cells you can buy anywhere, but also has a microchip that I am told keeps track of hours used and some other variables. Don’t know if this is meaningful improvement or not.

    Taxiway closed by notam due to snow/ice

    All right, this is why people don't bother asking questions on the internet. I am not some cowboy moron with an anti-authority attitude, glad someone just got done reading the FOI's. I did contact the administration and miracle of miracles they responded, saying it would be reopened by close...

    Taxiway closed by notam due to snow/ice

    The airport I am based at has closed the taxiway to the hangars, I assume due to snow and ice, maybe 2-3 inches. I am not concerned about the safety aspect of it as I have plenty of experience dealing with it, summary is go slow and plan ahead. Runway is open, tower is open. I need to go...

    Writing your own Will without lawyer

    Don't all lawyers think they are great? You don't know if your lawyer is any good till they get confronted by another lawyer and then they end up arguing over your pennies while spending both sides dollars. There is no money in a solution for them across anything they do, in any legal realm...

    Philips Sonicare

    How do you know the tooth brush was invented in Alabama? Because it is called a toothbrush, not a teeth brush.

    What a cluster…

    What happens when a hard core engineering company that used to lead the world starts to get run by a bunch of NYC wall street MBA types who don't know a flaperon from a fribillator. And the saudis are criminals.

    FAA Shuts Down Western US Airspace?!?!?

    The military-security industrial complex trying to justify how important they are for protecting us, think of the children man. If they didn't scare us every once in a while we might start to question the $80 billion a year plus military costs to keep us "safe." It has become big business.

    Retirement questions

    All of these proposed solutions, whether they work or not, requires leadership. We have none. As I discuss local politics locally I like to say I wouldn't trust them to run my popsicle stand. From the local level all the way to the top, they are all syncophant self serving morons, left and...

    [NA] Weird new credit card fraud thing? [/NA]

    Someone here says the bank eats the charges, no they dont....the vendor eats the charges and I am speaking as a vendor. I have zero idea why credit card transactions don't require a PIN. Would eliminate most of the fraud. Our financial system in this country is antiquated.

    Preflighted a C172M, Water in Tail.

    Let's not beat the maintenance guys up too much on this one. My old 152 would hold a little water and the interior was clean. I think surface tension of the water and the way the hole was made prevented it from draining properly. I have a vague recollection that it was listed in the POH to...
