Study up on the Skew-T, it is very useful. LLWS affects larger aircraft the most. During my climb up into a 60 kt shear after a tornado-producing cold front in Feb 2012, it was very smooth. The winds do not go from 0-60 kts within a few feet like many pilots think. I watched it on my EFIS and...

I told my wife last night that if I ever become heap of scrap metal, to not blame anyone else but me...the builder, maintainer and PIC. Jeez, people are so rediculous. Hopefully I am solo, but my immediate family or CFI (for 2 yr FR) are the only ones in my plane.

They must find ways to stay under gross weght and carry enough fuel.

And whether one has the experience and credentials to repair their own aircraft.

Hans, Here are some places to start calling...just search Miami, FL. http://www.rentplanes.com

I think Brad is correct...according to their website. I am sure someone on the east coast will rent to you. Just start calling around. "Any current Embry-Riddle student can rent Embry-Riddle airplanes. Single-engine airplane rentals require a Private Pilot Certificate and rental check-out from...

W95 - Ocracoke, NC is a nice stop for lunch (20 min walk) and a walk on the beach (5 minutes away). One of our favorites.

My liability has been increasing 13%/yr just for HVAC, with no accidents or claims ever. Now I know why that IO-540 went from $41k to $65k.

I know nothing about law, but the term used by Van's was dismissed... "The crew here at Van’s would like to let everyone know that this suit was dismissed. Van’s own investigation of the accident concurred with the NTSB probable cause report. The complaint against Van’s had no merit."

We surely do not need to go down that path. Builder's know the FAA's definition from Day 1..."the major portion of which has been fabricated and assembled by person(s) who undertook the construction project solely for their own EDUCATION or recreation." There is an entire forum just for the...

Why stop at NY when there is some very nice scenery in Maine? Then turn around and let your right side passengers enjoy the view back to Florida. Stop at Kitty Hawk.

Liability at a minimum. $625 vs $2400.

They are not having any problems getting them in here by automobile.

You did fine. Watch for those high-wingers, not on the radio, that pull out onto the runway while you and your family are on a very short final. That will get your heart rate up some too.

16 years self-employment and loving it. Don't come in being the low-baller. You'll have a difficult time raising your prices later and many potentially good customers will question your low prices. There are reasons those other guys are charging 3X as much. You should at least be at 80% of your...

Nice video. Wonder how many knots were lost having all of those external cameras?

N321RC. Does not appear to be a recent RV-9A build. We have a castering nose wheel. With more power than needed and a big rudder, once over 20 mph, directional control should not be an issue, especially with less than 25 kt xw. I guess that is one advantage of holding off on painting. Glad there...
