Don’t have any personal experience, but I’ve heard good things about a shop based out of Santa Maria.

I ditched my HP after 10 years and last week bought an Epson ecotank series printer. So far so good. Much larger ink reservoir. That said, you can buy much cheaper 3rd party ink for most printers on Amazon.

I would reconsider joining Baja Bush Pilots. It's a great resource for all things related to flying south of the border.

I grabbed this pic from the 275 FB user group. I'd like to do something similar if I end up installing them...

I’d have to say my flights over Mt St Helens were the most memorable for me this year. Weather was perfect and the visuals amazing.

I flew into Bishop with my ebike and rode into town and went to Schats. It’s about a 10 minute ride.

Wise choice. Enjoy the beautiful drive, stop at Schatt’s and don’t second guess your decision :)

Snowboarder here….I used to go to Beaver Creek every year for about 15 years. I stopped going a few years ago when the lift ticket prices went north of 200/day. It was simply not worth it anymore. I think their walk up price this year is $279! What a joke. (Yes there are cheaper ways than walk...

my general rule of thumb for flying up the Owens Valley is not to attempt if the winds at 14k are 30kts or above and blowing from the west (over the ridges). Whitney is 14.5K, so unless you are several thousand feet above, your gonna be feeling any mountain waves coming over those ridges. That...

Very sad outcome from a scenario with seemingly good odds. My wild guess is perhaps the 2 people not far away on the beach influenced the touch down point. Also, I’d imagine a 1960 150 probably didn’t have shoulder harnesses.

This is a common issue when departing my airport in Los Angeles (KWHP) as we are always conflicting with IFR traffic at nearby Burbank and Van Nuys. As much as I want to fly “in the system”, getting an IFR clearance can take from anywhere 5 minutes to 50 minutes. If it’s VFR, I often just get FF...

Grumman Tiger sounds like a good fit. Not as fast as a Mooney but 130-135 TAS on 9gph. I am slightly biased as I have one BUT I think it’s worth a look for you.

This video answered my own question, in case anybody is interested. A cool and dry storage area seems to be most ideal. Sounds like my hangar should be a good place for the next several months.

I just purchased a new battery for my Tiger (Concorde 24v) as I can tell my current one (4.5yrs) is getting more and more sluggish with starting up. While I'm not quite ready to swap in the new one, I purchased it b/c I didn't want supply issues to bite me a couple months down the line if I was...

it's honestly the best outcome given the propositions that we could have realistically expected. Reading the FONSI document, alot of attention was spent on the airstrip debate and the public comments certainly seemed to have played at least a minor role. How long they kick the can down the road...

Great stuff. Clean belly.

It goes in/out fairly easily (as long as you have folding pedals). but I usually take a little time to wrap the bike in a furniture blanket in the baggage compartment to prevent scratches on either the bike or inside the plane.

My Gocycle folding ebike fits (barely) thru the baggage door of my Tiger. Takes about 3 minutes to unfold it...not super fast but easy to do. It weighs 36 lbs. Much more convenient than carrying it up the wing and putting it in the back seat. Sitting in the baggage area...out of site out of...

Where did you get your cylinder from?

Great pics!
