This seems like a no brainer to me. You are flying not only to keep the plane in top shape but also to keep your skills as a tow pilot in shape. This in my view is incidental to being a tow pilot. It is a safety issue. It is all part of flying a tow plane. Did they just let you start towing...

Finally I can buy that P51. I have been holding off because of Basic Med. It had nothing to do with the money. No really it had nothing to do with the money.

Why is everyone is such a hurry. Buy a Champ and by the time you fly across the country and back you will have plenty of hours. :)

The more interesting question might be how did the ATP rated pilot log his portion of the flight? Did he log it all as PIC? Is he a CFI?

If I were king. I would eliminate all FAA medicals. The system doesn't work anyway. Before someone chimes in with I don't want to share the sky with people who are unfit...Let's face it if you have enough money and time you can almost get an SI for just about any condition. If you are...

They do. I think it is the same. I always made my own.

I have a 1976 Apache Camper. It is a hard sided pop-up. A large portion of the camper is ABS plastic. The standard repair method is to melt ABS with MEK/MEK Substitute/Acetone to make a slurry. You can then repair the part with the slurry.

For a self proclaimed safety expert he has been in a lot of accidents. I am inclined to do the opposite of what he says. ETA: I do hope everyone recovers quickly

I use Avare. It is free and android only. As a computer professional my stance is the same on these applications as it is on the IOS Android discussion. If you understand the concepts learning a specific OS or application is not that difficult. I work in multiple operating systems everyday...

Someone once told me redline is the redline if you are below it and not over it you should be OK. Key word should. :)

I just drove out to Colorado to pick up an engine (FWF), Seats, Cowling. Fortunately my daughter lives in CO Springs so we visited her for a few days then picked up the engine and drove home. Cost about $700 in gas. Not sure how that would have compared to shipping but was planning to visit...

My response the few times I have been asked this is, "No, but I bet you are about to tell me." Followed by their question, "Where are you coming from and where are you headed." Me, "(pointing behind me) from there, (pointing ahead of me) that way". It's none of their business where I have...

I wouldn't fly to you. Added risk for not much reward in a sellers market.

I am mixed on electric and gas for small yard tools. For the lawn there really isn't an electric option that will work tell that to the states that want to ban all gas equipment. We have 2 acres and it is pretty hilly so zero turn is not an option. It takes about 3 hours on the riding lawn...

Troll thread? I had 20+ years off took about 7 hours to get back to flying solo. The first thee hours I was wondering why it wasn't clicking. Then all of sudden it did and I was back. That was over 10 years ago haven't looked back. 7X50= $350 I think that is probably worth the price even...

My instructor used to say, "It is too rough to fly dual but you can fly solo if you want." :biggrin: I don't like flying when it is super gusty or bumpy, I do from time to time, but it just isn't enjoyable and I fly for fun. I don't ever take passengers except my wife (she doesn't seem to...

My only complaint is the pocket clip is bigger than it needs to be. I may just take mine off I don't use it anyway.

This is my EDC. Buck Ranger Slim Select. Weighs 2.5oz. Plenty sharp. Made in USA. Buck lifetime warranty. Cost under $40 (I paid $29 for mine) so if you lose it, it isn't the end of the world.

I will let you in on a little secret. Not only do I almost always carry a knife. I look down on you if you don't.

Did you drive a car to the cardiologist? Did he say whether you could drive or not? Just asking. :stirpot: My plan is the same as yours. Fly basic med until I can't. Then fly LSA until I can't or possibly shouldn't any more. Mosaic will make the LSA part more comfortable. Also want to say...
