Good point. I'll try that too.

I'd like to fly our Mooney Rocket to OSH this year. With barely 8" of prop clearance I'm hesitant to take it through the grass for obvious reasons. Even more so after reading through a long thread on mooneyspace from a guy who had a prop strike in his a few years ago and the nightmare that...

HA! Nice catch!

Yeah, they didn't ask. TBH, I thought they would just be like the airspeed indicator and altimeter in the panel...but figured something was up if they had to that. I'll ask them for sure. If they can just take it off and it looks normal, I'd be fine with that too.

Yeah I wondered the same thing. Forgot to ask why they did that. Doesn't bother me though...

Brought my GoPro out to record the first flight in our 305 Rocket with a brand spankin' new pair of Garmin GI-275's. Videos of these things in the wild seem to be pretty tough to come by and I know a lot of folks are interested in these, so I thought I'd make one and share. The reason we went...

find something down south - even using the toll road (which will get pricey) that's just too far. You'll get a similar experience in San Marcos with a towered field, etc... which was a really valuable learning experience during training. I don't know is down there besides Redbird and I don't...

I am based out of KGTU (north of Austin, TX) and flew to Waco, TX to do my PPL checkride. I think for the most part schools have experience with certain DPE's so they know how to coach students, etc... on what to expect. I flew with a newly minted CFI who did several checkrides with the DPE I...

I live in Leander which is slightly south of Liberty Hill. Thanfully, I pretty much work from home and my office is on the north side of town so I don't have to deal with the downtown commuters even when I do drive in...but a daily commute from Liberty Hill to downtown proper would be brutal...

like what? I already have an intercom system however my radio stack is older and doesn't have an AUX or BT capability. So, just trying to figure out how to grab a portable XM type radio and then get everyone to connect to that via BT (using Lightspeed and Bose headsets) while also being...

Does anyone know of a XM type (doesn't matter the provider) that allows multiple BT headphone connections - ideally 4? I can't seem to find anything that fits that bill...

I'm trying that auth code and it's telling me: Authorization Code is not found. Maybe you mis-typed it? Please double-check what you entered and try again. We apologize for the inconvenience.

good point Sam. We actually just had to invoke a clause in our bylaws to force a buy-out of one of our members for exactly that reason.

Setup a LLC with the plane as the asset. Elect officers, partners get shares, stock certificates, file a tax return, create bylaws, etc... I'm happy to share ours with you if you want. I'm in a 4 way partnership that was formed 17 years ago (I've been in it for 4 of those) and it's been...

wow that's interesting. do they typically deny that or what? what type of agreement needs to take place? Isn't this what you need? https://www.jpinstruments.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/2586-AML-Rev-14.pdf The PA-28 235 is listed and approved. Are you saying every install needs a unique...

Cool thanks folks. So, looks like I can get a EDM 700 off ebay in the $550 range with probes. How much does it typically cost to get the probes installed and the monitor mounted? We have an open spot so wouldn't need a bunch of dash work - just would have to feed cables and wire power into...

Looking for the best value/most accurate EGT gauge for 2 cylinders that is compatible with the O-540? We have a PA-28 235 and currently have a single cylinder monitored but we aren't real happy with the gauge and looking to upgrade that system but also add another cylinder for better accuracy...

yeah i'll probably go that route too. I had the sporty's video stuff for PPL but didn't find it that useful. The few things I got hung up on I just dug around on the internet, youtube videos and got that squared away.

I used this as one of the tools preparing for my PPL and found it quite useful. I wonder if anyone has used it for IFR? http://www.dauntless-soft.com/products/groundschool/ifr.asp

I recall reading in on my flying rags that the IFR written is undergoing some changes...not sure when those are hitting the streets but I'm thinking about starting my IFR training at some point early in the year...depends a lot on if I decide to buy into a new parnership but either way would...
