Absolutely! :)

I think the more important questions to ask is did the deceased ever work for Boeing and was that person dissatisfied with the company?

There's only one person that I'm aware of that has the right to judge anyone and he ain't on this forum. :) That said, I say, go get it done, Mike@9D9. I for one wish you all the best in your quest for continued sobriety and your medical!

Me too! And I did mine in a C150 with an O-320, planning on 8GPH. I did NOT get 4 hour endurance out of that plane. :)

And nothing fell off. Are you paying attention, Boeing? :)

The ol Harley adage. :)

The UBG-16 is equipped with three plugs. One 9-pin for power, ground, backlighting and data recording, the two remaining 16-pin plugs are for temperature inputs. As viewed from the front of the instrument, the left plug is for EGTs and the right for CHTs. Try disconnecting the two 16-pin...

Funny, I just bought my dream Ducati and my old racecar back! :)

The current median household income is somewhere around $70K, depending on the source. A decent 172 will probably require at least a 1/4 of that in annual expenditures (hangar/tie down, insurance, maintenance, fuel, etc). GA ownership doesn't really pencil for the "average" guy or gal.

I used Sheppard air for the written, scored 100% and I'm not smart...at all. It works! Worth noting, you'll need something else to supplement for practical application. I used Gleim. With that said, the Sheppard system offers explanations to each question, which involves a deeper dive than...

There are other methods to utilize the engine monitor, as well. You had mentioned a mag check. Very often, users will put the monitor in normalized mode to be able to quickly see if a cylinder is firing or not. Additionally, when leaning, the monitor can be placed in LEAN-ROP mode to where it...

The CGR-30P can be placed in different modes which may help you notice smaller temperature changes a bit better. See below for example.

I was in the middle of my instrument training and not really feeling up to another "under the hood" lesson. As such, I asked my instructor if he felt like doing a spin recovery lesson instead, to which he happily obliged. We were flying a 172. He demonstrated one, allowing it to develop into...

Reading the title, I thought an IT guy crashed an airplane. I've got to refocus my positivity! :)

My trackday/autocross/family race car is pretty much a fully built AIX fox mustang. Very capable and very fast. With that said, I did buy an old FB RX-7 that was used in conference racing that I used to dip my toe into endurance racing. SOOOOO much fun! I really learned what it meant to drive...

To my knowledge, this is correct. As such, one should factor in the additional labor cost of having the harnesses built for the GI275. Our systems includes all of the necessary sensors and pre-made wire harnesses.

In the racecar world, the answer is ALWAYS Miata. What about a family car? Two Miatas.

I went from autocross/track days/ hill climbs to selling the racecar, getting my PPL, instrument rating, CPL and buying into a Cessna partnership. 8 years later, I haven't flown much in 3 years, sold my share in the airplane and bought my old racecar back. At least my daughter is now old...

And if you live where I do, the intentional line drawn around a once fairly conservative town destroyed by inexperienced and virtue signaling city politicians is almost humorous. Almost. Oregon is like a supermodel on very heavy doses of DID medication. Pretty to look at, but you DEFINITELY...

Just when you thought a "new" truck couldn't get any uglier. Yes, this truck exists and someone actually thought this bumper was a good idea. It's on a lot here in town and been there for a while. Can't imagine why. :)
