Thread locked so the entire MC can review it.

The company that installed my solar system sent me a sales email and then apologized for it. (Can't put any more solar here, out of roof space). These solar guys are worse than car salesmen. The one that I finally went with was the only one who came up with an actual proposal and told me...

Somewhere kicking around here is a book about the introduction of this new thing called a VOR written in the 50s or so. It was gifted to me because one of the shots was an installation in Navion. Of course, the book was boldly stating that pilots wouldn't be getting lost anymore.

When we commuted every other week from CJR to NC26, Bacca, our Quaker parrot, flew with us. I'd have hated for her to be the one that detected the CO. Birds typically are fine until they keel over and die.

HTWAS disables below 500 feet, no?

(Turn of javascript in your browser for that site and you can read it). Any way TL;DR exert: Guy is out drinking, pulls over to relieve himself, and people passing by harass the dark skinned man in white neighbor hood and call cops. Gets charged with open lewdness, which as you note...

There's probably still one installed at the house I lived in in Virginia for 23 years. I never took it out. Amusingly, we moved out and left the house vacant for a couple of weeks while I got the thing ready to go on the market. What I started to find as I was cleaning up was every tape...

Several possibilities: 1. Figured he knew it all and didn't need to go through the effort of a checkride. 2. He's one of these guys who will pay an instructor to go where he wants possibly throwing in a free dinner without actually learning anything.

So you drove around looking for another all-you-can-eat seafood restaurant... and then you went fishing?

For years we always planned to switch tanks while we were over an airport. Of course, our planning tended to fail and we'd run the tank dry before we got to the field. But she always relights.

Hogg, get away form that thing. The helicopter appears to be owned by the unlicensed pilot.

Getting an appointment for the neuropsych is only half the battle. Once the results are in then you'll need to still wait for your paperwork to get onto an evaluatator's desk. The problem here is you had apparently a bad AME (unless there's more to this than what you are letting on).

Actually, with a presumed ADHD, provided no other psych conditions and more than four year OFF the drug, he should have been able to issue. The sad truth is, now that you are deferred you are going to be in the unconscionable delay queue at OKC before your application even gets looked at.

The worst Hertz experience I ever had was at LAX a few years back. Somewhere between Hertz and Priceline something slipped a cog and they managed to book a ton of $15/day or something rentals. It was two hours in the Hertz building either standing in line or on their video phone to...

"Duck or you're gonna be talking otta your a--."

Flow is one issue, availability in all flight attitudes is another.

Not particularly new news.

Has happened before. THe BD-10/Peregrine killed a couple of CEOs.

Yep, my aircraft says put the selector back on main (the aux tanks are approved only for level flight). We had at least one Navion crash when taking off on the tip tanks. I believe there are some Bonanzas that had similar issues.

Forward CG = Better Stability Aft CG = Better performance. This is for conventional rigged aircraft. What happens as you move the CG aft is that you need less downforce on the tail to maintain your pitch attitude. The guys who are serious about racing make their planes as light as possible...
