Man. The fact that there isn't 1 emergent consensus answer here makes me really want to double check y'alls W&B and XC fuel burn calculations :D

You have Gorilla on basic?! God I miss that game! I used to play that and XCom on our first Packard Bell computer.

Bessie's Diner at KJVL in Wisconsin

Feels good to take the arrow out and hit my favorite $100 breakfast run. Had the ramp to myself:)

Welcome, neighbor! I use Travel Express Aviation (TEA) at KDPA, a <5 minute hop from 06C. They're at the north ramp of the airport. There's also JA Air at KARR in Aurora/Sugar Grove IL. It is expensive, but it was hard to argue with how thorough and knowledgeable they are. Their schedule was...

A question just to eliminate any ambiguity "engine barely cranking" is synonymous with "prop is struggling to turn, or not turning, when the starter should be engaged", yes? Or am I misinterpreting how you judge a "cranking" engine? If you bypassed the aircraft electrical system an ran leads...

I concur.... This sounds like a Florida Man airplane story to me!

The new rule seeks to *modify* when the ECI is due. The current rules set it at 5000 factored service hours IIRC. What's the TTAF for the plane, how many 100hour inspections? If the new rule proposal passes it will change the time until your ECI is due using the CSH calc.

Is it the main spar attachment bolts or the forward wing attachment mount? I would think the plane would be permanently grounded if the main wing spar bolts were wrong. But when's the last time this plane flew?

I'm in :)

Haha, fair. I guess my first reaction in an emergency as a passenger would not be "let's record this!" That seems like something you do when you don't think there is an actual emergency.

Hopefully no real injuries, but good lord is that the worst ADM I have seen all year. Bruh has a plane that's still running, plus he has like a football field width sized patch of grass on both the left AND right of the runway AND a taxiway, and he chooses to land 100 feet behind a Cessna and...

But these are some of the most amusing people to watch whenever a perceived threat exists in the media. I'm reminded of a video that went semi-viral back when fringe parts of the population were going nuts over 5G cell towers, thinking they were actually being built for some nefarious motive of...

Had some Saturday morning fun perusing the fringe X/Reddit threads, some of whom are suggesting it's not just unknown crafts... but aliens! I enjoyed that perspective... Cuz just imagine making a cosmic voyage of light years and the first taste of earth you get is... f***ing new jersey. Pretty...

You really, REALLY don't want to know the answer to the question. Sometimes ignorance is bliss :D

I'm not panicking. I still remember the last time the public spotted something fantastic and I got all worked up over nothing... Fool me once!

Way overdue for a flight and thought about going this morning for a breakfast run... That is, until I saw the thermostat showing 3* F outside. I love flying but not THAT much.

In your correspondence with Lycoming you should include that as a benchmark :D Not asking for much, just a modest 500% increase in TBO without much intermediate maintenance, and the ability to idle for 10 consecutive months. Clearly the technology exists!
