Has anyone purchased any one of the Peter Schiff portable AC units? I have a 182Q and Texas summers are brutal and the wife is very negative about sweating till altitude. I've tried the Arctic Air evaporative coolers and they just aren't suited for my mission. Lugging ice around and then...

I use my 182 70% for business travel so that's a huge advantage via tax savings that most don't have. I have a 4 state sales agency and live in central Texas - KPWG. It takes me approximately 65% less time to fly than drive to my typical distant destinations (New Orleans, Tulsa, NW Arkansas...

I'm also considered just placing a window AC unit on a cart and fabricating ducting to replicate what you're showing in this Attic Master photo. This would at least keep the interior cool for some reprieve.

I had an Arctic Air and completely agree. Actually just sold it after giving it 2 summers to change my mind. It really wasn't worth the trouble especially on the return leg when the planes been sitting on the concrete baking. It worked fine departing from my home airport since it's in a hangar.

The hat rack is a rear partition behind the cargo area. It's the divider that separates the cabin from the rear of the plane. It'd be like putting this on your back seat in your car and exhausting to the trunk.

That's great feedback especially the car AC BTU's. I sure want to try one of these, but not for a $1500 test. My thought was to just leave it in the plane in the summer running all the time off 120VAC to keep it pre-cooled. Or, turn it on when I get to the airport. I live in TX and after my...

Anyone given this a test drive? Reviews on "their" website look decent. The few reviews on Amazon are mixed. It's battery powered or can run on 24VDC, has 2300 btu's output, and weighs around 27 pounds with 1 battery. Based on reviews a single battery can run around 4 hours on low - their...

Have a buddy that flies a seaplane in the Austin TX area and the same thing happens to him and police reports. I don't blame people as it's seems like a crash for non-aviation folks. Buddy now calls the Sheriff and gives them his landing areas so they can be aware. I'm envious regarding your...

I keep a sharp eye out for golf courses in bravo airspace. They seem like a natural go-to versus congested roads if an airport can't be made. I fly into the Dallas airspace single engine regularly and engine out options are sketchy.

The rugged terrain backpack with trauma kit is around 30 pounds. I use the swiss army bladder for ballast in my 182 and drain it as needed. I'm in central Texas, but do fly to west TX and doing some NM & AZ trips.

I went down a rabbit hole. I'm somewhat embarrassed to share this list as it's somewhat long, but am going to trust the POA team to not flame me or the list. The things kept in the plane 365 days a year including a trauma medical kit (chest seal, QuikClot, tourniquet, etc.), 5 gallon water...

I was just filling out the Insight G2 order form and read your comment "non-functional". Please let me know your experience. I like the JPI presentation, but not the 730 form factor. Just doesn't fit cleanly. thanks.

Those boys eat, but not a pot belly between them. I bet they'd be willing to give it a shot.

Thank you. I'll check it out.

That is very good to know. Thanks.

Aggie Mike - will do. You can call me Aggie Rob '91. We'd have lots to commiserate over.

I do business with SpaceX and I'm trying to wrangle an up close ticket. Great idea to do with the boys.

I've had my eye on this to go with the wife. She's all in.

I like the NM destinations. Will give them a look. Thanks.

That's the plan - have 4-5 places to go then go where the weather allows. Thanks for the feedback.
