    Someone Else's Started Project?

    Around 25% of the way to completion. I'll contact the local FSDO and see what they have to say.

    Someone Else's Started Project?

    My question is this... What is the best way to document a build when you buy a E/AB kit project that was started but not completed by someone else? There are some build sheets, but not as much documentation or pictures as I would have taken if I were doing it myself. When it comes time for...

    DOGE and the FAA

    Better than this... let's just turn a 3rd class medical into what Basic Med is now. What I mean by this is keep the same process that Basic Med uses now, but rewrite the 3rd class medical requirements to mirror the process/procedures. This way, 3rd class still exists and is valid for all the...

    Helicopter Kits/Plans/Important Parts?

    As an offshoot of my original question, what about building plans only? What I mean by this is, rather than buying a kit, are there any building plans available out there for a two seat E/AB helicopter? I feel like my fabrication skills are sufficient to build most of the parts that would come...

    Semaglutide for weight loss

    My good friend started tirzepatide about 6 weeks ago. We talk about it often, so I can understand how the stuff is working for him. He's 6'2" and weighed about 270 when he started. He said that other than a full feeling in his stomach, there have been no other noticeable side effects. He...

    Annual Inspection Paperwork

    It was more of a question of whether an actual A&P actually did it, or if the owner just wrote it in themselves. If I can track down the A&P, I'll have my answer. Had there been a copy filed somewhere from the 3rd party A&P (not the owner) I would have more confidence that this actually...

    Annual Inspection Paperwork

    My question was more geared towards verification of an annual. I was looking at an airplane that was out of annual for about 15 years, but has a recent annual from an independent A&P that I can't get in touch with and that isn't affiliated with any FBO or airport based repair shop that I can...

    Annual Inspection Paperwork

    Quick question... Is there any paperwork filed with the FAA (or anywhere else) to record the annual inspection of an aircraft? I'm just curious if the log books of the aircraft are the only place other than maybe a copy kept by the A&P mechanic where this record exists.

    Helicopter Kits/Plans/Important Parts?

    Would you mind elaborating a little on this. You aren't the first one I've heard (read) this from, so I'm just curious what the problems are. It seems like people either love or hate the Rotorway. There doesn't seem to be any middle ground.

    Helicopter Kits/Plans/Important Parts?

    I do like the Hummingbird option. All in, though, you're getting close to $400k by the time you're done. The HX-50 is beautiful, but beyond my means as well.

    Helicopter Kits/Plans/Important Parts?

    So, I'm interested in building a kit helicopter, but many of the options that were previously available, don't seem to be around any more. I like the newer Rotorway, but they are no longer in business. I like the Safari 500 or even the 400, but after talking to someone on the phone at their...

    Robinson 12 year calendar timeout?

    Yes, that .makes total sense. Thank you for making it easier to understand.

    Robinson 12 year calendar timeout?

    I've read a couple contradictory things about the Robinson R22, R44, R66 TBO requirements. I've read several places that the TBO on pretty much everything is 2200 hrs or 12 calendar years. I've also seen the R44 Maintenance Manual which lists out individual components' maximnum service life as...

    Egregious FBO charges

    I'm curious what they would have done if they didn't have an old record of your previous use of a credit card there. Would they have looke dup the tail number and mailed an invoice?

    Class D VFR Clnc Del required if dedicated frequency?

    I fly out of a class C (KGRB) and have never once contacted Clearance/Delivery for a VFR flight.

    Why didn't they fly the plane back to the runway?

    I would be real curious to see the weight/balance numbers for that flight. I certainly don't have any facts, but as long of a takeoff roll and struggle to gain altitude as I saw in that video, you really have to think they were drastically overweight.

    Seattle Avionics

    I got their latest email yesterday and just chuckled. They keep trying to claim that FlyQ+ is an entirely different and new app. What's strange about that claim is that I never downloaded FlyQ+. My Ipad automatically updated their old semi-stable app and now that same old app has a new name...

    Plane down at Osh. just now.

    So true. I went up out of KGRB a couple weeks ago and the ATIS was saying skies clear and 0 mile visibiity despite the haze in the air. My plan was to just fly around for a bit and head back in. When I got up and headed west, it was quite obvious that 10 miles was not even close to reality...
