    Owner Assisted Annuals are Now Outlawed unless Supervised 100%.

    Laugh! Oh my god. What a yuck. Evapotranspiration is the combination of evaporation (water moving from the ground to the air) and transpiration (water moving from the plant to the air). Neither process has anything to do with "watering" the corn. Bees have nothing to do with fertilizing...

    Any Rans Builders or flyers here?

    The company forum or chat site seems moribund. The Rans Clan (kind of like Vans Air Force) https://www.ransclan.com seems to be struggling. I used to follow it daily but haven't been on for a while. Three of us local Rans owners tend to talk among ourselves. We get good support from the...

    Any Rans Builders or flyers here?

    I made quite a few mods as I built my 2015 year S-7S so my construction is not typical, I suppose. As I recall, the kits were complete as you stated. Two fellows with lots of experience built S-20's at the same time I built my S-7. One was an experienced aviation engineer and built his own...

    I need help. I want to get to 250 hours as efficiently as possible.

    You'll answer several of your questions yourself if you do a good study of the various definitions of Pilot In Command.

    Taxi out of the hanger - ride the breaks while pulling on the yolk until it jumps the chalks

    I'm adversely affected by the thread. Oops, of course I meant adversely impacted. No one says affected anymore. (No one says effected, either.)

    A draft bill in the Iowa Senate proposes to raise airplane registration fees by around 50%. The first year fee used to 1% of the manufacturers list price; under the proposal it goes to 1.5%. Top fee goes from $5000 to $7000. A new $500,000 aircraft fee used to be $5000, now it would be $7000...

    What iPad?

    I just bought a mini 6 for the first time. I'm not an iPad user, though there are a couple around the house that the wife mostly uses. My mini 6 seems to me to be short on battery life, but I'm neither an expert nor experienced in it.

    Off Airport - Farm Style

    I'm 80 and I've never changed tractor tire settings for row crops (especially corn). They used to be 40" (so horses could walk between them), then 38" or 36", then 30" but once set they stayed because your planter was set. Now there are a very few corn planters that are narrower. You don't...
