Just went through the same thing 2 weeks ago, I just bought a 70" version of one of these https://www.samsung.com/us/televisions-home-theater/tvs/qled-4k-tvs/85-class-qled-4k-qe1c-qn85qe1cafxza/ and hooked it up to a Roku. Overall pretty impressed for the price, image quality is very good, (had...

I use one of these https://www.wyze.com/products/wyze-garage-door-controller Basically its a camera and little box that attaches to almost any garage door opener. Have one on my Hangar rollup door and home door. Works well, does not need a subscription (free plan works fine on it) and even has...

Plus one for Blue Ridge sport flight, I did his combined PP/Instrument course back in 2018, real nice guy and knows his stuff. Didn't even land on pavement until 20 hours in lol.

Unfortunately there is no official free source as none of the involved governments publish their charts online like the FAA. The best I found for Europe is https://www.openflightmaps.org/ but again these are not official and rely on crowd sourcing. Asia there is no single source as each...

I run a small IT consultancy www.silverstratusglobal.com and we pretty much use Dell exclusively for our clients. For your needs any of the upper end Vostro line or Latitude will serve you well. We do have some Lenovo's out there and they are fine but Dell support beats Lenovo hands down...

Last move, 2 years ago TX to WI we used this mob https://www.upack.com/ its actually ABF freight. Basically they are a commercial freight line, for the price they drop a 20 ft semi trailer at your place. You pack it lock it and call them. They come get it and drive it to you destination and drop...

+1 on depends as well, I've lived at/been involved with 3 airparks 0TX1, 1N1, and currently at WI69. Really depends on the bylaws on keeping the plane outside, but as a general rule this is discouraged. As for hangar construction the two main factors are site work as has been said, and building...

@Arrow Flyer I've had pretty descent luck with Plane Safe at KUES (Waukesha, WI) and Wisconsin Aviation KRYV (Watertown, WI). Flat rate annual at WISAV on my Grumman AA1 was $1,500 and my T210 $3200 @ a shop rate of $99. Communication was good, updates timely, and work was through and of good...

I would do KPWK or KDPA both have good services, PWK is easy to get to ORD by rental car and DPA is a bit further out but slightly cheaper in fees.

I used to own a 64 235B and yes they are really crowded in the back. For long flights with my Wife I would remove the front seat and she would sit in the back. That gave sufficient leg room. Otherwise I have had 2 adults in the back but I had to have the front seats pretty far forward and I...

Flew in from Canada a few times, as long as you are arriving at a staffed Port of Entry within their regular business hours there is no fee. Just make sure to have the CBP Decal or receipt that you purchased the decal. Otherwise pretty much a non event most cases.

GUAM (PGUM) would fit the bill. 3 Islands an a whole lot of ocean. (And yes they do have a flight school)

I've had good luck and reasonable pricing from Wisconsin Aviation at Watertown, WI (RYV) had my Cherokee 235 serviced there when I had and they look after my Grumman currently.

You can get Canadian online sectionals at fltplan.com just pop in a flight plan and select Sectionals-Canada. Note its also available on their EFB fltpango (Free). I used it when I go up to Canada so I don't have to pay for the additional chart subscription.
