what was the objection?

IBTL:happydance:

ditto for my aging parents and their current housing situation. Big time myopic view, thinking they would be 50 forever. The house is a death trap for 70+ year old bones, several nasty falls already, playing that russian roulette. But I've said my peace and they'll do what they'll do until...

what's the flat charge for that stuff these days? No longer own, asking just for the benefit of the gallery since covid M2 printer go brrr made every pricing thread pre-2021 obsolete by quite a clip.

Remember, some of these guys made a living being remoras to that status quo (ditto for the Aeromed lackeys). They're going to reflexively simp for it. So that's par for the course. On a personal level, I'm just surprised EAB allowances remain untouched in this regulatory environment. I fear for...

As the brits say: "and if my grandmother had wheels, she'd be a bicycle" (brits use that to mean a promiscuous woman btw) IOW, the sub 200hp 4 seaters have always been plagued with that power loading problem, it's why the market places a premium on the 230-300hp 4 seat offerings, while the...

FTFY.

If we had to paper-tether our mil solos to a single individual physically providing all items of pre solo training, we might as well surrender the NAS to the PLAAF right now, cuz fighters wouldnt fly. It's funny to me how every facet of american life seems to follow the K curve these days...

ah yes, ye old everybody is a free rational actor and manifested preferences are innocuous and free from duress. No maslow hierarchy of needs in [myth of] meritocracy land...:rolleyes: There's a reason where I'm from, being a USAF pilot is regarded as a moonshot...and it isn't a cultural or...

A 5k installed solution would be transformative in the lower end of this space. I was able to do everything I wanted to do in my 2000smoh warrior with a mere KLN-89B, and that thing had as spartan a moving map as you could get mind you. Get rid of the touchscreen functionality and lower the...

What I take exception to is the implied supporting argument to that approach, which boils down to: "well, the positional wonderboxes, in 2024, statistically, just never. go. dark. If they do ATC will vector us back to a runway". Solid plan that one, count me out of it. We get a lot of...

It's certainly an interesting look into price elasticity of demand. Look at Van's bankruptcy price re-takers for instance, they make MLM conferences seem hinged by comparison. We'll see what Hartzell's repricing yields. The lawnmower sector certainly seems intent in "shrinking to profitability"...

Understood. I will say, given my experience owning both cessnas and pipers for 13 years, honestly go high wing if this is going to be an airplane you folks are intending to go into senior age into, and considering the progressive nature to MS. Cardinals have excellent door ingress ergonomics...

The illusion of choice indeed.

As a two-time owner of PA-28 types, I can't relate to how someone can get into any of them after owning an RV-(n)/(a). I also don't see how, given what people are asking for RV-8s these days, you wouldn't have coin to buy one of said snooze cans. 172s perhaps I can see, but they are poor ROI...
