Just found out that park township put it on their agenda to vote on the fate of the airport tonight September 30 at 6:30 at Harderwyk Church, 1627 W. Lakewood Boulevard, Holland, Michigan 49464. I was under the impression it was just a vote to either move forward with an "Airpark plan" but they...

Living in Midwest Michigan is driving me a little crazy. :mad2::yikes::mad2: Don't get me wrong I still fly every week but planning cross country trips for business/family with this odd weather this year leaves me flying commercial more than my own airplane and having a case of the...

When I monitor a Freq on COM1 and transmit on COM2 (KX155) I get loud feed back transmitting and it sounds like I am screaming in my own ear. This does not always happen (I regularly transmit on ground on COM2), and I only noticed it on the last flight. This was a night flight below...

Dumb question here but after changing my spark plugs from Massives to Fine wires I noticed she can run LOP with less fuel and smoother so now my EGTs are the same (1300-1350F) but my CHTs are 250-260F and dont even show up on the JPI anymore. This is on a Continental IO-550B with Deshannon...

Un-Identified flying object in michigan Found this flying over lake Michigan today.....beautiful plane..and the pilot looks like a nice guy too..:)

So I have noticed something that seems to be affected by cold starts in colder weather. When I start My IO550 (gami injectors) and the engine is cold (around 50-55 degree F ) one of the cylinders sounds like it is popping out the exaust and stumbling at idle or above. I suspect it is #2...

How are (or not) people insuring the contents of their hangar? I just got an email back from AOPA that said their hangar policy wont work if it is a T hangar or connected to a larger building? I know its not a lot of stuff, but started adding up all the incidental items in there and on the...

Finally after months of tire kicking I have finally closed on my (new to me) 1971 Beechcraft V35B bonanza and I am no longer a renter. Took possession Monday, and am in the process of flying it from California to my home town in Michigan. Still feel like it's some one else's plane and my wife...

Just received a quote for Escrow and title services and was puzzled regarding the price. Around $650 if the aircraft is VFR Around $1500 if the aircraft is IR capable:dunno::dunno::dunno::dunno: Same amount of money but a huge difference in cost, could anyone here enlighten me (yes, I did...

I spent the $250 and purchased a subscription to VREF while in hunt for the new airplane (new to me that is) and I am noticing something odd. Everything being sold by brokers is 30% to 50% higher than book value for retail (not even going to mention wholesale). :mad2::mad2: Now I understand...

Didn't see if this was posted already, but I saw it on my local news feed this morning. Not much info yet just that he crashed after turning back to airport. http://woodtv.com/2015/08/27/1-dead-after-plane-crash-at-w-k-kellogg-airport/ RIP :confused:

Just landed on this island after leaving MCD (Mackinac Island) this past weekend to scope it out for future overnight camping options. Runway was in good condition, little FBO (unattended) was new and clean, the well pump worked for water. I will call the airport manager for details...

Any one know what happened at osh this morning? I noticed the emergency vehicles on the east end where runways intersect and no planes are arriving or departing. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

Sorry to post another plane comparison thread but I have been looking at planes for about a year now and narrowed it down (at least for today) to these two. And since it is a twin vs single comparison I thought it would be a good discussion) They are: PA-30 (b or C) (would like CR but its above...

Looks like I need to drop someone off at KONZ this Saturday and I have never been there. Does any one have experience flying into this airport they would like to share? I will be flying in from the West side of Michigan and its a coin toss at this point if it will be VFR or IFR but it looks...

Can any 177 owners out there confirm if you can fit downhill ski's under the rear seat of a 177 cardinal. I am thinking of taking a short trip with 3 people and 3 sets of ski gear so I need to keep the rear seat mounted and the plane. Unfortunately the plane is 1/2 hr away from me so I cannot...

Saturday I did a little flying in a RedBird simulator and the wife unit wanted to come along for moral support (it was her valentines gift to me I guess:dunno:). Then the payback was following it up with shopping and dinner out:confused: (this was her gift for me to give her I guess) It was...

Thought I would post an error in my thinking while using ForeFlight to help others out (dont do as I do, or think like me):nono:. Of course I may be the only numbnut that did this, so consider it entertainment at my own expense if thats the case. While flying on an IFR course above the clouds...

I have noticed on when flying GPS approach with this configuration in a Grumman Tiger the Autopilot doesn't seem to lock onto the track until after I blow thru it the first time. I have talked to one other pilot who described something similar with a 530 and Century AP and I was wondering if...
