All, I'm co-hosting the NorCal Beginner and Advanced formation clinics for the Bonanzas to Oshkosh group in Sacramento this year. While the purpose of the clinic is to prepare the attendees for a safe formation arrival into OSH, many of the other pilots drive something besides a Bonanza. If...

Fellow Fliers, I put a Vertex SSD drive in my Dell Laptop and installed Windows 7 on it. It however, now appears to be stuck booting (resuming Windows) from an image somewhere on the drive. Basically every couple of reboots, it seems to pull this old hibernate image from somewhere. The...

I've got a house rented in between the N40 and Pioneer airport. The current party in that room may be backing out, so PM me if anyone's interested. We've got the house Sat-Sat. The room has a queen bed and its a nice place with a great location.

I have a complete 6-cyl, new in box, CRM2100 engine monitor. It has all probes, sensors, etc and replaces all engine instrumentation besides fuel quantity. I would have installed it in my Bonanza, but needed a new prop instead. http://xerionavionix.com/auracle2100.html The complete kit...

And a blazing 3.8meg symmetrical connection. Not bad for living in the middle of the hills. Of course it does require this giant 802.11 grid antenna.

Ready for another great Airventure trip! Leaving the home field at 6:30 AM; picking up Dad at 7:30. See you all there!

Last time I went to OSH, I had to really dig to find the charts for a few regions of my trip. Many were sold out for the entire month at the local shop. Anyone purchase theirs online and have good luck?

It's been almost a month, but finally able to get around to posting a picture or two. Here is what happens when a 180 doesn't see your car as it taxis by... Prop missed the o2 bottle in the trunk by a few inches.

Since we did the Cessna training, I figured I should plug the local B2OSH training as well. Stockton, CA Apr -- 19th & 20th Visit http://b2osh.org/regional.htm for more info.

I've been totally happy with Verizon, but a little bummed they do not have the Blackberry(s) that I'm looking at. I'm definitely not going back to cingular, but might consider Tmobile. Any word on how they in regards to customer service or coverage?

While listening to Lemoore approach today flying home, a few navy pilots were doing practice approaches. The controller would vector them in then clear them for a "Blue Sky Recovery." Anyone know what this is?

Hey Folks, Since I've seen a number of employment related here, I figured I'd post myself. We're looking for a Windows/Linux systems engineer type. Ideally you're strong in both environments, however the desire to learn is worth a lot. Oh, and you can work from home. :)

3 weeks of downtime ~$4k and one pretty nifty box. The processor inside is WAY faster. On the Nav position page, the coordinates zip by. Scrolling the moving map is significantly improved. The terrain page is pretty cool as well. The neatest part though, dial up the RNAV 16 approach into...

I've got an extra datacard for my 430/530 for sale. Make me an offer. It should have the Western US Database on it. (Will confirm which revision)

After flying in a plane with a g-meter today, it got me thinking as we hit a few bumps. When an aircraft is 'certified' to a negative number of Gs, (lets say -3 for this argument), is that -3 absolute Gs or relative. Since 1g is normal, would the meter read -2 or -3 if you reached its limit?

Well it has been one crazy weekend, but as of this last Saturday I passed my FFI Wing checkride. The weekend started with a long briefing Wednesday night, and 3 flights a day through Saturday. The checkride is designed to see just about every aspect of the FFI curriculum. Engine start time...

Finally got to experience a bit of ice this weekend. I was flying back on a short IFR flight from Marina KOAR to KRHV. About 5000', the OAT was just touching 0 degrees C. I was asked to climb to 6000' and the wings just started to look a bit different. The leading edges started to get darker in...

With all these POA newbies... this board should have a quick introduction post requirement... A virtual get-to-know-the-neighbors...
