CFI Hubby wants to talk to ultralight pilots. Wants to know what your issues or questions are. We live in the Tulsa area. Not an advertisement for students.

Had retina surgery on one eye. Don't know if it will see again or if so, how much. Probably pretty bad. Been Basic-Med for several years. Was a CPAP user, but couldn't use CPAP mask and sleep on my face at the same time. So, gotta get a good six-months again, now. Anyway, what are the...

https://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/12215-N-73rd-East-Ave_Collinsville_OK_74021_M73692-79847 This home is right on the runway of a very well-maintained private grass field. Great neighbors. Great community. Short commute to Tulsa.

With all this "shelter in place" that is going around, does anybody know if the FAA is considering extending rules on currency?

The Oklahoma legislature has removed setback distance requirements from private airports that once required a 1-1/2 mile setback from a runway for windmills. The FAA and the Oklahoma Aeronautics Commission are also permitting unlit windmill construction. As a result, there are unlit windmill...

On the 4th of July, not all the fireworks were lit. They have sat in my kitchen ever since. Is it safe to set them off? How long is too long? The kids seem to have forgotten all about them. If I decide to get rid of them, how can I dispose of them. I didn't buy them. I don't know what...

I was hospitalized a few months ago and was on an IV drip of fluids. As well, I had a CT scan with contrast administered by IV. Now, nurses have had problems with getting a good vein for about 25 years (I'm 75 now) and more and more frequently they cannot get a good flow from my elbow and...

Friends, Last year I had cataract surgery. My vision had slowly degenerated over a couple of years and I finally decided to have the surgery. It was as close to a non-event as I thought possible. The whole procedure for each eye took just a few minutes, but the appointment was for a few hours...

I've had a site on GoDaddy for years and use it to dabble and put things up for the grandkids. Now, I want to host a separate domain for the local flying club. I've tested it out on my local machine and uploaded all the files, but once on GoDaddy, none of the club files can be accessed. I've...

14 CFR Part 43 Appendix A - C - 30. I don't remember ever noticing the requirement for a certificate of competency before. I assume it is relatively new. How does an owner obtain a certificate of competency for a Cessna 172 c?

I've been contacted about an infant flying club. I'm not sure they are being realistic on their costs. If they can buy an airplane for 26,500, they figure they can get by with a $4000 initial buy-in from 7 members and $1000/year from each member for fixed costs and maintenance. Can you...

I've been away for a long time, and want to mark threads 'read' even without opening every page. I don't want to mark the entire forum 'read'.

We just had the opportunity to see the Solar Impulse airplane. It landed a few days ago in Tulsa to avoid the weather we are having today. They plan to leave on Thursday for New York and to complete their around-the-world flight with no fuel. Things I learned: They have 2 pilots and a third...

Finally, the rain stopped for a few days and the ground hardened enough to pull a plane across the grass on Saturday. Little planes started hopping into the air and buzzing across the back yard. We carried logbooks and headsets over to the neighbor's hangar where our C-172 is waiting for us to...

Just a few miles south east of us. Is everyone else ok?

A home is available in our airpark. OK93 is just north of Tulsa International (KTUL). BTW, the bean dinner is always the 3rd Saturday in September. https://www.airnav.com/airport/OK93 I believe this home comes with membership in the corporation that owns the runway. My understanding is that...

Over the past 8 weeks, I have lost my appetite. Eating or drinking anything (including water) makes me nauseous. For a while, I was eating 1/8 my normal meal size and feeling very full. I've managed to increase that to 1/4 and sometimes 1/2, but that can lead to upchucking. I've tried to be...

The house we bought has geo-thermal heat and air. It needs to be replaced. HVAC guy has been out every week this winter thumping, adding fluid, bleeding fluid, swapping switches, thumping, fiddling, and getting it to work about one week at a time -- then repeat. It has needed assistance...

1. Don't participate in Spin Zone.

Probably a question for Henning. I'm listening on the radio to a woman who went to Europe on a freighter instead of a liner. Just wondering whether that can be done today? How could someone arrange such a trip?
