Ok folks, I'm going to the braintrust to help me think this through. My truck, 2019 Chevy Colorado, diesel, long bed, 4x4 Z71, got in an accident a couple weeks ago. Unfortunately, the frame got bent a bit, and the insurance company is talking about totalling it, though it is a really marginal...

Our 182 (Continental/Pponk O-470-50) seems to like to erode/blow out muffler internals at a fairly rapid rate. To date we've been using Knisley mufflers, and have Knisley stacks, which seem to be holding up fine, but the muffler internals start falling apart after about 250-300 hours. Anyone...

This is Bennie. We adopted her 10 weeks ago (at 14 months, she needed a new home). I waited way too long to get my first dog.

Four souls. No info on type yet, though they said 80-gallons of fuel, so they may know the type. https://www.pe.com/2020/01/22/plane-crashes-at-corona-municipal-airport/

Ok, so I understand how to get my SPOT Gen 3 to report to Leidos with my flight plan. Do any of you know/understand what is meant when they say that if the SPOT doesn't report movement, it will trigger a Leidos alert? Is this something that is only active when the flight plan is open? I know I...

More details to follow, but we have a 1/3 share available in our great 1977 Cessna 182Q. Serious inquiries only. The selling co-owner is still working on the price, but no reason to think it will be "unrealistic". He hasn't flown in over a year and doesn't see himself getting active again. He...

Hot off the press from CMC Electronics. For the next cycle, Jeppesen will have a new databases available for the M3 Approach unit that will provide coverage for the northern tier US states. There will now be 2 databases available for US coverage DSNT22 and DSNT62 as a work-around for the memory...

For any of you looking, or who know anyone looking, for aerobatic/emergency manuever/tailwheel training in the Seattle area, my sister is now teaching in a Super Decathalon there. The plane is available for dual-flights only, due to insurance requirements. I should have more info to post here...

I just had the prop balanced in our 182 - what a huge difference! - and I haven't even been able to fly it yet. Attached is the before, during, and final test runs. After a "before" run, external test weights were screwed onto to a couple spinner screws, then another test run, remove spinner...

Ok, I'm now pretty thoroughly confused as to how this transition to Lockheed-Martin (L-M) is working. When I call the WX-BRIEF # from my cell phone, I now get routed to the Prescott, AZ L-M AFSS. My cell used to route me to Hawthorne AFSS. I can, however, still directly call, and get briefings...

We did it!!! After a long afternoon of inspecting, checking, reinspecting, fixing, and more inspecting, we finally got our plane off the ground for the first time since Feb. 4. 5CY decided to save a surprise for the end of the process... last Friday when the rudder was pulled for balancing we...

Just felt the moderate earthquake in LA, 5.3 at the far east end of the Basin. That's the second I've felt in less than a week (one out near Palm Springs on Sunday). That was enough entertainment for awhile, it can stop now...

This we didn't need: http://www.tuscaloosanews.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20050616/APN/506160931 But, evidently, MS-Flight Sim must be a better training aid than most of us thought. Edit - and no, I don't know what a "Cessna Two" is either. :dunno:
