    Osh 2024 NOTAM is out

    I suspect this is to solve the problem of sending people who did nothing wrong all the way back to Endeavor when they have to turn them out at Fisk.

    Taking a deeper dive into maneuvering speed

    The wing doesn't care what caused the AOA to increase (gust or elevator deflection). Either way it can't produce more lift, and therefore, cannot overload the spar. And yes, when you get to swept wings and jets things can change, but we are talking about light aircraft.

    [NA] Printing wall poster?

    If you want to go higher end, Nations Photo Lab is where I go for really high quality prints for a reasonable price. Your 10yr probably won't care, but if it is for you to also enjoy an amazing print . . .

    Etiquette for establishing 2 way radio-communication at delta

    That is interesting. I had to go look. Dupo is too close (in the current class D), so that is why it isn't used anymore! The Billiken students tend to make nice brief calls like they should. The other flight schools at KCPS . . . not so much though still not too bad. The practice area is still...

    Piece of plastic packaging blown into the tank

    The fumes are what is highly flammable. Also, why @Racerx suggests a couple of days of air drying to get to a non-flammable environment in the tank before scoping it.

    Total Solar Eclipse on Monday, April 8, 2024

    Not much there. There is a small FBO building with bathrooms and cheap self-serve fuel. I haven't heard of any event planning there. I'm planning KPCD because they did a nice job for the last one.

    New to tent camping, need ideas for possible Sun n fun

    You didn't mention the type of airplane (useful load being the important factor). If you need to save on weight, go for the backpacking tent. If you have lots of excess load capability, I'd go for something you can stand up in, maybe from Coleman if you don't expect to be a regular camper, or...

    Intermittent Alternator

    Have you pulled back that boot the check the wires? I had my alternator cable work loose from its connector. Its a big fat wire hung out where there is a lot of vibration.

    Discouraging flight last night

    You can go out and get the full experience all around STL. KCPS has all kinds of odd angles of lights not aligned with the runways that with good winds aloft will make you feel all out of whack for what direction you are actually traveling, you got the nice bluff turbulence at SUS. SET can give...

    Are you at Spirit of St. Louis? Spirit with the winds out of the south is always an adventure.

    Wanted - Route 66 interesting places

    Not completely exciting, but there is a Charles Lindbergh crash site not too far off of Rt 66 in Illinois. The story is more interesting than the site, but it is just a short drive off.

    NOLA

    Downtown St. Louis has gotten a lot worse in recent years. The randomness of the crime has made "just avoid" certain areas a lot less useful. I wouldn't say don't visit, but I'd also very much not recommend walking around late at night unless it is for a well policed event like just after a...
