well this is interesting... maybe he's right and doesn't need one! I have never really needed a graphing calculator myself..... but I guess this old dinosaur just thought that's where everything went. I guess it did...a few decades ago....but has mostly moved on! Thinking about it now, I...

in my short bit of research last night that one seemed to be the TI unit of choice.... I just couldn't tell if that was true as a "student level" or a no holds top tier professional level thing....

yeah...the batteries in my 11C lasted forever too. My 35S batteries go a long time too but not nearly as long as those older ones (maybe 2-3 years of heavy use, I don't keep track) that 20S... looks funny to my eye...an HP with an equals button. what is that???

I'm talking university level and beyond..not HS

OK, I know there are some calculator nerds here, I remember some discussions in the past.... I'm wondering..... today, what is considered to be the absolute top-tier best scientific calculator these days? most accurate, fast processor, best function and logic, and whatever else is 'best' as if...

I've thought for a long time that someday I'd like to visit Mackinac Island. Depending on where in FL, that's about 1,000 SM straight line.... I really enjoyed my visit a few years back by airline and rental car, to Door County, WI....and I've seen a few things that lead me to believe there are...

In one small way, I wish there was some single standard database, from which I could pull a report for "ALL medical visits since a particular date. This is the thing that gives me the most heartburn about ever going in for another FAA medical. I qualify for basic med and it's been quite some...

I'm 57 and had carried a pocket knife of some form or another since I was a teenager. Like the OP' I'd surrendered a few of them at unexpected metal detectors....and also stashed a few in the bushes or someplace for later retrieval. I do think that the premise that it's "weird" is becoming...

I think this is a great question. Something I've wondered about before too, in a theoretical camfire discussion kind of way..... I find a lot of this discussion to be a little ...well pendantic I'd be very curious for a controller or three to chime in with their comments...and from different...

Honestly, as it is, I'm surprised it's still going at all. The program is a sad shell of what it is supposed to be. I was a Cub Scout all the way through to WEBELOS then we moved..so I never did WEBLOS. Later I joined a BS troop for a year or so. This was back in the 1980's...just I didn't...

so about $500 to $900 for a PPL initial ride sidebar question - what's the going rate for PPL add ons or other rides seaplane add on? add on for something like a gyroplane rotorcraft? Instrument rating? multi add on? or upgrade to commercial? etc...

I guess that's kinda the crux of what I was getting at originally... I kinda look at it as three major purchases...really four 1) the kit or raw materials for the airframe 2) the engine 3) the avionics 4) paint and other "stuff" so the avionics it seems by the input here, is that this is...

Honestly, I don't have a philosophical issue with hiring out the inspection anyway.... with almost everything it's good to get another set of eyes on it once in a while.... so and I understand correctly that an EAB non-building owner can also do modifications in addition to maintenance?.... say...

Yeah, I've never thought hard about buying an already flying EAB...or a partially completed project either. I like the idea of the project (to a point), and would probably feel better about not having unknown-quality work buried down deep someplace I can't really see. but I'm starting to think...

My only FIRSTHAND experience with one was 4.7 hours logged in N2502U back in the early 1990's, a C172D, with I a 180HP Franklin. The guy on the field that owned it at the time used to go on an on about how smooth it was. He was nice enough to let me fly it some. He sure did baby that thing...

For the PPE..... if you are putting a sump pump in, then it must be wet I've worked under several different houses in the crawl spaces. Many times. Always dry, no ppe, never a problem....just get dusty Then when I got married, was working on my wife's house getting it ready to sell. It was...

How hard has it been at these places to find a weekend when the cabins aren't already booked?

What are the current ballpark lead times for engines and avionics? I think I've read about some pretty long leads on engines..at least from continental and lycoming. How about Rotax lead times? and how about lead times for avionics? I'm daydreaming hard about retiring in a couple short years...

so if I understand correctly, even if his bladders are fine, the overflow has washed away the tape's mastic...likely leaving his bladders unprotected from abrasion.

@jnmeade ..... since there's not a lot of experimental discussion here at POA, and especially it seems for Ran's I'm wondering if you've come across any other forum/discussion sites that are active for Ran's types and builders? Seems like the factory one is not active, nor is the facebook group...
