    Whistling noise in IMC?

    I had a loud whistle in my 182rg. I tried several things to isolate the problem. Mine ended up being the rough tape on the steps and wing spar to gain access to the top of the wing. Air would get underneath some of the tape and cause it to whistle. Once I took it off and used paint, instead...

    Aviation Books

    Thanks, I looked for a thread before posting. I will dig a bit deeper. Thanks for the input!

    Aviation Books

    Does anybody have any recommendations on good aviation books? I have read The Killing Zone, 81 lessons, a few Richard Collins and weather books. Any must-reads or particularly enjoyable books about aviation? I am looking to build a reading list for the winter months.

    Flying Magazine article

    You are probably right. I wasn't asserting that King is for the defund the police movement, but that Flying magazine was using it for their gain. The triggering, cancel culture stuff makes me sick, but here I am triggering and cancelling. This was the feedback I needed. Thanks,

    Yes, that is what I was saying. If you want to accuse me of wanting to shoot you, you can post whatever you want. Have fun!

    Flying Magazine article

    Could you point me to where I asserted that? I would like to edit it if it came across that way.

    Flying Magazine article

    That is a great point. The process ends with people in handcuffs. The police are trained to get the occupants into custody, then sort it out once everybody is safe. Rarely do people in stolen vehicles say they know it is stolen. It took the police a bit of time to figure out that the...

    Flying Magazine article

    I was triggered. I am hoping to get some feedback from the aviation community. I read an article written by John King (of King Schools) in the September 2021 issue of Flying magazine. In this article, John recounts a story where he was pulled out of his airplane in CA by police at gunpoint...

    G1000 vs. G500txi

    I currently have a 1982 Cessna 182rg with a G500txi and Garmin 750. I am considering "upgrading" to a newer Turbo 182 with a WAAS G1000, but not the nxi version of the G1000. It seems the major difference is no flight stream in the G1000, along with a slower processor and lower screen...

    Flight following and Class Charlie airspace

    So on the return trip through the Class B, I would need them to specifically say I am cleared through the Bravo?

    Flight following and Class Charlie airspace

    Yesterday, I flew VFR from KMKC (Downtown Kansas City (in Class D, under KMCI Class B airspace)) to KMLE (Millard, NE), which is just outside of Omaha's Class C airspace. I would need to breach the Class C, if I was going direct, or navigate around it. I get flight following when I leave...

    Tug, robot, or 4 wheeler?

    I am looking to buy a means of getting my plane in and out of the hanger. I started looking at tugs and robots, but for the cost it almost seems comparable to a 4 wheeler. The 4 wheeler seems to have other advantages (use away from hanger, ability to tow to gas pumps and save a start, etc.)...
