Two setups I'm selling. First has the Tough-Wedge inflatable base, ball base, socket arm, and iPad mount. $100. Second is suction mount, ball bases, socket arm, and iPad Air mount. $75

That only works in a declining interest rate environment or one with significant housing appreciation in which you could do a cash-out refinance but even then you are likely offsetting some cashflow from your rentals due to the higher mortgage amount.

Ram mounts are really good. There are a number of options...suction cup, permanent mount, and one (not sure what it's called) that goes between the seats and inflates to stay put then has a telescoping arm.

Public benefit flying is some of the most rewarding flying there is. Bravo!

Devastating. Looks like a direct hit.

The oxygen conservers aren't cheap, but well worth it. No necessarily for the cost savings on O2 but also for the reduced refill frequency unless you have your own refilling setup or have a convenient option on the field. I've found the cost of O2 varies greatly...have paid anywhere from...

Are you asking for suggestions on the minimums (ceiling, visibility, etc.) or sources from which to obtain the weather information? The initial responses capture the latter well. As for the former, if you are out of practice I would start with an instructional flight with a CFI to validate...

That can be fixed relatively simply with the Tamarack STC.

I would think the 20-25% range would be when it hits in earnest, but remember being underwater doesn't mean sale is forced as long as buyer can/does continue to make payments. I would think that most aircraft owners have good credit and recognize the value of good credit so wouldn't just walk...

I would find it hard to believe any Cirrus would be under water. You need minimum 10% down and prices don't seem to have moved much from the peak. Anyone that bought more than a year ago is likely sitting on some additional equity from appreciation.

Uggh...what a tough job that would be. Incredible seeing such a robust airframe end with that outcome.

I did a fair amount of my primary training in both the DA-20 Eclipse and DA-40 Diamondstar. They are really great planes. DA40 is a solid value. It is 25-30 kts slower than an SR22, but also is much more efficient, has lower fixed costs (insurance and no CAPS), and priced correspondingly...

This^ Plus, the house may be fairly priced but their budget is below said price and they are trying to get a deal.
