Free hat is nice. It is the best fitting hat I own

If it’s VFR, can’t you just go over the top from W to E and not talk to anyone?

The main difference is at annual. Pushrods are way easier to lube and you don’t have to check tension. Probably saves $45 / year in labor.

Changing the filter every other oil change is what it says to do in my zero turn mower manual

Why don’t more people use anonymous mode or block their tail number?

Right. Google maps is going to show the ground hog holes or errant rake / rut left in the field hours earlier? Same with the car…yes it would be useful but anything can change the moment you leave. A low pass is the only way to visually establish if it is safe to land at that moment in...

Does anyone here have experience with either of the two insurers listed above? Does one have a better reputation when settling claims? thx

Fields, roads and golf courses…if you use FlyQ or Foreflight setup the satellite view layer and you will have a better chance at finding one of the above emergency landing locations at night.

Any time I fly a plane I haven’t flown before I go out and see where THAT plane stalls.

Best idea I have heard all month!

The only solution is to take control of your own freedom to fly by buying some land and keeping a nice 2000’ lawn.

Right now I’m the coolest kid on the block because I get to burn leaded gas that smells great. Without the lead I’m gonna loose cool points. I wonder what the new GAMI stuff smells like. I hope it’s not like mogas that stinks you up for days after a spill.

I think dirty wings make the plane faster…shark skin effect.

As I get older I get fatter and my takeoff and landing numbers suffer. I should probably start adding a few VGs each year to keep my numbers in check.

If anyone here is looking to sell a set of rudder pedal extensions for a 1962 C182 please let me know.
