If you end up back at paint, you might be able to find a local airbrush artist that will do it. I got a custom motorcycle painter/artist to put a modern Mooney bird logo on my v-stab but with my colors and shading/highlights to make it pop more than a factory sticker. He clear-coated over it...

Only the 1982+ J models came with the removable seats. Some earlier ones might be retrofitted/modified. The fixed bench seat can be made to fold down, but it prevents the front seats from sliding fully aft, and it won't be as flat as the ones with removable seats. I've carried a pair of...

I gleefully traded in my HP L7680 OfficeJet Pro in November after I stumbled on to a promotion at Office Depot and got $50 for it. If I had a baseball bat, it would have been Office Spaced, so I'm happy I got some credit towards the purchase of a wonderful Epson. I hope your HP gives you good...

I tried to use it on Sunday evening and it said it was already expired!

I suspect he is just another young person that communicates mostly in shorthand text messages with no discernible sentence structure punctuation or capitalization and it makes it really hard to read and understand but at least he hasn't used u 2 4 etc for abbreviations yet because that really...

This x 1000! Your writing skills are, frankly, terrible. That doesn't present you in a good light to anyone reading this thread that might want to hire you, or recommend you to someone who might. I said it earlier, just get a job with line service... you'll be around planes and pilots, get...

Well, dang it! I had no idea he was sick either. I ran across him last year at the Twin Cessna convention in the vendor display area. I flew with him once in his Comanche soon after he got it. That was an exciting flight, to say the least. He had some unconventional viewpoints, but was...

Start looking for line service/FBO jobs.

I have no experience, but reading this on his site: tells me all I would want to know. He is *exactly* the guy I would try first if I had one of these radios or indicators! :D The site is far from modern, but has a lot of good info and I expect he knows what he is doing and can fix any of...

And then take your plane there! It is a great upgrade for an older 172.

Airplane lifts have been around for a while, and I know of at least one at 1K1 in a nice, big hangar. It is a good problem to have! The living quarters in that hangar are 2 or 3 stories (can't remember now) and there is an interior balcony/walkway that looks out over the fleet, except for the...

It is very industry-dependent... for example all of the engineers I work with have real engineering degrees from ABET-accredited universities. :D There is no way to back-door into this industry with a marketing degree, or aviation management for that matter. And that degree is still a...

I'll add to the chorus to expand your horizons and get a more useful/general purpose business degree, especially since you'll already have the associates degree in aviation whatever. It will give you many more options down the road vs. getting pigeon-holed into something specific. Pick a...

I wonder how much they weigh compared to a good paint job... and if you just slap it on old, tired paint, or strip the plane bare, and treat/prime the aluminum first. No question, though, the creative possibilities are endless!

I've gotten myself onto a few retailer email lists over the years, and it seems EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM is sending daily emails since last week, each with some big coupon code or deal, pre-Black Friday specials, etc. I believe their plan is to get you to finish your shopping list and/or blow...
