Grumman Tiger with 4 other partners!

Looking for a decent ipad mini (preferably 4 and above) for my kid. Thanks.

Thanks, they are 2 and 6! Will definitely plan next time!

Had fun flying into Jekyll Island with kids. Some gnarly crosswinds during landing..Kids had fun riding in the redbug and beach. Flew back to Atlanta the same evening.

Thanks all..for anyone interested, here is what I received from Odyssey on the fee as of 9/10/2021: Landing/Facility fee: $34 Minimum Fuel Uplift: 17 gallons (waives L/F fee and the 1st Night of Ramp) Ramp fee per/night: $22 Current fuel price: $6.04 per gallon Of course, the above information...

Thank you all for your inputs. It is going to be Odessey then. I plan on being on an IFR flight plan coming in from the north. If the weather is VFR, is it a good idea to cancel IFR and go VFR into the area? Any strategies to minimize re-routing?

I have searched the forums for recent posts before posting. Planning on taking the kiddos to the mouse place. I am looking for more recent experience with either of the FBOs or a suggestion for a different airport altogether. Thanks in advance!

I've shared this video of mine before. No matter which unit you end up getting, you can at least see how they operate in my testing. My CO monitor gave an early warning of an exhaust failure. Definitely worth getting one.

I don't think D2 Air will communicate with avionics. But the D2 Delta series will. The HRM is reliable (at least for resting, running, etc.).

KRHP - Restaurants on the river at Nantahala Outdoor Center (NOC). Call for crew car availability. Last time I have been there, the airport manager let us borrow his car.

This story has inspired me to get a detector. I tested three detectors (including the sensorcon and the amazon one) and I found this detector as the best one for pilots: https://www.sportys.com/pilotshop/carbon-monoxide-cockpit-monitor-17131.html My testing video: Not super scientific...

Sounds like a great place to visit.

I know they host various events such as Thanksgiving dinners, car races down the runway, etc. each year. I believe you may be able to attend by RSVP.

It sounds like there are more than one way to make videos to succeed. The length of the video may or may not matter, depending on the content. For example, premier1 driver, 310pilot, etc. make longer videos with great success. I am on the same boat as you on Youtube. The best advice that I got...

We did at least three trips with my 3-year old last year in the Tiger. The longest duration was about 2.5 hours (Atlanta to St. Augustine). Can't imagine drive 6+ hours with a with a toddler. I am planning to take my son (7 months) for a flight soon.
