It's important, critical, that you have a clear understanding of hypoxia. I have experienced it twice. Once at 12,000 and once a little higher. Absolutely take a CFI with you and here's why. In both my cases, I slowly and without noticing at first, I just started feeling great! The plane felt...

The NTSB is just taking a pot shot at DG because he's constantly calling them out for not doing what is supposed to be part of their jobs - making recommendations to improve safety after each accident. IMO this is a clear attempt on their part to try and discredit him. If the light was...

How is Hitler's anti-semitism and ethnic cleansing related to SF politics? I don't think you have any idea what he was referring to.

Years ago i was in a similar situation. I made the decision to move on with my life and let her go. It was the right decision for me. I still think about her once in a while. The one thing I've learned is that when a woman is desperate to have a child, the husband will likely take second...

There are short cuts to bar chords. If you can't do a full bar, just select a simplified version and move on. Don't let the inability to get a full bar chord hold up your progress. This is coming from a guy that's "played" (usung yhe term loosely) the guitar for 30 years and still doesn't...

Such a seemingly short and simple flight in a very capable aircraft. This is one of those accidents that just seem bloody unfair. A young kid, just a few minutes in a cloud, and it's all over. When I think of all the times I got lucky over the years it makes me wonder why couldn't he get lucky...

No.

Project Farm recently reviewed torque wrenches. it's worth a watch.

If this is your first build you may end up surprised at how much time and effort is involved in installing a lycoming engine with all of its disparate parts. There will be no guidance, support, or internet data that will help you figure it out. I know because I did it for my Zenith. The one...

I started a users group for the IFly GPS and new EFB. I've been using the gps (720 then 740B) and software for years. Right now there are major changes going on that has left both old and new users with a lot of questions. The Adventure pilot forum on their website has never gotten much...

I did a west coast to east coast and back in my 100 knot plane two years ago. It was in May as well. I spent 7 out of 17 days sitting in hotel rooms waiting for better weather (plane is not IFR). I'm not convinced there is a perfect time, but at least it's not too hot in May.

Mama's fish house is booked solid a month in advance. The trip around the south end was terrifying. The road is one lane (technically closed) and in terrible condition. A local told us we could "get thru" even though it was closed. Should not have listened to her.

These things are like an Easy Bake Oven inside. Even if it's cool outside, hot as hell inside.

The last part was marked "closed" but a local said we could make it. Soooo freakin sketchy! I was crappin my pants for the 3 miles of single lane, no turnaround, crappy road , with a sheer drop off to the ocean. I'm an off roader whose used to some scary roads but this damn thing was...

I've been using leakguards for 8 years. Only had one problem, and that was installer error (me).
