This last year or so has not been so good, and I have put on some weight. I check my blood pressure monthly and noticed it was too high at my last check and then checked it every day for a few days since, and it is still too high. I have always had fantastic lower pressure, but am now 50. While...

While not cheap the PM3000 is not crazy expensive either. Thanks for the lead! Just what I was looking for.

I have a basic Sigtronics SPA-400 Intercom, 4 place. What would be the most economical way to be able to play music over the comm system, and then secondly, be able to isolate my PAX so they can have music, but I can talk to ATC without interruption, when I choose?

Come on guys. I knew I 'd get a finger or two pointed at me, but this one was not me.

Found a broken wire at the co-pilot's headset plug which is the main lead from the comm that branches off to the other two passengers from there. Quick fix!

I was recently flying around and would tune in the closest airport just to be aware of other air traffic and to sometimes report my position if I cross an approach path to one of those airports even though I was outside their airspace. Overheard on the radio: " VFR traffic squawking 1200, north...

I found a broken lead wire at the co-pilot jack for the headset input. Of course the other passenger jacks are wired to this jack, so problem solved! luckily it was not an expensive in-depth fix, but a 10-min solder job.

I have a Sigtronics SPA-400 4-place intercom. No problems on the last flight up to shutdown. Tonight, I could hear my passengers, but they could not hear me or the radio, nor each other, or themselves in their ear phones. All plugs were double checked, all radios and main power cycled to no...

Does the 990 NM ferry flight when I purchased my plane count even with a three day delay after the first 630 miles, for weather? Longest leg was 330 NM. Four landings total for the entire trip. I think I have that already covered! I'm just beginning to look into all of this, so forgive my lack...

I am a <100 hour private pilot and want to get my CFI. I understand I can get my CFI without IFR endorsement, although that will limit what I can do with my Commercial endorsement. My plan is to hit All three IFR, CFI, and Commercial at once. I'm struggling with how many flight hours each...

First time plane owner. 1958 Tri-Pacer. I know I need to store the plane out of the sun and preferably in an enclosed hanger. What can I use to clean the window, and what should I avoid like the plague? Washing the plane, can I just use standard car wash soaps? How about waxing the plane, both...

To close this thread, I found an awesome EAA member and CFI, Billy Mitchel, in Broomfield to give me 1.5 hours of instruction and sign off. I am home with the plane and still am trying to figure out how to land it, but at least I can get it down, although pretty ugly.

It is likely I am buying a 1958 Tri-Pacer on Friday and meeting the seller at this airport for the pre-buy inspection. My insurance, for what ever reason is requiring a sign off from a CFI before I can fly PIC. They require the CFI to have 5 hours in a Tri-Pacer. I will of course fly with the...

I found one over at Rocky Mountain Metro Airport, so have this covered. Everyone at Front Range was booked solid.
