Curious to learn what worked on your Tailwind. Have used 2 inch copper tape with sufficient bandwidth.

These guys do cables for whole family of GoPro's: https://www.nflightcam.com/collections/cables Connected all up, mounted GoPro (C172) behind seats and recorded away. Had headset audio (intercom and radio). Be warned, these guys got all sorts of goodies you never thought you'd ever need. $$$...

If anyone requires ballast to Nashville, I also have access to the best high protein, low carb chewable finger snacks that can masquerade as superior pilot food. On the odd occasion I can also find the throttle and the toe brakes. Just saying...

I'd offer my services as bonafide-weightshiftable-selfloading ballast :):D:) but you're a smidgen out of range (and in the wrong direction damn!). Visit Nashville (commercial into BNA) every 2 weeks. Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy (the spicy chicken takes some getting use to but utterly addictive)...

I flew commercial this weekend and here's some interesting findings discovered. WingsX locked GPS sats on the ground ALL the way up to our cruise alt of 36000ft! WOW, WOW, WOW! This naturally suggests there is GPS signals being received INSIDE the Faraday cage of the airliner! Only after I...

Ed, the 12 inch window equates to approx 30 cm. No reason why a 20cm signal cannot fit through. I have no interest in willy waving with you or you trying to prove why the signal won't reach inside. An aisle seat perhaps no more than 40 inches from the windows does afford a reasonably good view...

Ed, if you can see outside (sky, ground, horizon) the window from the aisle seat then you are also able to receive signals along the same path. Stewartb, RussR an Cap'n Jack thank you for your input and replies. Haven't ever heard of any of those devices. Plenty to look into. And on a totally...

Using cellular enabled iPad with WINGS-X which works great bimbling along a 172 cockpit. Also works pretty great flying commercial (isle seat on Southwest) during taxi to takeoff. All data fields are updating excellently. Once above 12000ish ft. the GPS discombombulates and simply doesn't...

It may prove an easy litmus test to send an aspiring soloist to rent at DVT for their pre solo and complete 2 hours of various full stops mixed in with some T & Gs. Then a few short trips to various neighboring airfields (Glendale, Scottsdale) and back for some circuit joins to DVT. Perhaps...

With COVID the teaching has gone online using a camera + laptop. So no possibility of getting COVID contamination from teacher or visa versa. Also increases possibility of long distance tuition. It's always a simple matter of having a chat to feel them (teacher) out on what they know and what...

Sounds like she doesn't have a teacher to suggest to her what strings to use. Jargar Strings Classic, Forte for the A + D strings, Medium for the G + C strings. Truthfully there's a stack of variables, it may prove fruitfully prudent to ask the wife what she's unhappy about the one string. Is...

Gorgeous!

Better than to have a radio and not need it than need a radio and not have it....? Just building up my post count :)

The food kiosk opposite the entrance to Hilversum vliegveld does food so much (best Uitsmijter) better than the restaurant on the airfield, you really should try it (perhaps not their coffee). Although sitting outside the restaurant on airfield you get awesome opportunity as the aircraft come...

"What is the practical difference between RG-58 and RG-400?" Just signed up for an account to answer. Got no skin in the game. "We require users to have more than 5 posts in order to include links in posts. This is used to prevent spam." As you can see cannot post any link to any coax...
