I fly 182T and 182Q regularly and must say that G1000 is a wonderful peace of equipment. 182Q has 650 and I like it, but it is hard to compare with the information ocean that G1000 provides. Also, the autopilot is one awesome peace of equipment in 182T

I love P68s - beautiful a/c to fly, very easy going, nice t/l, not fast, though (130 cruise). It does take 5 passengers and a fair bit of fuel comfortably. I would fly it any time, while Tecnam, IMHO, is an expensive 172....

"The popular explanation of lift is common, quick, sounds logical and gives the correct answer, yet also introduces misconceptions, uses a nonsensical physical argument and misleadingly invokes Bernoulli's equation." Professor Holger Babinsky, Cambridge University

Seriously? And how do the planes fly inverted? or with the symmetric profiles?

There is a beautiful medicine called Sea Legs (contain meclozine) - very few sideeffects if any and very enjoyable flying for those who suffer (https://www.netdoctor.co.uk/medicines/a7508/sea-legs-meclozine/)

When Raz was a little boy, he said to his Mommy “When I grow up I want to be a Pilot.” “Sorry sweetie”, she replied “You can’t do both”.

This is my favourite one: Glycine Airman Base 22 - imho the best aviation watch ever made :)

Thanks, but they don't sell direct to New Zealand. Anyway, already found it, thanks a lot!

Looking for a flight helmet, preferably HGU-53/55/84/p, civilian conversion, single visor.

Why is it nonsense?
