Re: Light Sport Aircraft - Icon They had one on display at the AOPA Convention last week. Speaking with the rep, I kept getting the feeling that the 139K is cast in aspic.

I only use Skype for International Calls (primarily to Australia and Italy). The rates are competitive.

I tried it but found the results from searches were more worthless than Yahoo (if that's possible).

The problem with most checklists is that very few have an orderly sequence. You're taken from one side of the cockpit to the other and back again. I make sure that all items are transcribed to a list, then I sit in the pilot's seat and run through the list putting them in some semblance of...

I owned a T-tail Lance for many years and loved it. My only faults with the plane are: 1) Preflight inspection of the T-tail (I kept a 4-rung stepladder in the plane). 2) Forward CG with only front seats occupied (I kept a toolbox in the aft luggage area). 3) When we bought our plane, the...
