    Lake of the Ozarks

    Biggest runway, good approaches, a big ramp, and lots of vehicle parking. The FBO building is nothing remarkable, but line service is friendly.

    Lake of the Ozarks

    That too... with trees on both sides and prevailing wind a crosswind most of the time, making for some pretty sporty landing conditions sometimes.

    Lake of the Ozarks

    It is. I'm a local, and our base is H79. A sleepy little airport (no FBO) about a 15-minute drive from the northern edge of Osage Beach. You'll be on your own for ground transportation. Almost always has tiedowns available, no transient hangars, although if a storm is on the way, I may be able...

    Bose A30 vs A20

    Bose announced the A30 a couple months after I bought the Delta Zulu. I tried the A30 on at OSH, and this was the overall impression I came away with as well.

    Rental Car hint/tip/gripe/trick/review/kvetch Thread

    I only knew of it through the CAA (Corporate Aircraft Association) contract jet fuel program, which has a relationship w/ Enterprise. I didn't know a GA eco-system existed outside of that. I've rented a number of times and different locations with the CAA discount code, and have yet to see a...

    Partnership spreadsheet

    Or, fueled with a specific amount of fuel. Can be a pain if you come to the plane wanting to put a decent load in the cabin and there's too much fuel onboard for what you're wanting to do.

    New Ipad mini?

    Your EFB taking 10 minutes to become fully functional every time you started it finally pushed you over the edge, huh? :goofy:

    Youtube Pilot and her dad perish in TN

    Or a pile-on by the original poster's sychophants.

    New Ipad mini?

    I have the mini 6 (upgraded from mini 4) running Garmin Pilot. The performance difference on the 6 vs. the 4 is phenomenal.

    Garmin G5 Calibration Pitch Shows Nose High Level Flight

    "This thread is closed". "The debate is over". Yet here you still are. The only reason it's still going is because you refuse to let it stop. If you think you're going to have the last word in a debate where most of the participants disagree with you, I question whether you understand how a...

    Hangar cameras

    We use the Arlo Pro 4 system. They don't offer continuous recording on their lower subscription tier, but if you use the audio detection to trigger recording and set the threshold pretty sensitive, you can have mostly 24-hr coverage in 2 minute increments, at least outside (wind in the...

    the truly important question we're all afraid to ask....(undecided if there's any ties to aviation)

    The lip around the edge of my range top has a rounded corner perfect for cracking eggs on.

    Burning a piano

    You can clearly see this has the makings of a derelict. Several keys down, and missing a few hammers. Wouldn't be surprised if it had more less-visible issues.

    Electronic Logbook?

    :yeahthat: I did 1½ books of back entries and that was bad enough. Anytimelogbooks.com will convert paper to digital for you and get the info back to you in Excel format. It's not cheap, but considerably less personal pain involved. Same.

    Being based at an airport that doesn’t sell fuel?

    Just buy 3 or 4 5-gal gas cans, fill them, and keep them in your hangar. If you're ever in a pinch, dump them in the plane and fill them for next time. At our uncontrolled, no-FBO, self-serve airport, we have a pickup that regularly comes in and fills a tank in the bed for supply of their...
