Installing new Trig TY96 radio soon in Pitts S-2A. Currently have a PM1200 Intercom. Trig has a built-in one. Should I keep the PM1200 or discard it and start using the intercom in the new radio? Any pros or cons? Thanks!

In my drafty non-heated Pitts I've done ~0F / -20C for half an hour or so of aerobatics. Warms you up a bit, but you're so snug and can't move much, so that's where most of the cold comes from, getting your blood vessels stuck. That plus the wind you get blowing on your neck. In a Cessna/Piper...

Hard to find, but Bulldog is an option: http://www.pilotweb.aero/features/flight-tests/flight-test-scottish-aviation-bulldog-1-4797137

As Curtis once said, "There is no such thing as a squirrely airplane, just squirrely pilots."

Statistically I've seen more people feel sick from rolls than loops. Quite often the world spinning in front of you and the brain to body disconnect from that is bigger in rolls than the G's in a loop, especially when you just keep looking to one wingtip or sight.

Somehow I can't open it up :) The screw just keeps turning around, both when I keep the plastic in place or when that turns also. It's on my Pitts S2, which originally has one without the fine-tuning, which I'd like to keep. The reason for replacement is that the push-button does not disengage...

Can you help identify the manufacturer (or exact part no) of this mixture knob:

Really loved the bi-fold Flightgear iPad kneeboard in Cessnas/Pipers. Good for carrying both the iPad, a paper notebook for jotting down notes and frequencies etc, plus documents and logbooks etc all in one. Can't really use it well in Pitts though because of the space constraints and stick...

Very similar to the experience Sean Tucker, who was afraid of flying, has told many times. Here is one variation: "Years ago, when he started flying in his home state of California, Tucker was -- as he put it -- "the most fearful flier you've ever seen." He panicked while practicing stalls -- a...

Just to cheer up all Americans, paying $10/gallon here in Europe :)

Nope. They just say: "Flight plans can now be created online using AOPA’s Flight Planner and SkyVector on a computer and sent to Garmin Pilot on a mobile device."

I've found most passengers enjoy not just stalls, but even more so spins.

Thank you for developing it! Have used it on many occasions. Sometimes it's just fun to play around on map to see which landmarks could form the box area.

Spencer Suderman has quite many at: https://www.youtube.com/user/ssairshows Most 360 videos are much better watched on a mobile, since moving it around changes the view organically.

Mine isn't :) Still going strong since 2012, so it's been 5 years. Not having the latest iOS version does not mean it's not completely usable yet. But to answer your question: yes, it's at least 3 years, more realistically 4-5 years.
