    Aviation Safety Magazine?

    I do. It’s one of the better magazines. In general, the less-flashy magazines are way better than the Plane & Pilot or Flying type. IFR, Aviation Safety, type club mags, etc.

    NA - All wheel drive car and replacing tires

    Tire Rack offers a ‘shaving’ service to get the new tire down to matching the old ones. Yes, you lose half the life off the new one but it beats buying four.

    Which tool brand is best for occasional use?

    A reasonable plan is to buy Harbor Freight, and anything you use often enough to break or be irritated by the quality, replace that single piece with something expensive like SnapOn.

    Show me your bags and sacks

    What kind of stuff are you carrying around in those bags? How much do you actually use? Seems like a whole lot of stuff.

    Becoming a ground school instructor

    Are you clicking the button to read the explanations? Most of them are pretty good. Regardless, the point is to ace the written. You can easily score in the high 90s after a couple of days of study and then do whatever you like to learn the material in-depth.

    Becoming a ground school instructor

    Sheppard Air hands down. I made a 100 on the FOI and 96 on the AGI with only a couple days study.

    Help me decide where to crash

    I debated this a lot flying out of M01 in Memphis. The options are basically trees, small and people-filled park, or the Mississippi River. It seemed like the best plan was the river near shore, or a sandbar if the river stage happened to be low.

    Flight Chops is building an RV-14

    Who cares who is paying for it? He’s got a high-quality channel that’s drawing attention to a sport that definitely needs growth. More power to him.
