    For Sale 1946 Aeronca 7ac - $30000 - Detroit

    That was listed on Facebook Marketplace here in the Detroit area last week. He was asking 30k, but a couple days ago he changed the listing to 18K and sold. I remember seeing this plane at Plymouth Mettetal airport years ago when I was flying out of there. It was a beautiful plane then!

    New App provides "visual METARS"

    I am just trying to understand what they are showing. The winds, ceiling and altimeter all are pretty self explanatory... What is the outer ring with the plane trying to depict?

    Pilots Bill of Rights

    The way I read the bill, if you have an existing SI, you will never need a medical again. There are a list of items in the bill such as heart problems, neurological issues, mental health issues that would require a one time SI after they are discovered. See subsection (e) in the link...

    Pilots Bill of Rights

    As long as you do not fall into a small group of problems needing an SI (mental illness, heart problems, etc), then you are correct.

    According to AOPA, the Manchin amendment was passed, but a full committee vote was deferred due to scheduling conflicts. :dunno: http://www.aopa.org/News-and-Video/All-News/2015/November/18/Committee-passes-Manchin-amendment-to-PBR2

    House with hangar for rent Wilmington NC

    The title of the thread is "House with hangar for rent Wilmington NC". So my best guess, would be that is probably located in Wilmington NC :D

    Bringing an RV(Camper) to OSH

    Anything in Camp Scholler will get you the full experience. In my opinion, the day time is only a tiny part of the enjoyment of Airventure. That said, from my past experience, the full hook up sites are usually long gone by opening day. If you are local, or have somebody willing to help...

    Oshkosh Camping

    Can you provide a link to that? I have been searching the AirVenture website, and can only find info on lodging (hotels, private houses, and dorms). All the camping they seem to reference is on airport EAA camping.

    Oshkosh Camping

    I got a couple unexpected days off, and was thinking about heading over to Air Venture for the 28th and 29th. Usually I just throw a tent down wherever I go, but see they require a minimum of 3 nights. Are there any other off airport camping sites you guys know about? I dont need...

    annoyed with flight school

    Just a quick observation, when I was learning to fly, the flight school had two 172's. I don't remember the details on years, but one had an airspeed indicator in MPH, and one was in knots. If you didn't pay attention, and just stuck it on 65, one would float forever!

    Is this Trike a Lawn Ornament?

    You could apply as a builder for an experimental amateur built C of A, but that would require builder logs and being able to prove you built the trike. You could also go the experimental exhibition route, but that is very restrictive, and you would need to find a DAR (Designated...

    Is this Trike a Lawn Ornament?

    Getting a N number is easy....mail your money in and reserve it. Being able to use that N number on a plane that has a certificate of airworthiness is a completely different animal.

    Is this Trike a Lawn Ornament?

    He said it has two seats, so right from the start it does not qualify for 103. If you remove a seat and put a 5 gallon tank on it, it is possible, but unlikely, able to meet 103 weight requirements. There are ways to still get a cert of airworthiness for it, but most are pretty shady...

    CS Prop on 182 misting light amount of oil on hood and windshield

    There are 3 different seals in that area that everyone is talking about. One is the oring that goes on the front of the crankshaft and seals the prop to the crank flange. The next is the crank seal that goes around the front of the crank and seals the outside of the crank to the engine case...

    Pitts gets world record inverted spin title. 81

    I was always taught that in class A airspace, all flights need to be on an IFR flight plan. How did he get IFR clearance in a plane that is clearly not IFR capable? Just trying to learn ;)

    o-233

    I am not sure how you expected to get an accurate number from POA. Its not like every plane flying with a o-233 in America has a representative on here, and there is no database of part failures that I know of. Good luck with the replacement!
