    Phillips CPAP and BiPAP Recall - FAA sleep apnea compliance?

    So I emailed my AME and asked the question about this recall and the repercussions - He talked the FAA: His response: Thanks for the e-mail. I called the FAA and spoke to the doctor there. He basically said that there are 2 issues. First, your question. He said that if you include the...

    Toledo air show ktol

    Glad I read this forum. I have a xc next week from SoCal to ktol for a antique motorcycle meet in Wauseon. I'm getting my car at ktol and hotel nearby. When I called the fbo a few weeks ago they didn't mention the show. I was going to give friends at the show rides in my plane from Fulton...

    Gas - how low can it go?

    The spark ev has a 0-60 of 7.9 seconds. Very respectable for a small car. It has 141hp and 327 ft lbs of torque. That torque gets you across the intersection before most other cars. Check your facts before you quote incorrect facts. Don't be a hater. Try a EV before you start bashing them...

    Gas - how low can it go?

    Until you've driven a ev don't judge them. I had a volt and traded it in for a chevy spark ev. 82 mile range. It's my daily commuter car. It's so great I got one for my wife to drive to work. When we need to go longer distances we will choose one of our other ten cars or one of our four...

    1st post. flying from South Dakota to KRAL

    I have a hangar at KRAL also. So I'm biased. But I've also had my planes at KFUL and Kcno. Goto Kcno to visit the museums. Goto KFUL to be close to Disneyland. They have transient parking at the base of the tower. And rental cars are available from either fbo Cno or ral will have cheaper...

    Why change oil in airplanes?

    I was told by the former owner of my plane not to worry about changing the oil. His view was the engines burn 1-2 gph from a tank of 26 gal so why bother changing the oil. Just dump another 5 gallons after your $1000 hamburger run. Since I've owned it I've now rebuilt both engines, and I'll...

    Transient Parking at Santa Barbara KSBA

    I would fly into KSBA to pick up my daughter who was a student at UCSB to bring her home. If I did a quick turn it was always $20. You can ***** and complain about it, or realize that at an airport that must provide security since they have a passenger terminal they do have overhead. Besides...

    Fuel Prices

    Kcno is great in So Cal picked up 250g today to top the main tanks in my plane today for $4.99/g fs off the truck. Of course is it truly full service when you sit on your wing and fill it yourself? Good news only burned 110g on our 1.3 hr flight. 15sob 100deg at Kcno but felt great when we got...

    Slip to landing

    Slips are fun! I have a C177B the poh allows slips in all flap configs. I'll purposely stay at pa on final then dump full flaps and rudder pedal to the floor for fun. It's good to see what you can do in your plane and watch you vert speed hit 1500-2000 fpm It's fun to see your passengers...

    Ease family concerns of flying small aircraft

    I always tell friends I have the triple threat. 1. I ride horses 2. I ride street bikes including high performance 3. I fly ga airplanes. Out of those the horse has put me in the hospital, but I feel the motorcycle is the most dangerous. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

    Learning to fly warbirds

    When you figure it out on a mpg basis the t6 and p-51 get the same mpg. The increased p-51 burn is offset by the increase in speed. But when you account for engine costs the t6 beats the p-51 in hourly operating costs. But if you can afford a p-51 you don't care anyways! Sent from my iPad...

    SOCAL and southern Nevada flyers...

    Why do you say that. I fly to Khnd 2-3 times a year. Always professional and friendly. They've even asked if I wanted a go around because they thought I was high after a base to final. Said nope chop, full flaps, drop, slip, hit the numbers. Worse thing about Vegas -it's too bloody hot in the...

    Learning to fly warbirds

    The CAF is a great resource. The problem with the local wings is the politics. Don't think you can just walk in and start flying the big iron. I've seen a 10,000 hr ATP with 1k hour tw time denied to fly a Cub without lots of dual on top of his sponsorship and no guess of how many years until he...
