    Exercise— What’s your routine?

    Elliptical 5-6 mornings a week - 3 miles each / gym 2-3 times a week - 3 more miles on elliptical, 3 sets of 10 on 6 weight machines and crunches in the sauna. So, not much ;)

    Woooshhh... Out the window goes....

    I lost my sunroof plexiglas in the Citabria. When we repaired it, we found that it was missing a retainer that should have been installed when it was rebuilt in 1999. It appeared they used 100 mile an hour tape in place of the retainer. It barely goes over a hundred, no wonder it failed :)

    US Senate weighs mandatory GA insurance

    Liability for those (non-motorized) already covered under the homeowners liability. For example, if you fall off your skateboard and it flies through the neighbors window, it will be covered. However, not a great comparison to aircraft liability risk - a skateboard might take out a $500...

    So how did this guy pass his check ride?

    It looks like he pulled the video - I was in the middle of it, it sounds like the examiner knows that it is poor prep from that CFI.

    Make sure mags are back to BOTH before takeoff

    If the first mag is dead, why keep going with the test, you aren't going anywhere now anyway.

    Make sure mags are back to BOTH before takeoff

    And, I know a guy ;) that didn't figure out he was on one mag for quite a while on a short trip. Was sure something was wrong, didn't catch it on the checklist, the key looked right, but the EGT's were higher than normal. Finally caught it and all was well.

    Make sure mags are back to BOTH before takeoff

    I always teach the mag check as back 2, check drop, back to both, back 1, check, back to both. It seems like a less likely way to accidentally leave it on one since you wouldn't aciddentillay leave it on one if you at least move the switch back one.

    Offering strangers rides

    Just last week I had just been landed after a 30 minute flight, as I rolled out to the far end on my grass strip I saw some kids/parents watching. I shut down, asked if any of them wanted a ride and they all came rushing over. I ended up giving the neighbors niece a flight over the city. I...

    Grass strip help

    I wish I would have had that piece of equipment when I was working mine over. The north 300' are a little rough but the rest is smooth. I can't imagine needing to use that after the grass is established.

    Grass strip help

    No regulations in my county. Only filed the Notice of Intended Landing Area form. Got the letter after the airspace study - no objections. It took a lot of bulldozer and speed mover work to get it smooth. Then fertilizer and landscape raking, then Bermuda sprigging. I did this this season and it...
