I have an Ipod Touch from like 2008 that has maybe 200 songs on it. My kid added the Cure's album "Kiss me Kiss me Kiss me" on it. How in blazes can I get this album off of my ipod without deleting all of my other songs? I built this play list YEARS ago and honestly, this album is the only thing...

I just watched a Youtube video in the "Experimental in Ethiopia" thread and it got me thinking and inspired this question: How exactly do you improve the glide ratio of an existing design? Is it about weight? Aerodynamic properties? What's the physics? :dunno:

I had an afternoon to myself, so I decided to take a couple of hours of dual in a Cessna 172P. My first time in a plane in like nine months...and it was weird. I'm so used to looking out the window and being assured by that low wing of the Warriors and 180s I trained in that I was so...

Super cool footage. Mythbusters joins "Mr. Wizard" and "Bill Nye the Science Guy" in making science cool.

Maybe a night flight is the key to get my wife of 22 years to fly with me once...just once. 1st ride in a small plane - AWESOME reaction - Th…: http://youtu.be/hSeUAd0_k7Y

The RV10. I've got enough kids. Alright Geico and other RV10 owners, what are the actual payloads?

I just witnessed the biggest whinefest, the likes I've never seen, in a thread where the OP received comments that weren't a direct response to his question. Said poster then pitched a hissy fit and stormed off like a Diva to pollute another online forum. It was a very childish display and...

I stumbled upon this flight while perusing Youtube. Nothing particularly special about it. "Grandma Kelley" seemed to really enjoy the flight and it just warmed my heart. The look on her face is truly evidence of the wonder of general aviation. Nothing sells general aviation like sharing it.

Perusing the "Favorite Song" thread, I thought to myself, what we need is a thread celebrating our favorite bands. (ahem)MUSIC BEGINS AND ENDS WITH STEELY DAN. (exhibit A) Please list your "runners up"....

I'm looking to harness three teenagers to home base and I want to do it without a wasteful five user cellphone plan. I don't know about your teenagers but mine never ever talk on the phone, but when they're at home, they text seemingly non stop, via wifi from their Nexus 7 tablets which Mom...

Sorry, this thread is my lame excuse to share some Jethro Tull. Look Into The Sun from the album "Stand Up". I'm transitioning from playing with my guitars to actually playing guitar and I woke up with this song in my head. What was the first song on your mnd today and why?

This is great news for some of us anyway. My special issuance is up in September and according to this I can get a regular 3rd class medical next time around, so as long as my condition remains stable and managed. I'm going Grumman Tiger shopping for sure. :yes:

I'm training for my PPL and I'm looking to make a purchase because renting with my schedule is just not working out. I am 6' 2", 280lbs and I'm not fat but because of my broad shoulders I wear a sized 52 jacket. My last plane will be a Grumman Tiger, but in the meantime, I'm interested in owning...

I was perusing the new posts and ran across the "Most ridiculously expensive....." thread and I found this post: I gotta tell ya. I am genuinely discouraged by some of the cost associated with owning a certificated aircraft. This is not the first time that I've been astounded by some...

Is there a formula, calculator or chart somewhere that lists an aircraft's maximum takeoff weight based on the powerplant's horsepower? What's the difference, say for instance, between the maximum takeoff weight of an Cessna 172 with a 150hp powerplant and the same plane with a 180hp powerplant...

So what exactly is the difference between having a Sport Pilot certificate and having a CFI endorse you to solo other than the one passenger you're allowed? Is the solo endorsement actually a PIC endorsement or is it purely you're in the aircraft alone? I know the SP certificate is a cert and...

I just went through the 3rd class medical from hell and there's no way I'm doing that again. I was very interested in owning or partnering in a Grumman Tiger. Now, I may not even be able to obtain my PPL. If, by chance I am granted a special issuance, I will settle for the Sport Pilot...

I've been looking at the Ipad since the original rolled out. I opted, instead, for an Exopc Slate running full a full version of Windows 7 and Meego. I'm no geek, so my purchase(at an amazing price) was mainly out of curiosity because I can't imagine replacing my Lenovo Thinkpad with anything...

With respect to the Cirrus SR22 and RV7a crashes this week, I want to extend my deepest condolences to the families affected. I didn't want to litter the tribute threads with my question but I was wondering if someone could guide me to a resource that would show the percentages of plane...

Forgive me if posting this is against the rules. I have no stake in this aircraft whatsoever. It just looks like a pretty good deal. Is it priced just right or am I way off for how it's equipped. Of course, I'm green, so there's something obvious other than the age that I'm missing...
