    Advanced Avionics vs. Conventional instruments

    Looking to build an airplane

    I dont care anything about builing a plane but love flying an Experimental, I'm on my 4th Vans RV. I like being able to work on them and making upgrades for 1/3rd the cost. Plus down time is so much less.

    TnG's in retractable gear aircraft

    My only declared emergency was while doing TnG's at Denton in a Beech sierra. I was getting checked out in retract that was at the old school across from Marcair.

    A thing that happened (And why I owe TecProtb a lifetime supply of free beer)

    I blaming your CFI, when you were transition training I remember you getting pounded about never being on grass. Fast forward to today when parking at 52F all the tie downs are over the grass, so off on the grass you go. When you fire up and have a little resistance you immediately think your...
