Although this is a Tesla thread(which is definitely a "fun" car), most of us drive out of necessity. I would LOVE to rock a Tesla for the fun factor, I was more speaking of general transportation needs being met by EVs and hybrids(which is difficult to financially justify vs the gasoline...

I really do wish cars like the Volt were affordable or justifiable. The problem is I can't justify spending $42k on what would normally be a $20-25k car at the very most. Even searching used doesn't really help. The cheapest used volt within 500 miles of me is $26k. I can find a similar...

We were on the ground and out of the aircraft with it back in the hangar by 1630z. Actual departure time was about 1540z Sent from my SPH-M950 using Tapatalk 2

My interpretation was due to lack of knowledge of some tools that were available. Airmets and sigmets did not provide an accurate picture of the act actual conditions. Realizing that we were picking up ice and the pitot failing were almost simultaneous. Believe me when I say it all happened...

Re: Unforecasted Icing Thanks for any help/insight you can provide.

Re: Unforecasted Icing Thanks for the help/input. I will definitely be more cognizant of how icing is reported and will spend a good amount of time reading on the matter.

Re: Unforecasted Icing I won't disagree even slightly. Unfortunately I went with FSS's brief and didn't check out the skewT(honestly wasn't aware of it). I am very confident that FSS said the icing level STARTED at 8k and went up. Agreed that things turned out well and I was lucky...

Re: Unforecasted Icing 1500z. The icing level according to 1800wxbrief was 8k.

I'll be honest, skewT isn't something I was familiar with. This was the last skewT out before we took off. They look similar throughout the duration of our flight. Edit: learned how to use a new tool.

With 200hp this got pretty uncomfortable. I'm not sure how it would have ended with 160. Sent from my SPH-M950 using Tapatalk 2

Unforecasted Icing Got a weather brief this morning, icing level was 8k. We took off and popped in the clouds around 1200 agl. We started picking up ice on the canopy by 2500(filed for 5k). Pitot heat didn't work and we lost airspeed indications by 3500 msl. The canopy defog also did...

206s auto extremely well. Full down autos are really fun. The high inertia rotor system makes it pretty easy. The 16000+ lb. rotary wings that I fly now are just a tad bit more exciting to auto at first... Fortunately it has 2 engines. I just started a fixed wing add on and...

Stalls in flight are very similar to a single engine failure while below single engine airspeed(multi engine). You immediately stop flying and start falling. Lower the nose with max power applied until you get above single engine airspeed. Also when coming in too fast and too high on an...

I'm at 4.3 hours at the moment, the only maneuvers in that list we have not completed yet are the ground reference maneuvers and go arounds. It took 4 patterns for me to get take offs and landings down, and he hasn't touched the controls for any maneuvers since. I'm not sure what all of the...

To the OP: I'm a current 64D/E pilot and am working on my PPL for fixed wing at this time. What Ron posted above is pretty realistic. I'm expecting about 22 hours of fixed wing time before I check out with probably about 12 being dual time. Most of the guys I work with that have done it...

I tried copying the directory to extsdcard and then changing it to /mnt/extsdcard but still no luck. I had the same problem with Naviator and you could not just change the directory name. Naviator added an option for extsdcard later which solved the problem, but I will see if I can find...

Technically it is just as much yours as it is mine. That being said, I still love it to death.

The problem is with jellybean phones /sdcard is internal memory. /extsdcard is the actual sdcard. Either way I have not found a way to store charts on the sdcard. Any help is appreciated. Sent from my SPH-M950 using Tapatalk 2

Is there a way to store the maps/plates onto an external SD card? Currently if I try to change the directory to \extsdcard it will not store or download any charts.

I just meant that I used to not understand and was irritated by a baby being upset on a plane. I now understand what those parents were going through as will most people once they have children. We came very prepared and kept her very quiet for the FIVE hours we ended up sitting on the...
