With the recent, ahem, "improvements" on the aviation weather center website, I've been looking for workarounds for the information I used to get from the aviation weather center website. I still use AWC, but believe it is harder to use on the phone in particular and makes me less safe in the...

My vernier throttle pushbutton broke today. The control cable still works fine. It is in my Lancair experimental; I do not know the manufacturer of the cable. Anyone know if a replacement pushbutton might be available for this type of cable? Am I looking at having to replace the entire...

The Garmin GTN650xi units have visual approaches. Presumably other models do also. Does anyone use this function routinely? What does it do? I loaded a visual approach on a few occasions but didn't get a glideslope. Where do you find it useful?

In the spirit of the long line of thinking about threads... I'm thinking about buying a new TV. We've bought a few TV's in the last couple decades but mostly by our manager for the Gatlinburg rentals. I have not purchased a large high end TV for our great room in over a couple decades. I...

I can bulk select and delete unread gmail on a laptop, but have been unable to find a way to do so on my android via the gmail app or otherwise. Anyone know a way to do so?

An IFR flight plan is in the system and accessible from 30 minutes prior to departure until 2 hours after scheduled departure (at least this is what I have read somewhere...). Please correct me if I am wrong. Say you are planning an IFR flight tomorrow but the time of departure is uncertain...

Can anyone tell me the part number for the magneto drive gear on a slick magneto #4370 and 4373 to be used on a Lycoming o-320?

After reading the unfortunate news about Reno closing after this year, my wife and I have decided to go in September. She's never been; the last time I was there was around 45 years ago when my folks took me. Questions... We're thinking about just Saturday and Sunday at the races. Is that a...
