For us existing 430W flyers maybe this is the way to go. Avidyne is offering a free ADS-B out solution valued at $2499 with purchase of the IFD 440. As you all probably know, it's a slide in replacement for the GNS430. No rack to change out which has to save several hundred bucks maybe more on...

Who all has hand made (home made) stuff for your plane? Finding an old original Cessna gust lock is like finding the Holy Grail, so I made one out of a split ring pin and a flag. The velcro on the old 496 over the yoke assembly is another of my brainiac moments. I just stick my phone or...

WoW! Powerball is up to $900MM. That means some lucky sod could win about $500MM after taxes. What would you buy? :happydance:

Maybe she's right. I thought they were Oreo's. She says she told me they are the dogs carab cookies ... barf! :lol:

All my 'tools' are old school and heavy. I haven't bought a firearm in decades and was just wondering what's out there with good stopping power and lightweight. Thinking along the lines of reliable, powerful, and light. Easily concealable because I don't think I'll open carry even when we...

Found out last week BCBS of Texas is cancelling ALL ppo network plans for individuals and slamming us with an HMO. They even picked our doctor for us already with no input from us. .... :mad2: We're losing our doctor of twenty years.

Folks are faking disabilities to fly with their pets. A miniature horse? Really? :nonod: http://www.foxnews.com/travel/2015/12/07/people-are-faking-disabilities-to-fly-with-their-pets/?intcmp=hpffo&intcmp=obnetwork

Do they even exist anymore? Wrong board maybe, but we can't talk about flying 24/7... ;) Side note: Did y'all know banks in South Africa are paying 6% on MM insured accounts?

I feel bad because when I give another pilot a ride like today a Mooney pilot who thinks he wants a 180 I let him taxi and fly mine like a maniac but I did the take off and landing. He said he has about 60 hours tailwheel time in Citabrias and Cubs. I wanted to let him try to land it but the...

I'm thinking about doing Greg's flight school for a couple days in Alabama for fun and something different. Has anyone here done it? :) http://www.gkairshows.com/

Was cleaning out the plane and the hangar today and pulled out a binder from behind the co-pilot's seat in the elastic pocket with four or five year old sectionals in it. I realized I have not looked at any of them in those years. I said to myself "screw it, what am I carrying this weight...

New one. First year. Rockdale, TX. Proceeds go to a good flying cause. 3000' grass strip, camping, RV sites, hot showers, shuttles, motels, breakfast by EAA chapter 59. STOL competition. Ice house on site. :) I'm not affiliated, just passing it along. www.apachepass.com

Over a 'man bag.' This is gender discrimination! ;) http://www.foxnews.com/travel/2015/08/21/passenger-tasered-and-kicked-off-flight-over-man-bag-argument/?intcmp=ob_article_footer_text&intcmp=obnetwork

For the life of me I can't come up with the fastest taildragger to ever fly off the top of my head .... Before I go on a google quest, I had the bright idea I would ask all the geniuses on POA first. Who needs google anyway? :lol:

I'm sure this has been asked before, but maybe not lately. I see SDL charges a landing fee whereas DVL I don't see it ... How much does is cost to park at Scottsdale for two or three days?

Just wondering ... The 210 seems like the next logical step up for 180/182 drivers looking for more range. The 206 is a work horse, but no more speed and not much more utility than the 182. The 210 seemed to fill a nice niche. :dunno:

We need a thread of places you can scrub off your list of fields to stop at if at all possible ... My first vote is Hope, Arkansas M18 We stopped there on the way back from OSH and good lord was it hot and depressing. It stunk too. The Avgas machine faces the sun so you cannot read the LED...

We missed the malibu crash by maybe thirty minutes. The airport was closed when we got there, but one of our buds said it had looked like Hiroshima where they went down. One thing that saved the people for sure was the emergency responders were right there is what they're saying. Life flight...

Yes we did! :rockon:

Just curious if anyone has ever been checked at Osh. Seems like it would be a hay-day for the feds. I'm good to go. Just wondering .... :confused:
