    VW Diesel Particulate Filter. Help!

    Yikes. Our 2010 Jetta TDI has had an engine light come on at 98,000 miles. Our son took it to a VW dealer and was told that the DPF needed replacing, and that it would cost $3,200.00 !!!! Looking into this on the internet, it looks like, with other manufacturers (certainly heavy trucks)...

    N/A Recommend electric room heater

    I am looking for recommendations for an electric heater to use in our bedroom. My wife and I live in basically two rooms. We recently installed a gas-fired "woodstove" in the combo family room/kitchen, and it works so well that we might only light the central furnace when the "kids" come home...

    Interesting GPS approach at KMTV

    I saw this approach today, and thought it was interesting in that it did not have any alignment procedures at the IAF (no T-shaped feeders, or sectors marked "no PT", or a holding pattern depicted). Martinsville, VA KMTV. RNAV(GPS) RW30 http://155.178.201.160/d-tpp/1310/05648R30.PDF I would...

    Ride in a Peterson 182 near NW NC?

    I currently own a 210, but I like the safety aspects of the slow flight afforded by the Peterson-modified 182 (260se). I have never flown in one, however. I live in NW North Carolina and would be willing to travel a reasonable distance for the opportunity to ride in one (and would even buy...

    Can anyone identify this flying boat?

    This is a photograph of my grandfather at the controls of some type of flying boat, possibly around 1930. Can anyone identify it? Thanks. Wells

    Legend on Convective Outlook Map?

    Can someone please decode the "TSTM" (the green areas) on the NWS Convective Outlook Map? I assume that, given the gradation of the other levels (SLGT, MOD, HIGH) that this is a lever lower than "slight", but I want to know what the actual acronym stands for. Thanks. Wells

    IPAD app for European travel?

    I have an IPAD that I use exclusively for Foreflight. We are going to Spain soon and I figured there must be some good app that would help us drive around (Internal GPS), and maybe even some apps with tourist sights, etc. Does anyone have any good suggestions? Thanks. Wells

    Recommendation for phone

    My contract is with Verizon, and my phone just died. I need a new one, but really don't know what capabilities these things do. Mostly I just use the thing as a phone, but I am texting more than I used to, so I know that I want a slide-out QWERTY keyboard. I have never had a smart phone, but...

    Paypal security?

    I have never bought or sold anything on ebay, but I have perused it from time to time, like when trying to establish values on avionics removed from my plane. Now I have something I want to buy, but can only find on ebay, and the only method of payment is Paypal. When I went to establish a...

    Map App for iPAD?

    I just bought a 3G iPAD, but dont have much need for data service. (I bought the 3G version for the GPS chip, to run Foreflight and have my position displayed on the charts). I see that the Map function included with the iPAD requires data service. I was wondering if there is an App...

    Mac applications?

    I am not a computer person at all, using a computer solely for e-mail (via AOL) and flying-related stuff (these types of webboards, briefings, flight planning, updating Garmin cards, etc). I have always had PC type machines, but my laptop is really in its last stages. A computer-savvy friend...

    Trouble with AOPA Board

    While I like the POA site, the AOPA board still has many more participants/posts, so I hang out there, when I can. Periodically, though, it does not seem to work, or I cannot access it. I have been able to get on it now for several months, with a bookmark taking me right to the board, until...

    Multi training in your own plane?

    The wife has decided that she wants a second engine, so I might be moving up from my Cardinal RG (possibly to a Twin Comanche). The insurance quotes are staggering, and I am still in the process of comparing other cost differences. I have about 900 hours, but basically no multi time (and no...

    Flame Test for Interior Materials

    Installing a new interior continues to confuse me, but I now find myself wanting to proceed at least with having my seats rebuilt/recovered ASAP (putting plane in for Annual on May 9, and want to take the seats to neighborhood auto upholstery man while the plane is being worked on). I am...
