What is the average cost and time for students to get the tailwheel endorsement?

I'm looking into the possibility of getting a light backcountry plane. Just curious on everyone's thoughts on the Stinson 108's. I've seen a few of them with bush wheels and they seem to have a variety of engines depending on the one you find. Anything from the original Franklins (which came in...

How's the hangar situation in Las Vegas? I may be spending some time there and would like to have a hangar. I've been spoiled where I'm at now, which I suspect won't be the case in Las Vegas. North Las Vegas (KVGT) is where I'm looking at, specifically. Any other information about Las Vegas...

I'm looking for a 2016 back country aviation calendar. One of the Piper Cub websites has one but you have to be a member. Cub Crafters may have one coming out but it isn't out yet. Does anyone know of where I could find one? Google hasn't been that much help. What kinds of calendars does...

I'm looking at adding a fuel monitor to my plane and wanted opinions on these two models. They're about the same function wise, but I'm curious as to real world feedback. I'm leaning towards the EI purely because I like the way it looks better. What's the general consensus on these two models?

Bill Would Allow Online Flight Sharing Aviation Cost and Expenses Sharing Act of 2015 I'm not sure that this bill will get a lot of traction until after the courts have made their decision. Even then it still may not. Still, I'm glad to see people in Congress at least attempting to make changes.

NOW ARRIVING: AIRPORT CONTROL TOWERS WITH NO HUMANS INSIDE This is an interesting concept. I can see the positives and negatives to this. Despite the positives, I can't see how taking controllers away altogether is a good idea. I think the implementation of the high definition cameras can aid...

Football season is back! College week 1 is complete, and NFL week 1 starts this week. Who's your teams (both college and NFL)?

I'll be flying through that area and may have a few days to spend in New Orleans. I'm curious what the best airport to land at is and if their fees are reasonable. I've never been there so an airport that's close to the French Quarter and some of the more notable landmarks would be great. I'll...

I reformatted my MacBook Air (2013) yesterday thinking that would solve the issues I have been having with ridiculously slow internet (to the point that pages just won't load in any browser). Now the internet doesn't work at all. The network settings show that it's connected to the Wi-Fi but...

First, I'm not looking for financial advice that I'd get from a professional financial advisor, I'm just looking for opinions and how others do it. How many of you invest your savings instead of putting it into savings? I've got some money that is in savings that I think would be better...

I know we have a lot of Dallas area pilots here so I'm looking for some information on flying into Addison, TX. I may be going there soon and am most curious on how it is transiting through the Dallas Class B. The flight will be VFR. I have no intention of purchasing fuel there -- I'll get it...

Tapatalk was updated again and I like the new layout but I think there may be a bug when you go into a thread. Every time I go into a thread it automatically takes me to the last post, even if it's a thread I haven't read before. I checked the settings and I have it set correctly but it isn't...

Has anybody taken any of the courses offered by http://www.aviationseminars.com? I'm thinking about taking their IFR course and knocking out the written quickly. I already signed up for the King online IFR course and have pretty much completed it but work has become so busy lately that I really...

When you download a new app that requires you to register in order to use it, do you prefer to create your own username/account or link it to your Facebook or Twitter account?

When you land at an airport, do you go for the cheapest fuel or do you prefer going to bigger FBO's you are already familiar with? Does the location of the FBO or amenities have any impact? In other words, if a smaller FBO offers cheap fuel, no ramp/landing fees and few other small things...

My MacBook Air doesn't seem to like to load webpages. I've tried Safari, Firefox and Chrome. It connects to the network without any issues but doesn't load webpages very often. Sometimes it loads pages without an issues and then just stops. It's a nightmare trying to go through the IFR training...

Who is watching? I'd like to see Oregon and Alabama win.
