I'd like to fly our Mooney Rocket to OSH this year. With barely 8" of prop clearance I'm hesitant to take it through the grass for obvious reasons. Even more so after reading through a long thread on mooneyspace from a guy who had a prop strike in his a few years ago and the nightmare that...

Brought my GoPro out to record the first flight in our 305 Rocket with a brand spankin' new pair of Garmin GI-275's. Videos of these things in the wild seem to be pretty tough to come by and I know a lot of folks are interested in these, so I thought I'd make one and share. The reason we went...

Does anyone know of a XM type (doesn't matter the provider) that allows multiple BT headphone connections - ideally 4? I can't seem to find anything that fits that bill...

Looking for the best value/most accurate EGT gauge for 2 cylinders that is compatible with the O-540? We have a PA-28 235 and currently have a single cylinder monitored but we aren't real happy with the gauge and looking to upgrade that system but also add another cylinder for better accuracy...

I recall reading in on my flying rags that the IFR written is undergoing some changes...not sure when those are hitting the streets but I'm thinking about starting my IFR training at some point early in the year...depends a lot on if I decide to buy into a new parnership but either way would...

Just curious (and fortunately we're only 1k into the engine...)... What do O-540 overhaul's run these days? We're planning for around $25 in the engine fund but one of my partners said he talked to a guy at the field the other day who just had his 182 done with the same engine and it ran twice...

Did a quick search through the first few pages and didn't see this show up... What a f'ing nightmare. If you are a student or thinking about it...get going now! http://www.avweb.com/avwebflash/news/FAA-Issues-New-Student-Pilot-Rules-225505-1.html

Wow. http://www.flyingmag.com/news/former-student-pilot-steals-plane-ride-over-vegas?src=related&con=outbrain&obref=obnetwork

...moving over to a new phone platform and interested in what folks consider their 'go to' aviation related applications are? Specifically looking for weather/metar and whatever else folks find interesting. Thanks in advance!

My Partners bought a Stratus 2 to use for the plane so I'm selling the one I bought to replace the Stratus 1 I sold about a month ago. It's been used and I'm not kidding - one time. I've got everything it came with - the dash pad still has the plastic on it (never been used) + the suction...

I flew a long XC for the first time with my Stratus 2 a few weekends ago and was not able to get a flat horizon with the HUD/synthetic vision with the Stratus suction cup mounted to my pilots side window. I had the LED's pointed to the back as others had suggested but the horizon was slanted...

Right now we've got a Garmin 300XL sycn'd up to our HSI. We'd like to upgrade but from what I can tell you can't buy 430W's anymore new. So, is the next step up a 650? I noticed on that 650 you can manipulate the transponder somehow? I'm assuming that it's just a box connected to an antenna...

...just got home from a long weekend in Lajitas, TX. It's down on the US/Mexico border just west of the Big Bend National Park area. http://www.lajitasgolfresort.com/ I took my wife, brother and sister-in-law for some R&R and KILLER golf. The Blackjack @ Lajitas Golf Course is pretty...

Hey Folks, Looking on the map and trying to figure out a good midway stopping point between Austin, TX (specifically KGTU) and New Orleans Lakefront. It looks the Beaumont area is the halfway point but never been over there so don't know much about the area. Ideally, would like to stop and...

Saw these on one of my favorite sites today...they are $30 cheaper there than if you buy them off their main site. Look pretty cool if you want...literally...the view that you 'see'. 1080p and can take a 32GB card and 1.5 hour recording time. Not bad for $135.00...

http://www.cnn.com/2015/01/30/travel/feat-delta-captain-lockout/index.html Can't say I've seen this one before. I love how this guy (and likely most of the passengers on the plane) are acting like both engines died and they are coasting it in. :lol:

I just got my Stratus 2 and probably won't be able to fly with it for another week or so. I bought the suction cup mount as well but after reading a passage in the including manual, I'm not sure I'll get optimal performance when using the HUD/Synthetic vision. "...For the most accurate AHRD...

Short video of some ground ops/takeoff with a few more first timers. Took a long time buddy of mine and his son (and my son) over to 11R for lunch today. Love having the GoPro looking back to capture the looks on their faces when thep lane leaves the ground. :yes: Anyone else who travels...

...took my bro-in-law on a sightseeing tour over downtown Austin, Lake Travis and the hill country and back tonight around sunset. Logged 1.3 hours and it cost me $35 at the pumps afterwards to put the plane back in the hangar full. We've had some crappy weather here the last couple...

Selling my Stratus 1 to upgrade to the Stratus 2. Pricing seems to be in the $300-350 range on fleaBay so I'll let it go at the right between at $325. Includes the RAM mount for the Stratus as well as the suction cup which by itself is ~$40. Is that reasonable? :dunno: Includes a new...
