The Diamond is a nice cross-country machine. I have several hundred hours instructing in them. I don't think it's very good for primary training though. The plane handles like crap in turbulence and is very hard for a new pilot to control in hot conditions with thermals. Not to mention the...

Which FSDO?

SOLD

Cleaning out the closet and realized I should sell this bag as well. The bag in question is an ASA “Air Classics” compact pilot bag. I don’t think I really ever used this bag. Only bought it to store a backup headset. Enough room for a headset, charts, iPad and a kneeboard. Retails for nearly...

No kidding. Great bag, but it’s almost overwhelming with the the number of pockets. The build quality is phenomenal though. Bag itself weighs several pounds lol

SOLD Purchased this bag a few months back thinking that I would be doing a lot more IFR flying and would need space to bring all of my toys. Fast forward to now and I’ve decided to embark on my CFI journey instead. I love the bag, but I simply do not need this much real estate for my current...

I don’t think this is illegal. People trade planes all the time. You may have to draft a “bill of sale” for tax purposes and report it as bartering income, but other than that I see no issues. Good luck. Would be a great deal for someone who has an estate airplane and needs a new bathroom.

Hey all--I'm considering going back into training to finish my IR and CP certificates. Currently use a pair of David Clamps which I cannot stand wearing for more that 2 hours. If anyone has a nice pair of A20's or X's, please make me an offer either through the forum or through PM's. Don't...

I'm glad schools like UND are constantly purchasing new aircraft. Without large-scale training operations, the 172S or Archer III production lines would probably no longer exist.

Who says millennials don't like to fly? Girlfriend and I flew from WVI (Watsonville Municipal) to L52 (Oceano). Spent the day visiting Avila Beach, Pismo Beach and riding the airport rental bikes around the coast. Very fun! Doing some light reading while the A/P does all the hard work...

My parents paid for a large part of my PP cert when I was a senior in high school. I also did work a bit, and I'd say almost every pay check went towards flying as well. From my perspective, most of my friends are not at all interested in technical hobbies. Scratch that...most younger people...

Took a discovery flight 2 days after my 18th birthday, took the checkride when I was 19.

I'll keep my mouth shut. I guess we shouldn't go down this path again :D

Looks great!...but can someone round the edges on the white border?

The airplane has an electronic trim with a digital gauge. A bit tricky to find neutral trim because the gauge has a very coarse scale. The 2002 has a tendency to lift off when a small amount of back pressure is applied. I'd like to keep it on the ground until I get an appropriate amount of...

Low time PP here. Just got checked out in a Tecnam P2002 light sport the other day. Beautiful airplane with a great avionics set up--also handles like an absolute dream! One problem I forgot to address with my instructor was the nose wheel transmitting motion to the rudder pedals during the...

You have an excellent attitude towards your very trying situation. Enjoy the trip and I hope you get well soon. What are you flying?

At this point I think I'm near 110K. It seems like all the problems came at once when I hit 100K. Hopefully after I get past this rough patch things will work nicely for another 100K miles :wink2: Go to an independent Volvo mechanic! I paid around $550 for the timing belt kit and install...

I drive an '03 Volvo S60 2.4T. Really a neat car to drive and I always get complements on how new it looks, even though it's an '03. But... In the last year I've: Refurbished the ETM (car was stuck in limp mode due to potentiometer error) Replaced the right half-axle (started clunking)...
