So I've been without my ADD meds since High School (I'm 29 now) and I'm currently flying under sport pilot rules. Recently I've been contemplating taking ADD meds again because I'm tired of having a mind that has 500 browser tabs open and I'm trying to view all the tabs at once...

http://whatsnext.blogs.cnn.com/2013/07/29/open-source-airplane-could-cost-just-15000/ Haven't seen this posted on PoA today. Honestly I'm skeptical of the $15k price tag. I think most ultralights cost more than $15k, and you can't get a decent homebuilt LSA aircraft for less than $40k...

So I'll be going out to the San Fran area with my girlfriend to visit her family, and one of the things we want to do is to rent an aircraft and fly around San Francisco, see the Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz, the coastline all from the seat of a LSA (I say LSA because I just love those sporty...

Anyone here does Sim Racing? I dabble in it once in awhile (NR2003, ARCA Sim, iRacing, etc.) But I never get good enough to be competitive. I guess it's just one of those things where you either have it, or you don't. However, I still enjoy the genre, I just move onto more arcade-y style...

So I looked at the Lycoming website last night, looking at their IO-233 engine option when I notice that they sell a Lycoming Kit engine, however I'm not finding any information on it. Has anyone ever ordered a Lycoming Kit Engine and what their experiences with it is?

I just finished the first day of a two day SportAir workshop & I gotta say, I LOVE IT! I'm having a lot of fun & I'm learning so much! I signed up for sheet metal basic & it's the most fun I had in a classroom since Movie days. Today I did a practice project to familiarize myself with the...

Memphis Belle Apparently she's at Rowan County Airport, NC (KRUQ) for interior work. First saw her on Wednesday, went back today to get pictures.

Does anyone know if there's a class being offered in North Carolina's Piedmont region on metal working and electronics? I know EAA has the SportAir Workshop, but they never seem to come to North Carolina, so I'm wondering if there's anyone outside of the EAA that's offering classes.

So a month ago I brought the Samsung Galaxy Tablet, which I love (it got Garmin Pilot, Sporty's E6B and my aircraft's Checklist and POH on it), however, I can't seem to find a kneeboard for the tablet. They all seem to be for the iPad only. Any Samsung Galaxy user ever find a kneeboard for...

So, has anyone else seen this amazing movie!? All I can say is that it's the perfect ending to The Dark Knight Trilogy. Also, can we please not talk about the shooting in Colorado? I'd like to talk about the movie in this thread, not the shooting, your corporation is appreciated.

So, I'm flying out of an un-towered field, and I want to take my dad to a nice fly-in restaurant about an hour away. I'm kinda used to getting flight following from the ground while talking to the tower at my previous airport. So I was wondering if I could call up FSS and get a squawk code...

So I did some pattern work today, and two interesting things happened. Number one, I saw how much smoke a house fire can produce, which is a lot. Circled the fire (while staying out of the smoke) to see that the porch and some of the roof was already gone. Also had to exit the pattern once...

As I've stated in the Flight Following section of the forum, I've been busy getting checked out in the Czech Sportcruiser, which is a fun aircraft to fly. However, I have had a small problem of landing the aircraft. The flight school like to do a no flap landing because from their reasoning...

So, I've been thinking about buying some plot of land for my business so I can expand it and start doing K-9 Training. Anyways, since hanger space is a premium in aviation and I don't like the idea of leaving any aircraft I own out on the tarmac, I was thinking about buying some "extra" land to...

I haven't really noticed this problem till I started flying the Sportcruiser (mainly because the Cherokees and Warriors I used to fly had good enough insulation.) but my hearing aid does not like my headset. I have a BAHA (Bone Anchored Hearing Aid) and every time I put on the head set I get a...

This is probably a stupid question, but I'm wondering if UL Power engines offer owner maintenance courses for their engine and to what extent? I know Rotax teaches everything from simple maintenance all the way up to overhauls, and I was just wondering if UL Power offer a similar program.

Today I went up in a Czech Sportcruiser (my first experience in a LSA), and I have to say that aircraft was fun! The first thing I noticed right off the bat was very good visibility. The bubble canopy allowed me to see in every direction except right behind me. The only downside with the...

So Garmin has released their "Garmin Pilot" App for the iPad, iPhone and Android Tablets, so I'm now in the market for an Android Tablet that'll be my EFB, and I was wondering what's a good Android Tablet?

If I buy a ready to fly ELSA (there are companies who do this), then maintenance wise, what can and can't I do legally? I do plan on getting the Repairman Certificate so that I can do the annual. However, outside of the annual, what can I do?

I was at the Sebring US Sport Pilot Expo, and there I saw a Cherokee 140 that was retrofitted with a glass panel, and honestly I just don't get it. I mean a certified glass panel system like the G500 is going to cost about $14k, and that's just for the system. I don't even want to think about...
