    Aviation License Plates

    Ha, nice! OK has aviation-themed plates and I decided to go vanity with ZROAGL on mine. I tried for 0 AGL, but it was either taken or perhaps OK doesn't allow for plate numbers to begin with 0.

    Air Fryer

    I have the Instant Vortex air fryer and it gets almost constant use in our house. It holds about double the amount of stuff that typical air fryers do, so I can make a round of chicken nuggets and tots at the same time. Speaking of nuggets, my favorite recipe is to cut up a pound of raw chicken...

    Vectored into smoke

    I 've never flown through smoke, but would assume that your sense of smell would be a factor. If you're flying through smoke from a grass fire, you'd likely be able to smell the difference between that and something like an electrical or engine fire pretty quickly.

    My [older] kids as STUDENT pilots in my personal C-172?

    It's likely a C-172 XP (coded as R172K), not an STC. I got a high performance sign-off in one that a local flight school had.

    Aviation Goals for 2022

    I'd like to get more flying in and possibly find a good non-equity partnership, as getting rental time locally is an absolute hurculean effort. I'd really like to get my instrument rating. Work-wise, I'm fairly burnt out with my career of the past 22 years (independent oil & gas land...

    BLM land

    Generally, you can land on BLM lands, but this being a "wilderness area," it appears off-limits to motorized vehicles and mechanical forms of transportation. The canonical resource for rules in any particular BLM area should be sought out from the Field Manager for said area, which you can...

    OSH 2021

    Warning. There were a couple issued, I believe. One was when the storm was due NW of OSH and the other was when storm was due west or SW of OSH, right over Ripon.

    Mazda complaint

    I'm the exact opposite. This is one feature I turn off immediately in any car I drive that happens to have it. Maybe this makes me a bona-fide "road jerk," but I tend to set my cruise about 5 mph or so over the speed limit on highways. If I'm coming up on someone with my cruise set @ 75 MPH -...

    New to PoA; Tips for first passenger?

    I think this is always good practice to predeclare with a first-timer, especially the "power changes." I make a point to brief first-time passengers that they will hear some different noises, beeps, as well as the change in power/engine sounds as I manipulate the controls in certain phases of...

    Removing "Echo" when Using Camera + External Audio Recorder

    Thanks again - I'll be giving one or both of these a shot!

    Removing "Echo" when Using Camera + External Audio Recorder

    Thank you! I'll appreciate any starting point. My other cameras are of non-GoPro branding, so I'll have to tinker with it regardless, I presume. I also agree with you on the ambient sound; it certainly adds a little character to the video. Silence is too stark for me, so omitting the ambient...

    Removing "Echo" when Using Camera + External Audio Recorder

    I appreciate everyone's input here and I'll tinker around with your ideas/suggestions. If all else fails, I may just go with the very first suggestion of removing the ambient sound altogether! To take a theme/voice from some of your recent YT videos, "have I got neeewwws for you!"...

    Removing "Echo" when Using Camera + External Audio Recorder

    Now that you mention this, it is EXACTLY my problem. I hadn't even thought about it until you stated it, but every single time I do a bang-up job of syncing, I end up scratching my head at how the audio is perfect at Point A and got out-of-sync at Point B. I know there's a whole audio editing...

    Removing "Echo" when Using Camera + External Audio Recorder

    I do use this method, but the PowerDirector multi-cam editor is absolute trash at picking this up and aligning the sound, so I always end up having to doing it manually. Furthermore, when using the multi-cam edit feature in PD, only one audio source is able to be selected for the ENTIRE edit...

    More on noise at GAI

    Same situation here. In addition to those items, I get more annoyed by kids screaming and squealing constantly while jumping on trampolines and frolicking in/around pools while I'm enjoying some patio time than I ever do with airplanes constantly overhead. This is very "get off my lawn" of me...

    Removing "Echo" when Using Camera + External Audio Recorder

    This is an extremely niche problem, but I can't find anything online that addresses this specific issue and I figured we have a few video "pros" on the board that might be able to help or share their processes. On the occasions that I record my flights (or flights with others, to share their...
