He's up to 40% scale. http://www.cnn.com/videos/us/2015/12/21/orig-wingboard-airplane-extreme-sport-future-of-adventure.cnn/video/playlists/future-of-adventure/ I thought it would be pretty unstable with the center of mass that far above the center of lift without a lot of dihedral like...

I like my whisky like I like my women... 16 yrs old and all mixed up in coke. Actually, no. Neat. :D Favorite whisky per unit dollar right now is Glenmorangie Quinta Ruban. Glenmo La Santa is way up there too. Best non-peated single malts in the $50 range IMHO. For a reasonable peated...

I've mentioned this in a couple threads so I figured I'd throw it out to the MC... The idea is to establish sub-forums for local areas and/or airports. Perhaps by request. Those forums could be used to discuss local happenings also... airport construction...

Does anyone else's bank lock their bank account when traveling on a long cross country in a personal plane - usually to another state? I'm with Wells Fargo and this has happened to me many times when I forget to notify the bank of my travel plans. For some reason this almost never happens when...

Saw this in AvWebFlash this morning... http://www.avweb.com/avwebflash/news/Lightspeed-Unveils-Wireless-Headset-225186-1.html http://www.chiefaircraft.com/ls-tango.html The description says: So to me, the big benefit would be connecting 6 of these and eliminating all those cords. Then again...

My avionics shop recently enabled output from my 1090ES transponder. I want to validate that it is working. I located my Mode S code and was able to find my flight path in FlightRadar24 (good-bye, anonymity :-/ ) but I don't know if that data was created by radar sweeps or by ADS-B output of...

The rear air vents on my 182 are old and leaky (and the tubing is pretty rotten). These are the rectangular style vents that rotate and also have vanes. I have searched for these things on google and can't even find an image of them. I don't have a pic right now either but I may get out to the...

Anyone try this? I just ordered one and then I saw Paul B's review of it this morning on AvWeb. Figured I'd ask if anyone has any PIREPs on it. Some of the things Bose does just make no sense to me at all. Why no Bluetooth Quiet Comfort for example... ??? And why the hell did they leave full...

I'm heading there soon. I tried calling them but got no answer. Few comments on ForeFlight. Has anyone been to this airport and can provide some info... I've heard I need to bring tie-down straps or ropes... true? Is 100LL self-serve only? What else do I need to know? TIA!

Any show stopper defects? Anything you especially like? I've been curious about the side-by-side feature. Anyway.. PIREPs?

I know this is probably not a big deal, but I haven't done it. My mechanic does this every year at annual, of course. How do I take the rear seats out of a C182? Do I need to remove the front seats first and if so, how? What are the legalities related to flying with the rear bench out? I...

So this WSJ piece on the use of TBS at Heathrow suggests that it has worked in tests and will soon be rolled out across Europe. Apparently it has helped on days with high headwinds by allowing planes to get closer together due to their lower groundspeeds, thereby keeping their landing times...

iPad Pro - 12.9" display and supposedly really fast. That is a mighty big display on the iPad Pro. It might be nice as a laptop replacement but it is actually too big to use in the airplane - at least on the yoke as I currently use the regular iPad Air. That means it can't pull double duty as...

I have a TR182 and it rocks balls for mountain flying. I could climb high and ignore the rocks below but I'm trying to practice flying *in* the mountains and not just sky over them as if they weren't there. I'm still going to use the advantages of the turbo in spots but I intend to fly via...

I have been using the ASA FAR/AIM but its search feature is terrible and I've come to realize that I can't trust it to find things I search for.** I recently tried another one called PilotFAR / AIM that has a much better search feature and got great reviews for years but lately it gets terrible...

Just remembered something a C172 owner once mentioned that an instructor demonstrated to him in his plane. I owned a 172 at one time but I don't think I ever tried this. As best I recall, he said you could trim the 172 for, say, a 70 knot stabilized short final, with full flaps, and just...

I want to feed ADS-B "in" goodies from the 987 UAT band to my GTN-750. I will have a separate solution for the "out" stuff. I've been tuned out of the developments in this area of avionics - what are the options?

I will soon have a 1090ES ADS-B "out" transponder installed and coupled to a GTN-750. So that will put TIS-A traffic on the GTN-750, but... In order to receive all the ADS-B "goodies" like FIS-B (wx, radar, etc) and TIS-B (traffic) on the GTN-750 I need to install a 987 UAT "in" only box in the...
