    Tesla Pickup Unveil

    WOW, what has Nancy been smoking. My flight instructor worked for a major electric utility in our area. All he did was buy and sell, mainly buy electricity from other sources during the day to keep our grid up and running.

    How long would it power your house for? If you drain the battery in the car then you better have another vehicle or you are stuck.

    Tesla Pickup Unveil

    I bought her the mustang right before covid hit. It was for her she liked the color "but" also for me,LOL. It is a pp2 that has the track package not very practical to putt around town with 11" michellin cup2's all around. My plan was to get back to the track after many many years of absence.

    I wasn't referring to you Larry in my last statement. It's funny how some push so hard the virtues for EV's to the exclusion of all else. My wife should have an EV it would be the better choice, she usually just putts around town, she likes her mustang though.

    You sure like beating that dead horse. There are no facts against me. EV’s don’t work for me or in every situation. Why do you have such angst for that statement?

    Lets make Friday 'Joke Day'!

    In the old days we had a siren that went off and that alerted all the volunteers to go to the fire station. Now it just goes off at noon, you should see the people look around that are not from this town. They think its an air raid siren.

    I take it you are not a famer.... A EV pickup or tractor does not have the battery capacity to last long enough to do the work demanded of it, PERIOD. There is one prototype tractor that I have seen. It will only run for a couple of hours before a recharge which is quite lengthy. My 700 mile...

    Still stand by my comment that they currently can not and are not used in farming. On my current F150 driving highway speed not towing I can go over 700 miles before refueling, can’t do that in an EV.

    Aren’t all major transport trains electric but run diesel powered generators for the electricity. That’s true, unfortunately electric vehicles/tractors have no place at this time in a farming operation of any type.

    It will be quite awhile before you see any of these electric trucks being used by a farmer. They can’t tow for any distance or haul much of a load before needing a charge. Would be good for a city truck though that doesn’t haul anything but groceries

    How short is too short of a flight?

    My quick exercise flights usually last about 40 min with at least 20+min at 180. I figure that should be enough, plus I always open the dip stick for what that's worth if anything.

    How short is too short of a flight?

    Thanks, If i am just exercising my plane I fly until my temps reach 180, then head back to the field.

    How short is too short of a flight?

    I’ve heard the 1 hour time by many mechanic. I would think once your oil hits operating temp for a bit you would be fine. As long as your engine is running you are pumping more contaminants in. There is a point of demising return If you are out to exercise your plane.

    BasicMed changes in 2024 FAA Reauthorization Act

    Your pcp is your family doctor that you go to for all your medical needs. He knows or should know everything about you and have all your records. How can he know less than an aero medical doc doing a class 3 that only makes you pee in a cup and look at a chart and has no medical records of you...

    BasicMed changes in 2024 FAA Reauthorization Act

    True, but your PCP should be doing all the other things that are never done for a 3rd class medical if the physician is worth their weight in salt.

    BasicMed changes in 2024 FAA Reauthorization Act

    From the Third class medicals I have had they are NOT very complete and you are really an unknow from a medical perspective. If you go basic med with your primary care physician you will at least get blood work and routine check ups. Going 3rd class you pee in a cup and look at a color chart
