Does anyone know what's different about the "cabin size" of the original Cherokee 6 vs the 1969 and beyond variants? According to Wikipedia (never wrong?), starting in 1969 the plane had "increased cabin space" ... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piper_PA-32_Cherokee_Six I can't find more info...

Seems like half the time I've been to 24A, the SS fuel hasn't worked. So I suggest verifying ahead of trip, if possible. Also, the terrain around the airport doesn't look near as formidable once you're there ... people make it sound worse than it is. Very scenic area to fly.

I see a "Fuel Price" download option in Avare, and have installed it. But where does one go to view the fuel price for any given airport? Does it cover the whole US?

Just received this letter (see attachment) from EAA: "Dear Young Eagles volunteers: ... Beginning this month, EAA is introducing a Youth Protection Policy and Program that will involve all volunteers ... It will include online training and ... background check." Is this a solution in...

I think I may have found my cheapskate solution, if it works at all ... https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bbflight.flightinstruments#details-reviews

No, I don't have a FF/GP subscription ... because I'm a cheapskate, that's why I was looking for a cheapskate solution. I like Avare and Flt Plan Go, because they're free. I have not seen that either app has implemented an instrument display. Did I miss something?

Anyone have PIREPs for android apps that could provide some “flight instruments” for the backseater in a tandem aircraft (RV8), using the device’s INTERNAL sensors? Reliability/accuracy isn’t that big a deal, as long as it’s close … just something for backseater situational awareness while they...

There's a particular NTSB report I've been waiting on. The event happened almost 2 years ago. But it wasn't until very recently that the factual report came out, replacing the one paragraph preliminary report. Can I expect a probable cause report to come out next? Or do some investigations...

Tim, My wife and I just tent camped at Rough River St Park last Friday night, and ate breakfast at the lodge restaurant Saturday morning. I would recommend it. Fun place. The walk from the airstrip to the lodge is an easy 1/4 mile stroll. I've flown into Kentucky Dam St Park too, and have...

Anyone know of any B&Bs or cabins within walking distance of small airports in NH or VT?

Later this month I'm planning to take a Citabria or Decathalon out of the Salt Lake area and spend a (weekend) day sightseeing a bit, maybe up into Wyoming. It's always more fun to have a companion, so if someone nearby is interested, PM me. Looking at 26 or 27 September, probably.

Help me out you New England'er POH members .... My wife and I will be visiting Boston this fall for 4 days. On one of those days, my hope is to rent a plane at Beverly airport and spend the day flying up into the lower parts of New Hampshire and Vermont (Maine too?) for some aerial...

Thanks for the input everyone. I think the Citabria from KBED or a J-3 up at Hampton, NH will fit the bill perfectly.

Well yes I wasn't solely looking at FBOs, but really on any business listed on the Airnav web pages for these airport. My question is ... is there a better source than Airnav for finding info on the businesses that will rent aircraft at airports? For example, how would I find the info on the...

Thanks for the input gentlemen. My usual way of finding aircraft rental in other areas has been to go on the Airnav website for various airports in the area of interest and look for listings/websites for the FBOs and flight schools. That seems to be unfruitful for these particular Boston-area...

I'm hoping to visit the Boston area in the fall for 5 days, and thought it would be fun to rent a plane one day to do some flying up into NH/VT/ME. Does anyone know of any airports in the greater Boston area that have rental aircraft? I poked around the internet a bit but didn't find anything...
