When selling a plane that is going to be paid for with a certified check, what (if anything) does one need to do to verify that the check is legitimate? Thanks. -- Mike

The Maule has been sold.

Nick, thanks for inventing the ConUS Challenge. What a good idea! Thank You! Chip, thanks for the super web site. There are things on the web site that I have never seen on any web site. You always gave timely responses throughout the seventeen months. Thank You! Chip and Nick, I’m sure...

Spike's Grandmother-In-Law will be on the Barbara Walters' Show! This Centenarian has already been to New York, and the show's film has been made. The only thing left to do is schedule when the film will be shown. It is my understanding that Barbara interviewed five folks for an upcoming...

The problem is that the tower hears a squeal when I transmit (either radio). So far I've cleaned the battery ground, pulled both radios and cleaned the contacts. I've listened on my hand held while a friend transmitted while switching the alternator on and off, no change in the squeal...

The local newspaper published this in the "Letters to the Editor" section. "Please also consider turning off daytime running lights (DRLs) on automobiles. Estimates of increased fuel usage because of DRLs range from 0.5 to 3 percent...." I know this isn't much of an increase, but could this...

Check out, in the picture of the billboard below, what the daughter of a friend of mine gave him for Father's Day! May 12th was the 50th anniversary of his first solo flight as a Marine aviator at Saufley Field (near NAS Pensacola). Bill Humbert went on to fly C-130s and rotary wing aircraft...

Is there a list somewhere of all the attendees for the 2007 fly-in? Thanks. - Mike

Fifteen or twenty years ago, I noted thirty or more old Polish crop dusters at the Americus, GA airport. Although they looked tired, I figured that I could cannibalize the fleet and put one flyable one together. I also figured that it wouldn't cost too much as it was apparent that they were...

If my cell phone "dies", can I purchase a new phone and have it programed for my carrier and my number without my carrier knowing about it? I have a plan with lots of minutes that is no longer offered. My carrier says that I can purchase a new phone from them, but I will have to join a new...

The elevator gap seals on my Maule have started to crack. How do I get the old ones off, and how do I install the new ones (under an A&P's supervision, of course)? Thanks. - Mike

Well, I got a shock this morning when I went to the airport to renew the badge which gets me through the gate to my T-hangar. I was given a paper with three lists of IDs. The first list had IDs that would by themselves prove I was not a security risk. A current or expired passport was one of the...

What do you think would happen if I wore my running shoes, that you can clearly see "gel" thru clear plastic in the heel? The name of the shoe includes the word "gel". I have another pair which are called "HydraFlow", where the liquid can be seen through clear plastic in the heel. I guess I...

I thought this was an interesting presentation.

I would like to post on: http://www.gastonsflyin.com/2006_attendance.asp but can't break the code. I registered, but the only screen that comes up is the screen that tells when you are arriving (which I filled out thinking a second page would appear). How do you add to the attendance list...

Are there any last minute cancellations? I am toying with going. -- Mike

What method (FSS, Duats...) do you use to file? Is there an advantage to using your method? -- Mike

Who is currently flying a Maule? Which model? What state or airfield is home? Happy Landings! -- Mike
