    Helicopter vs drone

    Hey Maint - Wheels chocked and brake set?

    Because cars run through fences everyday and there is nothing sensational about it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Alaska couple committed suicide by plane, investigators say

    Because of privacy laws, we don't release detailed versions of traffic collision reports to anybody except interested parties such as those actually involved in the crash, vehicle owners, insurance companies, etc. The information released to the public is very watered down.

    Shopping for a C-180 on floats

    Any recommendations for a knowledgeable A&P near St Cloud, MN? He has his eye on one there and wants to get it checked out. I told him to join here and post the same question which he did a week ago. He said there were no replies but it's entirely possible he posted it in the wrong place...

    Yep, I misread that. Thanks for the clarification. I'll pass that on to him. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Shopping for a C-180 on floats

    Posting for a friend in Alaska looking for a 180 on floats. He is probably open to looking anywhere and everywhere and traveling to look at the right plane. I suggested using a broker to assist him, but I really don't know much about that process. What are the suggestions? Sent from my...

    That Guy...

    I hate that. I'll usually put my truck about 1/16" from their car and flip the switch to turn my high idle on. It revs up to 1200 RPM and gets kind of loud. It creates a bit of urgency that they usually respond to. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    N/A Max towing without trailer brakes

    A stop I made several years ago on a truck pulling a monster toy hauler RV ended up being discussed on a RV Internet forum. I wrote a fix-it ticket to the driver for a driver's license violation. We also discussed weights and other topics because of the large tow vehicle he was driving. As you...

    N/A Max towing without trailer brakes

    No such thing as a CA vehicle code section that specifically prohibits exceeding the vehicle's GVWR. That could be a civil issue if something happens. The expensive weight ticket in CA is exceeding the vehicle's DECLARED GVWR but that doesn't apply to RVs (4000.6 VC). I've never heard of an RV...

    N/A Max towing without trailer brakes

    http://drivinglaws.aaa.com/tag/trailer-brakes/ Not having brakes when they are required or having poorly maintained or adjusted brakes could potentially open you up to some major civil and/or criminal liability issues if a collision occurs. I've provided testimony in court on this very topic...

    Engine failure

    I think the OP should land perpendicular to the road. Might be possible on a 5 lane freeway. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    [N/A] Police as Security at Local Stores

    That sounds really strange. I suspect the off duty officers are actually employees of a private security company. Naturally, they would be allowed to be armed security. Around here, if a private entity needs to hire uniformed officers they contract with the law enforcement agency, not the...

    S-97

    That's how my little RC helicopter worked. Two fixed pitch counter rotating rotors on top and no tail rotor. It was very maneuverable until I flew it into a lake. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    [N/A] Police as Security at Local Stores

    I've known of a couple LE officers that moonlight as security for a casino. At their second job they are acting as employees of the casino in plain clothes. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    (N/A) Adventure Sport motorcycle

    At one time I had a BMW RT and a Suzuki DRZ 400 that was street legal, but set up primarily for off road. Motorcycles are definitely like airplanes. No one motorcycle can do it all. My father in law recently test rode a new RT. He will most likely buy it based on his raving review if it...
