I have 2 pairs of these headsets. Barely used, both in great condition. Each one will come with both the child size headband and the adult ones. $100 each.

On a separate thread there was discussion about oil analysis where some posters, including I, commented on repeatability of results, detection limits, and other quality assurance/control questions. What I am proposing has nothing directly to do with the usefulness of oil analysis, that’s a...

My altitude hold button is getting a little bit hard to engage. Sometimes I have to push it harder or a few times to get it to engage. Is there any way to open it up and clean it, if that’s a fix? I hesitate to hose it down from the outside with contact cleaner (plastic safe version), lol...

Assuming that crop dusters get put away for the season, is there a winterization process, particularly for piston planes? Just wondering what pros do to their money-making equipment for winter storage up north.

My panel is open for an engine monitor installation. I’m going to be removing the existing straight bulkhead connector for oil pressure off of the firewall and replacing it with tee bulkhead connector. I found this oil pressure switch. I don’t think it goes to anything. I don’t have an oil...

My 92 year old hangar neighbor has a G35. His engine runs rough from about 1300-1800 rpm. He says it feels like it’s going to shake itself apart. Mag check is fine, no difference. Idles fine, clears up fine at higher rpm. No induction leaks. I only know automotive carbs. Some have an...

2 Crazed Pilot in-ear headsets. Both come with case and additional silicone and foam ear pieces. $150 each, you pay shipping -or- $300 shipped free in lower 48 for both (to save me an extra trip and messing around).

Planning a late September trip to AZ, NM, and TX. Target is a friend’s wedding in Sedona, and visiting friends & relatives in southeastern NM (KATS), and a bunch of Texas stops (San Antonio, College Station, Houston, Dallas, and Longview). Not sure if we should do the wedding first with a long...

Threads and videos about Vision Jets, TBMs, PC12s, etc got me wondering since I can’t afford sole ownership - what’s the fastest or most capable airplane that you’ve heard of in a partnership or club arrangement? I’m not talking about stuff like NetJets, just owner flown airplanes. Is this...

@Jim K - Did you ever get this kind of treatment when you recently landed at “rustic” Campbell field? It was a surprise from gentleman @Racerx Thank you sir!! …I flew my mom up there to see my son who was doing a vintage show at the fairgrounds (shameless plug for PhartClothes.com). She...

Alrighty…well my love of racing has been rekindled, with this spring being a crew chief on a go kart team and finishing well. Plus some of these threads about road racing, some acquaintances running Camaro/Mustang events, and a daily driver that’s getting older. What do you guys recommend for...

KLAF Lafayette, Indiana to KMKY Marco Island, Florida Leaving probably Sunday. I might have a tail wind, probably 3 legs, 2 stops. First stop possibly KCHA Chattanooga. I’ve read good reviews about the FBO. My route would have me direct over ATL, so I’ll skirt west, aiming to hit Florida...

I get bummed when I learn of the passing of my favorite band members or singers, and I usually find out about it here so I figured I’d make a happy post about one that’s still around and rocks. Let’s appreciate this 70+ year old rocker...enjoy!

1- I have no idea how this works, so if any of you do, I’d appreciate an explanation. Maybe it’s all by car/truck. 2- If you have any connections, suggestions, or otherwise, I can pass them to the family. This is one of the 7-Eleven shooting victims. He was my wife’s cousin’s son...

Going to visit for a week. I was wondering if there was a way to get some aerial sightseeing and put some UK time in my logbook?

Approaching from the South (Indiana). What’s the best way, instrument flight plan, vfr flight following, or shut-up & stay under the Bravo? I was thinking I’d be vectored for an hour if I went in IFR. Was considering PWK also. We have relatives coming in to O’Hare on the airlines and staying...

f*** you. And I mean it personally.

I’m working on my commercial training. We’ve flown a couple hours doing various manner of stalls and slow flight. I have “one o’ dem canards” in a 182 so we end up with some “impressive” deck angles The last flight, the vac pump low vac light flickered while on the ground taxiing back after...

I’m working on my CPL. Question: how many hours did it take you to nail the maneuvers? How many total hours of experience did you have before you started CPL training? Written is done. I had all the prerequisite hours, except complex/TAA, which I’ll finish the last 1.3 hrs Monday (in a...
