Can you elaborate?

Super old thread. Probably newer threads that I'll search out but this happened to the first I saw. Most of the content flew by at an flight level above my operating levels, but some what similar to a few of the posts, I'd like to ask how possible it would be to get good transmit and reception...

As others mentioned, that's entirely true. The entire marketing campaign has been to young "professionals", that are non-pilots, often work on wall-street or in that type of environment, and still think they have the world by the balls. No aviation reports, test flights or exposure. But...

Couple items to share - If you look here you'll see Tyrone Finch listed as a Sales Director - like most of their other "owners". https://www.zoominfo.com/pic/icon-aircraft-inc/133366830 In February he was flying N663BA, which is serial number 004. Don't know what aircraft was involved in this...

Anyone got a way with their G3X Touch? :) On the older non-touch Garmin units you could change the splash screen with a custom image of your choosing : ***** 34.8 GDU Splash Screen Users can create a custom splash screen (displayed during power up) by storing a bitmap file on the root...

Mid size Mixed use airports are harder then pure small GA fields, at least in my area due to the jet traffic that is always on straight in approaches. Two instances related to radio use, one old, one recent. - as a kid I flew down to an uncontrolled field in central MA, and announced my...

On the TFR topic, with courteous explanations and filing of a NASA form often all is good in the world again. Case in point. Friend of mine happened to turn the corner in the Hudson River that faced West Point while flying back from Florida. Typically wouldn't have been an issue but it was a...

Depending on the true mission - most 4 place aircraft are 3 place useful load but rarely do you find 3 people that want to fly - we had a 1500' grass strip behind the barn and a Lark (Aero Commander's version of a 172) and later a Musketeer. Both worked great. Strip was one-way, but there...

All you ladies that fly commercial, let's be careful up there. Lol, warped attraction is not limited to the ground. https://www.cadc.uscourts.gov/internet/opinions.nsf/B6E502C91060629D85257FCE005254B7/$file/13-1222-1618604.pdf

This is solid info that should not be overlooked. High stress or high saturation, if it gets busy don't worry about providing long drawn out explanations. Short and concise is all you need. And if you don't believe me, go listen to Sully's replies before setting down in the Hudson River...

Based upon eyewitness reports quoted in Kathryn's report, sounds like ran out of fuel, which may have led to a stall/spin-in. As a low time pilot (certified in 2014) it sounds like she accepts the controller's question of "runway 35, can you accept that?" as a statement rather than consider the...

I flew the Sundowner predecessor (Musketeer w/ 180hp) for a long time, and both of those Sundowners above seem to be very a good value. Full fuel you won't want to be hauling 4 adults, and watch your density altitude, but it's as good as any other "4-place" aircraft, and I prefer it over the...

....from the homebuilt arena....

The Icon killer existed long before Icon came to market. Two guys and full fuel and still flys great under $150k. http://searey.com Fits the yacht with ease.

And the house begins to crumble. Could have written this a few years ago. http://www.forbes.com/sites/christinenegroni/2016/05/26/icons-new-plane-caught-in-storm-of-its-own-creation/#66a19e65241b

Exactly right @Acrodustertoo Lol. With a PR release like that, I wonder how bad it really is in the production line. - We can't dial in quality or production - quick, layoff employees. - We are only going to build 20 instead of 175.... Or only 11% of projected...and we will use some or...

I got my PPL in a '69 B23 Musketeer, in addition the following 150 hrs or more. 180 hp Lycoming, and aside from not liking auto gas it was a great airplane. Single door, nice control feel, pedals are spring loaded to airlerons. I'd buy another one without question. The 115 cruise sounds right...

On a side note, it seems that fast company (whoever they are) and a photog guy on facebook and Instagram seem to be bought marketing agents for the company. They continually spew propaganda and respost photos from the "NYC event" on how fabulous the A5 is. Don't they realize that buyers aren't...
