Doing a gender reveal flyby with a pink or blue powder. I'll maintain at least 600 feet above ground, so I don't violate any rules. The house with the party sits on a 20 acre lot, but I doubt the powder will even make it to the ground. I'm debating on which method to use. Idea from 1. Put...

I had a question regarding building cross country hours. I know I must do a landing 50nm away. But can anyone tell me if the following scenario will count as a cross country towards the instrument rating. The destination airport is 55nm away. Due to class bravo restrictions, one possible route...

So I've been looking into recording my flights and my favorite view when watching videos online is camera in the center showing the avionics and the front view, and majority of them say they're shooting at 1080p with 30fps and also using a nd filter, which lessens the light that enters the...

Hi Everyone, I could really use your help in finding a camera mount that I can put just between our heads in a C172SP, so that it'll my kneepad, the avionics and the front view. I can't use a bar behind the seats, because the C172SP seat belts extend from the center blocking the view. The...
