    Homebuilt for tall pilot?

    RV-10 or RV-14, I might be biased though. Yeah C-172 was a little snug during training. I probably put two dents in it with the top of my head, one during some particular bad turbulence during an approach and the other when I bounced on landing.

    Van's RV Building

    RV-10 builder here, waiting on my wing kit. There have been a couple moments I wished I did a -12 instead mainly due to price and length of build time. Unfortunately most 4 place rentals I have available have gotten ridiculous in price and suck for capacity and performance.

    NA - Training a dog not to bark

    I know you don't want people recommending the shock collar, but I had a dog that the only thing that worked was the shock collar. Most dogs I trained, if they barked I could open the door and tell them no or yell no through the door after seeing it was something that I didn't want them barking...

    Where to build

    I am building in a 2/2.5 car garage. Due to other projects, kid's toys, a giant mill, etc. I current use about a 15'X5' space. Quite cramped, but doable for the tail section. As parts are completed I have to move them somewhere else for storage.

    Weaver, or isosceles?

    Without a vest, taking one in the chest front to back is supposed to have a better chance of survival than one that transverses the entire chest cavity (from one side to the other). Just what I was told by someone who main job was treating such wounds.

    BEEF ribs!

    My first attempt at any kind of rib. Usually I find them right next to all the other ribs, of course I don't look for them too often.

    Smoked ribs

    I've smoked them both and beef as well. I think some have mentioned they liked my St. Louis more due to more meat on the bone. 4 hrs smoked at 250, I prefer hickory, oak, or mesquite. Only use a dry rub, eater can choose to add sauce, a lot don't.

    PA 28 Student pilot 350 lbs

    I was probably over 300 pounds when I was asked by a coworker to sit in his 140 and help trouble shoot an issue he was having. I didn't step on the flaps, other than that seemed like a non issue. As far as flying it, as long as we could have gotten weigh and balance good, then go for it. I think...

    Practical Use Of The Pilot Personality Profile

    Hope this helps. (Attachment) Sorry I was in a rush, there is still a lot of formatting I could do to make it better, but should at least be readable.

    Practical Use Of The Pilot Personality Profile

    Yeah I might have to cut and paste that into word and format it just to be able to read it. From what I could read, seemed interesting.

    2020 airline pax travel with morons

    Three days from Colorado to New York by small airplane, I'd do that over flying commercial. Of course I would bump that to a couple 7 hour days of flying and make it in 2. Not sure what you guys find so tiring about flying general aviation, you should try driving that trip once. No days I try to...

    Windy.com as a route planner

    Will have to try Windy, I use it for weather. Some of the 10 day out stuff can be fairly accurate, of course I leave some flexibility in my plans. I also look ten days out, then recheck at five, and then two to see if there are any changes in the predictions. I like sky vector for route...

    You’re “oops” moment aviation?

    I turned down the radio 1 so I could hear and talk to a really quite person on radio 2, had to turn around and could not raise tower on radio 1. Spent some time circling outside of D before trying to figure out why I couldn't contact the tower, before I just tuned their freq into radio 2. I...

    Preflight and runup... every time?

    If the engine shuts down, I dip the tanks and do a full runup on restart. Depending on how long it sits and how long I flew before hand, I check the oil. If I have left the airport or its been more than an hour, full walk around. Usually I might do a quick walk around to make sure nothing fell...
