Little over 20 years ago I got about 40 hours in an R22 working towards my helicopter commercial add on. Got sidetracked and didn’t finish. Randomly thinking about finishing that up for fun the other day and see the closest helo school has a H269C. For those in the know… @Velocity173 and...

I've been flying General Aviation for over 20 years and haven't made it west of the Rockies. Looking to change that in October. I have loosely planned out a flight to meet some of my wife's request on things she'd like to see. I know I am missing tons of "while you're out there" stuff but this...

Wonder how many hours of my life I’ve wasted on the phone, on hold or waiting for them to resolve an issue. Renewed my service at 8am. It’s 1150 and still nothing on their portal. “They will have to get back to me.” As expensive as they are, I would pay more to not deal with them ever again...

Welcome to the first plane/camp site in the north 40! :)

I know drive-by YouTube video postings annoy many people here. I was an active member here before buying my plane and filming our flights and remain active. I don't post my weekly videos but did want to share with those that are interested a contest that Lightspeed has agreed to arrange. The...

Most of us have always heard planes down in FL or other salt prone areas are more susceptible to corrosion. Both to the airframe and engines. Not sure if these past two oil reports confirm it or not but thought I would put them up here because I found it interesting. I've had some periods of...

Primarily based on hearing on this board how much getting your tailwheel improves your stick and rudder skills, I decided to finally knock that off the aviation bucket list. This is lesson 1 of a 20 year pilot that owns and primarily flies a twin. While I've had several rides in taildraggers...

Not discussing the merits of the hysteria surrounding this thing directly but I've read a few news reports lately that some events are being canceled because of it (to include talks about the upcoming Olympics, etc). Has anyone heard any issues with Sun n Fun this year? Was hoping to make it...

I've gone on a few aerobatic rides in the past 20 years. Starting with a Pitts S2B, an F16 ride, a P51 ride, formation acro in a T6, formation acro in an Extra 300 and in @EdFred 's Comanche around the pattern (maybe a couple others I missed). Somehow in all these flights and being around...

It happens from 17:13 - 18:58 to help skip the boring parts. I was thinking of the Cirrus guys here (@Tantalum , @PaulS , @SixPapaCharlie , @RudyP , etc) and all the chute talk here when I started to poke fun. Obviously was done tongue-in-cheek as the successful record/sales speaks for itself...

I was just editing a video where I was explaining my power setting, altitude, temp, etc and mention my TAS of 181 kts. I just pulled out the book and saw that I was exactly 1 kt greater than the book speed for conditions. We always hear about tired old planes not making near book numbers and...

I'm tired of my skin melting off in the summer whenever I have to park her on the ramp. I did a quick search on 310Q Sun Shades and it seems to be between Sun-Foil Aircraft Sunscreens ($360) and Bruce's Custom Covers Heat-shield Interior reflectors ($235). Does anyone have experience with...

I don't post most of my weekly videos here but I thought this one would be good for discussion and Jaime gives a shout out to POA's own @kayoh190 :) When I first bought the plane it had a fairly original 6 pack. The primary AI was vacuum driven and the autopilot ran off that. The back up was a...

Had started a thread to discuss used pricing on these. Figured I should move this here as I just listed it on eBay. I started it at $399. Comes with the tray. Worked great when it was removed as part of an avionics upgrade. I can throw a pencil or two on it if requested. :)...

Any guesses on what a well working/nice looking Garmin GMA340 would be worth?

Found some time between work, plane upgrades and life. Not the best conditions but half the fun is trying...

Just removed/looks new/about a year old/works perfectly thoughts?

We found this newly upgraded guy (@kayoh190 ) in Chicago on a roof top. Can someone hide my wallet for me??

I don't post all my weekly videos here to try not to be annoying but I thought this was pretty funny. You can jump right to 19:53 for 30 seconds to hear my 5 year olds explanation of turbulence. :) PS. @Velocity173, where do you fly EMS out of?
