Radios should absolutely be used in the interest of safety. Seems like a no brainer.

My 1963 172D manual says to fill the nose to 26 psi and the mains to 23 psi. (6x6 4 ply was standard for the mains). Question: I've just bought this plane and replaced the mains with Michelin Condor 6x6 4 ply tires. The tire pressure rating is for 29 psi... Is there any reason NOT to go to 29...

I'm a VFR pilot in the process of buying a 172D. The panel has an Air Gizmo with an iFly 720. I've always used and am comfortable with Garmin Pilot (with ADSB in / will remain on the yoke). But I'm curious, how is the iFly? Anyone use it as a primary planning tool? Thx for any input.

Certainly. Of course. Naturally. Without a doubt, etc, etc...

How's the Tail beacon working for you so far? Where in PA did you get it installed? thx

Did you get the Sundowner landings under control? Why such a challenge?

I thought this was an interesting video on ”tight turns.”

I re-read the thread (Beech Aero Club) and it appears one individual (not two) needed a new Tailbeacon unit. He also said Uavionix was extremely responsive and he had a new unit two days later. I would think if this were more widespread we'd also be reading of it elsewhere. I just don't like...

I've been reading that several uavionix owners are seeing water condensation buildup and there's no hole for the water to drain so it starts to fill up. Not sure if it's been impacting the signal but I do know of two (another forum) that needed to have their units replaced. Not trying to be...

How big is the biggest guy you know that might occupy that seat?

Thanks everyone for your thoughts on the Coyote. Thought I wanted to go light sport but I've decided it's just too light for what I'm really after. I've since moved moved on and after jumping around a bit I am now considering a Cardinal. Big change for sure but I've already had two 172's. I do...

I did that in a 172 ONCE! It was very ugly. :eek:

Hey all, I'm a 172 guy considering a 2008 Rans Coyote (100 hp). I love what I read on paper but cant seem to find one in my area to get a closer look. How does this bird handle? Is she capable in moderate winds? I'm not a hard backcountry flyer by any means but love grass strips! Any pros or...
