Several flights ago I began getting occasional popping sounds from my intercom. Last flight there were constant popping noises that blocks conversation between headsets. I had to turn off the intercom, and the radio transmissions were fine. I tried it several times throughout a one hour flight...

My I/A wants me to find the STC allowing this horn to be installed on my C170. Any tips on where to look? “richter aero equipment essex ny super venturi”

Took off out of Memphis, everything seemed fine until I had an engine fire on the right engine. Put out the fire and decided lets call it a day. Asked for vectors back to airport. Then my EADI went black, had to fly it composite view on the EHSI. After landing single engine, I decided to restart...

Any controllers on this board? I’m curious about what size and brand y’all use. Do some bring their own personal?

Pole time.

It’s my assumption that the Phenom 300e is a single pilot certificated plane. Some of the big fractional 135 companies use them alot. They have a way to require an SIC, but is SIC time in this aircraft valuable? Three year minimum before changing models. 7 years average to upgrade to captain...

And it amazingly still works today:

Friends, adventures, meeting new people, and flying of course. Gary is one of the men in the video who owned N1981C and was instrumental in its restoration years ago. He flew the plane alot and even competed in an air race with it based on some old internet posts I found. I have thought about...

I haven’t looked in a while, but do people still use Boat Trader? Craigslist? I need to sell my El Pescador 24’ boat since I’m not using it much. Any tips would be appreciated. thanks, Mark

I’m both happy and sad. Bank account is taking a hit. 1200 hrs smoh in 2005. Was hoping it would last longer, but she was making metal. I am excited to break her in and get that warm fuzzy feeling flying behind a fresh ICE. Airworx Aircraft in AL is doing the engine work for me. Certified rebuild.

What are y’all using? I bought a Milwaukee Inspection Camera to look down an spark plug hole and was disappointed. Cannot manually adjust anything but the led lights. Would be nice to manually focus and change zoom. The mirror attachment was useless. Resolution was poor as well. Probably will...

I’ve been running 100LL, but could save a little $ if I used ethanol free mogas from a nearby gas station. High wing, mogas stc, and burn rate 7GPH. I don’t want to carry 5gal cans and fill from a ladder. Ideally I would have a steel tank in the bed of my truck, a hose, and electric pump. I’m...

Are these things any good? When did they come out? I assume this model was replaced by the GDL 50. Someone gave me one with a bad battery and no 12V cord. Battery and cigarette 12V adapter is going to run about $170. Not sure if I really want to spend that much on old tech. Also, could use it...

Post something you can do now that you couldn’t do 5 yrs ago. I got an old weed wacker running that 5yrs ago I’d given up on. Feeling like I’m Rain Man right now.

I’m thinking you could have the beard as long as you shaved a reverse goatee. Mask still works, and you get to keep the beard.

Anyone going to reklaaaawwww???

Post the company you use and how often you do it, please. I haven’t been sending off oil samples on my O-300, but may start having it done. Or at least every 100 hrs. Thanks!

I don’t mean a personal 777, but what is your dream plane to own one day that you actually could afford. Or could afford if you made a little more money. Or could if your uncle left you a few C notes. Mine is the Cessna 195. I think if I made a little more, or got a wild enough of a hair, then...
