As pilots, we manage risk, we don’t eliminate it. Pilots who eliminate risk will be found on their sofa, not at the airport.

Well, I wouldn’t personally buy cheap ones, but go nuts.

IMHO, electric bikes, or motorcycles, made this obsolete. No way it would have been worthwhile hauling gas and oil around in the cabin.

I checked in with a "Long-EZ Experimental" and was promptly deemed an "RV." I tried to correct him a couple times, but just got my clearance and landed. As I was rolling out, "NXX, what type IS that?" "Not an RV, sir!"

As a derivative of that earth-magnet Raptor, I assume NG = Nose Gardener?

I guess if your definition of interesting is “pointless wastes of energy and resources to prove well-known principles” then sure, I’ll happily concede to missing that point. Next, do a mountain propelled by solid rocket boosters.

This is a simple math problem. The laws of thermodynamics care not a whit how “neat” or “clever” an idea seems to someone. A fool and his money...

I guess you missed the part where he has an imminent engine failure (and maybe a fire on the way due to a presumed oil leak) and he agrees to fly a full pattern. His landing on the runway was pure luck (and he won’t last if he keeps relying on it). That was garbage decision making and ****...

What are you talking about? Tools?

CPR doesn’t involve mouth-to-mouth, anymore.

1) You’ll never do that again. I promise. 2) You now have an excellent interview answer when asked about a time you made a mistake, learned a lesson, etc.

Got it. Earlier attempt was 12V, 1.5A. No go. 12V, 2.5A did the job.

1.5A

Guy couldn’t pass his type. Training facility/check pilot: “Sorry, but you’re dangerously unqualified to fly this jet. You may crash.” Guy: immediately crashes plane and dies. Internet: completely stumped

I just can’t figure out why the generic DC adapter I’ve tried won’t do the trick.

hey, sell it to me when you find it! :D

with the garmin adapter?

Anyone successfully power their 300XL at home via a 13V adapter? I looked at the jack and the adapter garmin used to sell, and tried, but no joy. The unit works great in the plane. (yes, I know it’s an artifact from the olden days, but it’s paid for and it works- brand new database, too)!

Pic is all I have, at the moment. Figure someone must recognize it.

What the heck is that thing the red arrow is pointing at? Thanks!
