so if I understand correctly, even if his bladders are fine, the overflow has washed away the tape's mastic...likely leaving his bladders unprotected from abrasion.

@jnmeade ..... since there's not a lot of experimental discussion here at POA, and especially it seems for Ran's I'm wondering if you've come across any other forum/discussion sites that are active for Ran's types and builders? Seems like the factory one is not active, nor is the facebook group...

I'd imagine a real chamber ride like I did years ago is even better in some ways. Looks like they might still have that in the program too.... https://www.faa.gov/pilots/training/airman_education/aerospace_physiology Oh I misread in my quick glances....maybe this is only at OKC. I thought I...

good point....a paradigm shift there....

I should have added my choice.... Astore for the same reasons. My mission is more xcountry

Yeah, I've been out of the system for a while and had no idea..... Was just trying to think of back-up solutions for the system that maybe be cheaper and easier than maintaining a vast network of big ol' outdated VOR/DME stations. I still contend that they should build a network of very...

If I recall, it was a choice between the two types, correct? so which would you choose and why? edit: maybe assume ICON hadn't gone belly up, because that probably sways the choice for most folks.....

I'm reminded of a T-Shirt I saw once.... "I used to be a people person, but then they ruined it." Seriously though, I almost posted in the recent Rough River Thread yesterday.... I seriously would like to join ya'll some day. For me the biggest reason why not, is that I'm not actively flying...

How prevalent is PAR these days? Enough to be considered an emergency back-up?

Thanks! I tend to spend a lot of time up front researching... that's where I am now. Trying to do a fairly deep dive into understanding the model to help me decide which aircraft I'd like to build. A long time ago, I found through a not-aviation topic, that discussion forums like POA can be...

No delay...don't lollygag, if you can't roll NOW then don't cross that line. and the taxi at a brisk walk pace.... nobody really seems to know what that means....pretty much nobody. I reckon I've only seen it done by some really small stuff on very much unimproved grass strips.....oh and there...

agreed about the airshow. I do enjoy watching parts of it.... Hard not to like a fast mover coming overhead low in afterburner...or other interesting/different acts. I'll sometimes head back to my motorhome in the campground and enjoy the thunderbirds (or blues) from a perspective other than...

Do you NEED ANR? No, most certainly. Assuming you're flying a typical trainer..... Myself and many thousands of others trained and flew millions of hours with passive headsets. Now I would not suggest that anyone step back to what folks before my time did.... no headset at all. Hearing is too...

I'm with Chris in post #2. I like them both, so flip a coin Question, what's with the flags? I can't see them well enough to see what flags they are...State flags I assume, so States visited? Ho sorry, I see you are UK, so probably countries visited..... nice!

I think my biggest questions at this point 1) What is NOT included in the kit?.... I understand most kits don't include paint, avionics, and sometimes engine...but some do. I was looking at Sling at Sun N Fun and their kit pretty much can cover pretty much everything I think but paint. That of...

I would have assumed they had the "come home" button somewhere on their joy-stick..... loose control, and one push to toggle the computer to go wings level and come home.....

I'm just looking for experience with Rans kits in general and I'm most curious about their S-21 Outbound and their S-7 Courier, or maybe their S-20 Raven I was really hoping to have a look at them at Sun N Fun, but sadly they weren't there...and I didn't spot any on the field. Interestingly...

We thought we had our old house sold when we bought our current house, then the deal fell through about the same time as the market tanked.... we ended up renting it out for a few years. The best thing I did - after a time trying to manage everything myself and self-repairing most anything that...

now that's funny right there.... I can think of a sort-of passable reason beyond costume.... and I know not much about how these guys operate.... but I assume they are sitting in a cockpit simulator-type set-up probably for hours at a time...an environment that is similar in some ways to a...

I too have always been envious of folks that could play a "sing along" type instrument. I learned trumpet as a kid... that ain't one of them! started to teach myself fiddle years ago, but every time I pulled it out my wife would ask "do you have to play that now?" Yeah I know it wasn't great...
