    Crossing into the US from Canada with an explosive device.

    That’s exactly why the intermediate company in the US exists and is charging $4000 extra for. Im interested in figuring out what the permit process is and if it’s worth doing it myself. Driving there to pick it up is not a problem. If all I need is a use permit from the ATF when I cross the...

    Crossing into the US from Canada with an explosive device.

    Hi, I got a quote back for repacking a ballistic parachute and it’s $6000 vs $2000 reported by an owner in Canada. The difference in Canada is you deal directly with the manufacturer, but in the US you deal with a third party representative. Does anyone have any information on what is...

    Looking for Sport DPE in Colorado

    All the DPEs when I did my license were “able” to do it according to the FAA website, but from what I know none of them were willing. So they had to fly down a DPE from a neighboring state that was able and willing.

    How many electric motors can an airframe have under MOSAIC?

    I’m curious if something with inline thrust will require a multi license. I know now that that Cessna airplane does require but maybe things will change in that regard.

    Honestly curious…

    I owned a Sonex and regularly got it up to 150mph (at altitude) with a Jabiru 3300. My fastest ground speed was 208mph.

    Pipistrel Alpha downsides?

    I bought it and flew it home. Mine has a three bladed prop and I'm only getting 80-85 indicated. Not sure if that has to do with prop. Also missing the speed tape on most seams but I doubt that makes for 15-20 knots difference from videos I've seen cruising at 100 knots at 5300 rpm. Also mine...

    No new Insurance policies until after the hurricane?

    Hey, I’m in the process of buying a plane in California and was supposed to go fly it home this weekend but I heard back from my broker that IAT was not signing policies due to hurricane IAN. He also said it would be unlikely to get any coverage prior to the weekend.

    Pipistrel Alpha downsides?

    Definitely a little weird at the price they are selling it at. The reason they gave me was they sell and buy new planes at 1200-1300 hours. I’m about to commit to buy and planning to fly it from Sacramento to Atlanta this weekend and into next week. I spoke with a 3rd party mechanic who worked...

    Pipistrel Alpha downsides?

    https://www.barnstormers.com/classified-1769661-2018-Pipistrel-Alpha-Trainer.html This seems like a great deal. I have flown one but not maintained one. Is there anything I should know? This plane was sold from a light school 1-2 years ago because they had problems maintaining it (reason...
