Good one, boomer. That was a sick Henry Ford burn.

The money you would potentially waste trying to resurrect an antique piece of electronics would be well spent on a Stratus and the tablet of your choice with Foreflight. And congratulations on the new plane. That's really a fantastic looking Arrow.

ADS-B provides lightning data.

I purchased a T206 last year and selected SVT, TAS, and XM. If you purchase SVT, TAWS benefits are only incremental. XM feels redundant with ADS-B weather and not worth the cost in my opinion. I did not purchase factory AC because of the cost and useful load hit, but now during the hottest...

The A/C option from Cessna is an STC from Kelly Aerospace installed at the factory post airworthiness. You could call Kelly Aerospace and ask what the aftermarket install would cost. ThermaCool lists aftermarket install costs at a little less than $30k, so you might potentially be able to save a...

Window mount with the Ram double suction cup base has worked well for me. Occasionally the suction cups have to be reattached at high altitudes and low OATs, but otherwise the setup is trouble free.

Indy Center gets my vote for best ARTCC. Always courteous and professional.

Totally agree. I’ve owned or been a partner in 3 HP singles, a Columbia 350, SR22, and a T206. The SR22 is the easiest to fly.

The left side of the battery is generally where the hottest electrons accumulate and therefore requires the most cooling. In all seriousness, I think the end goal is to increase air circulation behind the baffles to keep the ambient temps that the battery sees a little lower.

Battery cooling. My DA40 had a vent line like that that went from the cowl to the battery box.

What, you’ve never had your like head shocked?

If E-bikes convince more people to get out and ride or commute to work via bicycle, they can have my Strava KOMs.

It’s frightening how many people have personal experience with this.

Totally agree. It may take some effort, but if you were to allot enough of that time to recurrent training, do some sim work, and are dedicated to building your knowledge of your aircraft and aviation in general, 5 hours a month would be fine.

For this demographic, cost and convenience are all secondary to the ability to show off your personal jet. NetJets is for the poors.

Agree, if you are otherwise healthy and don’t have a family history of kidney issues, surgery is a better long term option. Great that you caught it early, hope you have a quick recovery.

Look up renal cryoablation and ask your urologist if you are a candidate. It will depend on multiple factors, but if you are a candidate, a minimally invasive treatment could be used as opposed to a partial or total nephrectomy, which would greatly reduce recovery time and risk of complications...

Thanks for posting, I was having a bad day and watching this made it slightly better.

The dual clutch DSG is way better than the manual in the A4, so you might want to rethink your post.

Do you use Foreflight? The flight planning function will allow you to easily determine optimum cruise altitude for time en route or fuel consumption based on your aircraft performance and winds aloft.
