I suspect that both will happen based on who they brought in as their interim CEO. That guy wound up doing both to Glasair. He eliminated all of the low wing speedster kits and focus solely on the sportsman, then sold it off to the East. I would be shocked if the first thing they do is stop...

I was thinking the EXACT SAME THING. You mentioned the medical marijuana prescriptions. There are also the tons of "pain clinics" in Florida whose only purpose seems to be to write and fill out scripts for oxycontin. I can imagine many docs looking to set up a simple "cookie cutter" business...

Thanks for the tip about VPS.net Please keep us updated on how this provider is working for you. I plan on switching services in a few months and have been looking for a reliable VPS.

Correct me if I am wrong, but for the LSRM to be approved to take the written A&P, he has to show that he has been working for the equivlent of 30 month full time, repairing and maintaining aircraft. It is not, IIRC, just that the LSRM becomes eligible after simply possessing the LSRM...

My bet is that the plane was delivered to the new owner without the wing mod and they had to have a special permit issued to ferry it to him.

Very true. Have you guys seen the batons CPD carries? They are those nice PR-24 batons most modern departments use. Nope. CPD keeps it "old school" with a straight hickory wooden baton that will crack your skull like a walnut. No thanks. If I have the choice between being beaten with a CPD...

I do a fair bit of international travel, and I have found ATMs to be the best way to go. I usually call the card provider right before the trip to let them know that I will be leaving the country and using the card abroad. Never had any problems. If you want to exchange cash, casinos usually...

God bless the man, he was a Chicago Politician to the core.

It has taken me a few YEARS to find a mechanic that I can trust. I finally found one this week that does solid work at a fair price. Originally, my family (as far back as my grandparents) went to the same mechanic since before I was born. After he died, we have been on a more or less...

Sometimes I wonder if folks realize how important/valuable a U.S. passport is. The passport is the one document that the government MUST get right. They need to make every effort to assure that the person who is applying for that passport is qualified to hold it. With a U.S. passport you can...

You guys know that they are exploring turning the Lopresti Fury into a kit, right? http://www.eaa.org/news/2010/2010-04-08_fury_kit.asp A polished swift is, IMHO, the most beautiful production GA aircraft I have ever seen.

There is a Seawind owner on the red board, IIRC.

Thanks guys, for all of the good advice. I'm going to try out the ideas tonight. Wish me luck!

Hi guys, I am having some real trouble with my Laptop that has been running Vista. My laptop shut down yesterday and when I tried to restart it I got the blue screen of death with a message that said: STOP: c000021a {Fatal System Error} I tried to reboot and got no luck. I hit F8 and tried to...

As far as them starting over, what do they have to do. Is it just re-taking the tests, or do they have to build up the 1,500 hrs again to get to ATP status? Do they have to get all of the dual instruction hours over again?

Good Luck!!

I'm fabricating parts for my Sonex project now. Mostly, I am turning big pieces of aluminum (angle, plate, sheet) into little airplane parts (gussets, ribs, doublers, skins, etc). I am hoping to have the fabricating all done by August. I am keeping my extra/scrap aluminum for a STOL 701...

EXCELLENT!!!

I can't figure out how he spent $160K on it, unless some of that money was in "builder's assistance".

The one difference between the RV3 back then and the Sonerai now is the internet. Other than RV builders, and some hardcore EAAers, how many people actually knew about the grounding? With the Zodiac 601XL, virtually everyone in GA knows about it. For heavens sake, they put it on CNN. Also...
