    Are You Increasing Your Hull Value?

    They will, and when they do, he won't need the truck or the plane in cell he'll be in.

    Do you tip your CFI?

    The thought never even crossed my mind. A small gift or token (non-monetary) to show your appreciation might be Ok.

    Are You Increasing Your Hull Value?

    On our Club 2008 NAvIII 172, we went from about $180K to $330K and the insurance went only a couple of hundred $$. It was a no brainer last year when we looked at the replacement costs and realized we wouldn't come close to a replacement in the event of a total loss.

    Electronic pilot log books

    I started with paper, then went to myflightbook and then to FF...for a couple of years, was updating all three and now use FF exclusively. I do worry about FF going down and losing my logbook, but I figure that'd be the least of my problems if FF is down :). I also go the D2 Mach 1 and it auto...

    Skylane avionics upgrade

    How much is this costing, if you don't mind me asking? We have Q model that we are looking to upgrade the panel on. Right now, have the Aspen 1500 PFD, MFD, 430W, STEC55X and a GTX330es. The backups are vacuums. Looking to keep the 430 for WAAS, and add single G500txi, GFC600, 345R, and a G5 for...

    Changing an IFR plan

    We were flying from KAEG to KOKC on a recent coast to coast flight...it was pretty turbulent at all the altitudes, and in the end we couldn't take 4 hours of that. Simply told ATC we were diverting to KAMA and they cleared us direct. They did ask and "just because" seemed like a valid answer.

    Paint estimates for 2008 Cessna 182T?

    I think we'll have to strip and paint...the paint is stripping around rivets already and bare skin is showing. Its especially bad on the top of the wings, so that may be our only option.

    High Wing vs Low Wing

    I fly a 182T and DA40 regularly...and honestly, don't prefer one over the other. Sure, the 182 is a better for the NYC skyline tour over the Hudson, but for the most other flights, it doesn't matter.

    Paint estimates for 2008 Cessna 182T?

    My club's 182T is due for a paint job, and I'm gathering some numbers...got estimates from one shop in MD for $19K and another in PA for $16K. Never done this before, so not sure if these numbers are ballpark? Nothing special, just a regular paint job using vanilla pattern and colors.

    Has anyone tried the new Bose Pro Flight in a piston plane?

    After about 6 years of use, my Bose A20s are beginning to lose first syllable of every transmission. I had them "renewed" by Bose but no help. I'm going to try the PS2 and see how they work in the 182s and DA40 I fly regularly.
