You made a great choice for a lot of great reasons. You would have been sorry had you purchased the Chinese bike, both from the size and the difficulty with selling when the time comes. You won't lose much on that TTR when you sell, and it will probably be the most hassle free sale you've ever...

I think your heart and head are in the right place. It's a balancing act between letting them have fun, allowing them experiences and opportunities to do things that help them grow and foster decision making skills, and trying to keep them safe at the same time. Unfortunately it's a little...

For the 7yo I believe there's only 1 choice, the Yamaha PW50. It's an oil injected 2 stroke, shaft driven automatic with no gears to shift. It has the lowest seat height and is the easiest bike to learn on for small kids. The bike was introduced in the early 80's and has largely remained...

Re: One Summer, by Bill Bryson Spot on. Let me tell you how to enhance the hilarity. I received the book from a friend as a gift many years ago. I started reading it but never finished it. Fast forward several years, I'm fresh out of a painful surgery and know I'm going to be laid up for...

He's right. Easily demonstrated with a camp fire, 20lb or larger cylinder of gas, and a 12ga slug. Hell of a flame! Best experienced after sunset.

Ed should be here in a bit. He'll have a report then. I'd look at kldm to kmtw to 6y9 and see if that's better. We've done that several times when the tvc sjx weather has been bad.

Update from diz: coffee is handled. Gets dark around 830 to 900. Potluck at hang out room. Tim m: if you get to lnl we have inside options for you. Pm ed or grant or tim w for diz cell.

Try this: http://www.katmai-260se.com/ As 2 others have already mentioned. A canard doesn't make an airplane land too fast or use too much runway.

If you've got any left, bring 1 to 6Y9 this weekend for me.

Let me know if you don't find anybody in the Detroit area. I know 2 different A&P's that would be a good fit for you bit we're an hour by plane or 2 or more by car from the Detroit area.

Our two kids (4&7) have been bugging us to take them to Oshkosh for a couple of years. We always leave them with grandma. The movie this year seemed like the perfect reason to take them. We loaded up the camping gear and car seats and left early yesterday morning for Oshkosh. Spent the day...

Tell us more about the specific plane.... What year, if a '68 what engine & prop? '68 came with fixed pitch and 0-320. Many have been upgraded to an 0-360 with fixed pitch or CS. 75 or earlier will indicate MPH, 76 and beyond in KTS. Make sure your POH and checklist match the ASI...

STOL is a term that defines the takeoff and landing performance of the aircraft. There are several STC's for STOL enhancements. They do not all achieve the same level of STOL performance, nor do they necessarily yield the same performance in other aspects of flight, i.e. cruise speeds. You're...

They're young and hunting season has been over for months. Nothing to do with pheromones. You won't have the same experience with a mature specimen in October if you truly live in a rural area. I've had them stand at my front door in the middle of the winter. I still have to hunt carefully...

I think many of us who would buy such an expensive raffle ticket for something like an interior would do it more as a donation to the charity with no real intention of winning. If others concur with that statement, I'd be more inclined to ask the question of how appealing is the charity to...

Re: CONDO FOR SALE IN ST MAARTEN OVERLOOKING THE FAMOUS JULIANA INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT How goes the advertising? Any serious pilot prospects materialize yet? Curious why you don't post this on some fishing forums? There are a lot more fishermen than pilots. If a pilot would be enticed by the...

Our kids have never asked why others don't have planes. Our oldest assumed all kids had planes until she was 4 or 5. If she heard adults talk about a long drive she would often ask them why they didn't take the plane. I'm not sure how many of the kids classmates know we have an airplane...

60 I think. I'm using a Sporty's iPad app to study and practice to retake my written. I paid $15 for the upgraded version because it gives you the correct answer to the practice test question if you get it wrong. I find studying the questions I got wrong to be a good learning tool, not just...

How much time do you have in the plane and how much experience do you have planning and flying long cross countries and interpreting weather over long distances? I'm just finishing up my IFR now. Those 3 things helped me significantly I think. I expected to need much more than FAA minimum...

I must be mistaken. I thought the IO-360 Continental was rated @ 210hp. What's the weight difference between the IO-360 Continental & the IO-390 Lyc? Does the weight savings on the Lyc make up for the 5% hp difference in any way?
