We were going over the rules in order to get our plane registered in the state of Oregon, and discovered this: I checked the law, and it seems to say exactly that: http://www.leg.state.or.us/ors/837.html See .025 Interestingly enough, it also says that ALL pilots flying in Oregon are required...

A group of guys from the EAA-105 chapter (Dick VanGrunsven's home chapter) have started building an RV-12! We received the kit last weekend, and started working on Wednesday. We put in a TON of work as a group, and are making fantastic progress, check out the build log here...

Hi all- I recently took a test flight and decided to buy a completed 2001 Zodiac 601 HDS. It fits me almost perfectly, has a great panel, and is a fantastic flier. However, I need to finance a little more than 1/2 of it. I have great credit, and my dad has offered to cosign, so actually...

Hi all- I've been somewhat entertaining the idea of purchasing a 2 seat, cross country plane for myself (or a reasonably quick 4 seater). I already have rental access to a Cessna 150/Cherokee 180, so my buy requirements are that it be significantly better than that in some manner. Due to the...

I did a search here, and didn't see anything about this plane before, but I noticed an article about them on Wikipedia. Assuming one were to do an extensive pre-buy, it seems to me that these are quite the deal. All the ones on barnstormers seem to come at less than $30k! In addition, it is a...

Hi all- I have a good friend of mine that is interested in flying with me, but mentioned that she suffers from some pretty bad motion sickness and claims it is 'physical, not mental', though I don't know the difference. I was wondering what I could do as a pilot to minimize this problem? I've...

Hi all- I just picked up a brand new Lightspeed QFR-XCC, which has a cell-phone hookup. However, the cell-phone cable that comes with it is a 3-connector 2.5mm jack, said to work with nokia/etc phones. However, the connector into the lightspeed is a 4 connector, 3.5mm jack (like a headphone...

After earning my PP-ASEL last weekend, I finally got a chance to take someone up! Yesterday I got checked out in the Cherokee 180 at 7S3 in anticipation of this afternoon. I took 2 friends from my home (7s3) to AST (Astoria, OR) for a quick trip. We picked up some smoked salmon, a quick...

Hi all- I recently signed up for the Bank-of-America Worldpoints card through AOPA, in part, because I thought the points were redeemable at Sporty's. Apparently that isn't the case! I was wondering if anyone has this card, and what you end up trading them in for? Everything in their little...

So I was told this is a requirement to become a real member here, so here it is! I just hit 40 hrs on Wednesday, and did another .9 with my instructor on Friday. Anyway, here it is: The test was Sunday, so I spent all day Saturday trying to prepare. I couldn’t sleep very well, so I ended...

Hi all- After almost exactly 3 months, I've logged 38.5 hrs, and have a Oral Exam/check ride on Sunday. I expect to get another 2 hrs or so done this week with my instructor (at least 1 lessons worth of Check-ride practice, and so I'll get the required 40), and have been cramming as best I can...
