    Dead battery

    So I arrived at the Tiger @ 5:30 this morning to find a dead battery. No one around, so my day was done before it started. The battery is a Concorde RG-25XC, installed in 2011. What is the safest way to bring it back to life, or should I just consider it a goner? Thank you in advance for...

    GDL39

    I have a GDL 39 with battery that I am looking to sell. It works great, but is not compatable with the apps that I want to use (Xavion, Foreflight). It has only been used once, but I really prefer Foreflight over Garmin Pilot. If you are an Android user, this is your best option for ADS-B...

    This weekends Pilot n Paws trip

    Since getting my Tiger at the end of May, I have logged 20+ hours, with 15 of them doing Pilot n Paws missions. One of the reasons I wanted to get the plane was to do charitable work. The mission on Sunday turned out to be more special than I could have ever imagined. A couple of weeks ago...

    iPad Mini v Samsung Tab2 7"

    So I bought a Samsung Tab2 as a backup to my iPad Mini. I have subscriptions to Foreflight and Pilot. Now that I have them both, I can say without question that I think the Samsung is horrible. They are clunky, the internal GPS did not perform as well as the iPad mini. It is not as easy...

    My first plane!

    I am just days away from getting my first bird, 1979 Grumman Tiger. The plane is virtually perfect and has been maintained by one of the best for the past 13 years. Not sure I could be any more excited! Just wanted to share.

    The Jay by AOPA

    Has anyone seen one of these yet? I have seen the video's from Sun and Fun and it appears to have some value (not sure $2400 worth). I am most surprised that so many from the industry have collaborated on the project. Oh yea, I just ordered one so I will get to see very soon if it has value...
