    Moving again

    Been much more of a lurker here in recent months but I wanted to pass on to my friends that I'm moving again. We've enjoyed the last three years in the UP but the career takes me to San Francisco beginning next week. Will probably settle in the East Bay area. Hope to utilize Buchanan Field or...

    SiriusXM receiver recommendations?

    Can anyone recommend a low profile receiver that can be moved from auto dock to in-home dock use easily? It doesn't need to have access to the 300 premium channel packages. We'll need to buy everything except the program package itself - we have a subscription for our OEM Honda radio and we'll...

    Current regulatory status of radio-controlled/model aircraft ops?

    There was a previous thread but I couldn't find it. Leaving aside the current NPRM and Congressional back and forth, which won't likely result in any new limits before the end of this year, what are the current regulatory limits on radio controlled aircraft operations so far as the FAA is...

    Broker / consignment test flights

    So here's a question: I'm still pontificating over what to do with my plane which is still in Fairbanks. For the heck of it I contacted a couple of brokers. For my plane they both want 8%. Ok.

    Fill the hole in my panel

    So the older of the two radios in my plane finally died after living what was no doubt a long and fulfilling life. I always said I wanted a GNC300XL and annunciator. Make it better equipped for light IFR. What would you put there? :)

    temporarily rolling back to original iPhone?

    I'm still researching this on my own but I thought I'd check and see if anyone has tried something similar... My wife's 3Gs iPhone needs to be sent in for repair due to her dropping it and some audio features now not working (I'm guessing a solder connection fractured somewhere.) It works fine...
