Midcap, my blood sugar is completely under control with diet and exercise. My question was about resubmitting for the medical... procedurally. Do I just start over or is there a different process given that I once failed? Regarding carbs, I only eat the good ones... some fruits and lots of...

Thank you for all of your responses. I am fortunate as my diabetes is under control with (a very strict) diet and (lots of) excercise. I am on no medication, an A1C of 5.5 and my bloodwork is all excellent for any person of any age. The only reason I failed the medical was the medication I...

Hello, About 3 years ago I decided to finally pursue my PPL. Unfortunately, I learned the through the FAA medical process that I had become a type II diabetic. My doctor had me on a light does of Metformin, and much to his surprise I was denied my medical based on being on that medication...

Hello Keith, I went through a similar transition with boating after decades of being a avid boater. I could never have imagined it, but I lost interest in it. All I can tell you is that I never really missed it, and neither will you miss flying based on what I have read. It happens... go...

You are a smart Man, Jay. Most people don't realize that Google hasn't really been a search engine for years. I still use Yahoo mostly, but use Google a bunch with the understanding that the results are bought and paid for - but are still useful.

So you never watched Flying Wild Alaska? :wink2:

I'm sorry, but what about the iPad is closed? There's an app store with 1000's of apps; the only caveat is the code has to be well written and provide value. Anyone can write an app for an iPad and publish it, and you can write your own app and use it and never publish it. Granted, the...

John, I was in California last summer for 2 weeks, visiting from South Florida. It's a beautiful and diverse place. Like South Florida though, there is a growing number of people/forces that seem to be trying to build a wall between the people that truly love what these respective states have...

I guess Safeway is aptly named!

Exactly what did I assume? I stated is't a personal choice, as part of an overall approach to finance. Translation: It depends on what else you might do with your money. Generalism's can't be applied. So as you say, calculate - but one can't speak about financing "toys" in isolation. Paying...

Reminds me of a skit on Saturday night live, where they were poking fun at the "Miracle on the Hudson" landing. In the skit, there was another "pilot" being interviewed. He said "I left 20 minutes later, missed all of the geese and landed in Charlotte 10 minutes early.... why is he a hero"? :)

Listen to this advice! I run a business (successfully) and this is the most true advice you will ever hear. Business plans are nice but they are based on assumptions and every failed business had one.

Good point, but the other argument would be that with interest rates where they are, putting cash into a plane would be silly. This is a personal choice that has to be part of an overall approach to handling your money. For instance, I paid for my house aggressively, but I finance my toys...

I agree. They come to see people do it without getting hurt or killed. However, I think real risk is important. Otherwise you lose all of the smart people (like the one's NASCAR is loosing now that the major difference between a Chevy and a Toyota is the decal on the front). By "smart", I...

Everyone needs to take a big gulp of the "**** Happens" cool-aid. I was at a party a few months ago and everyone there was telling me to sell my motorcycle because they are "too dangerous". I am sad to say 2 people at that party have since been diagnosed with very serious cancer. We all...

Thank you. An interesting exercise in user interface design... since the navigation was so different for the X11 I didn't see it!.

i did not see the x11's on DC's website. Have they been withdrawn?

Terms like "ground pounder" may very well be the kind of phrasing people would consider derogatory.

I don't have nearly the experience that most of you have, and there have been some great points made, I think there are 2 major contributors: 1) Anything that people don't "need" is suffering decline. For instance, motorcycles, which are still relatively cheap to own and operate are also in...
