    Thinking about a Moped

    http://rideonewheel.com/ We've been using these a bunch around here as a surf shuttle/access vehicle. Hadn't really thought about it but it would be great in the airplane. 7 mile range and 20 minute recharge time. Super intuitive to use and far more stable than some of the other forward...

    Thinking about a Moped

    That's exactly what I commute on nearly every day year round. I put almost 600 miles on it since this time last year. 1978 Motobecane Mobylette. Milk crate on the back holds a case of beer. (or groceries) 150+mpg. I top off the gallon tank every month or so. Does 30 around town, 15...

    Headsets, Inc - PIREPS?

    I've had a kit on my old peltors for several years now. Went with new ear cups, the single cord, and auto shutoff battery box. I highly recommend it, although I do tend to wade around constantly in new and used 9 volt batteries. The intercom uses them too though, so it doesn't hurt to have a...

    Downside to ownership - complacency

    What's Awesome?

    Great thread idea! I get sick of the malcontents we all have to deal with on a daily basis after a while.

    This is why you make sure your S#1T is secured in the cockpit.

    Sounds like it fell into the space during the takeoff roll and the controls were free beforehand.

    I Need Your Help

    Totally understand the not wanting to relocate part. I've been living in overpriced Colorado resort towns for the last decade and wouldn't have it any other way. I still think requiring anything close to $80-$100k annually to live comfortably is crazy. I will admit to living a humble and...

    I Need Your Help

    Close to $6k a month is your "break even" number? Something is way wrong with that. I live in what some consider a "destination" area where cost of living is significantly higher than equivalent boring flatland communities. If I was anywhere close to pulling in $70k a year I would be shopping...

    Burnt out

    Liz, sent you a PM about paying forward an electronic e6b that I haven't used in years. Let me know if you want it.
