    I tried several vendors before posting here. Apparently none of them cares to measure the item, and provide me with the specs. asl

    Kneeboard

    I guess the short answer to my original post is that nobody knows. I have been a pilot for many years; I was looking for some technical information. asl

    Does anyone have any experience with the "Hendricks Advanced Mini Tri Fold Kneeboard?" The dimensions are illegible in the Web description. Tony

    Cool, or dorky?

    Are you a professional pilot? If not, I consider it silly. It diminishes the importance of the title, and the accomplishments necessary to obtain it professionally. Just my opinion. Of course, it certainly won't hurt anything if you want to have some fun. Tony

    Vertex vs Icom vs Sportys

    I believe that most of Europe requires the 8.33 MHZ spacing (circa 2000) above a cerain flight level. At one time the talk was that we would get it also. I have not looked into this for quite awhile, so I don't know if it will be required here. When Europe started in that direction...

    Plane Down Coney Island Beach

    I do not know the details of this accident, but four souls onboard a C-172S? Even if the craft was not overweight, the CG may have been aft of limits. Stalling at low altitude, it may not have been possible to get the nose down to break the stall. I love the C-172, but consider it a "2+...

    A cherry tree or a pear tree? [NA]

    Joe: The cherry tree will make much more of a mess when the cherries fall from the tree. If you don't mind that, go for the cherry tree (I have had several of each over the years). Tony

    Diamond DA20C1

    Joe: You are right about the rental differential for the DA20 vs. DA40. At MTN the rental rates are $77.90 and $114.00. I have flown them both; the DA40 is far the better of the two. I like everything about them save for the seats; you can't adjust them (only the brake distance is...

    WAC charts vs sectionals for VFR flight

    For VFR flights I carry sectional & terminal charts properly folded. I actually navigate with the 7 X 5 inch kneeboard "Trip Ticks" from Aeroplanner (Sectionals). Although all the planes I fly have IFR-certified GPS units, I like the challenge of pilotage and ded reckoning navigation (I...
