Looks like we'll be stepping up to a six seater soon, and we'll need more headsets. My wife's headset is cheapo, so we'll bump that one down to one of the kids, get her something a little higher quality, and grab a couple more for the other kids. 1) Are there any good sets in the $400-500...

I came across a really good deal on an a six seat single on the extreme low end of the market, and I'm thinking about flipping it. Engine, paint, and interior are in good shape, but the panel is dated. Old Bendix King radio and nav/com, DME, VOR/GS, old school storm scope, and a wing leveler...

I'm thinking about selling my trusty ol' C-182 since the market is wicked crazy right now. Several of you have seen the old girl, and many of you have probably seen it without knowing it on the @SixPapaCharlie "Have I Got the Plane For You" series. The plane hasn't been painted since 1971...

I'm getting over a pretty wicked case of the rona. As I've read, many have experienced dizziness, motion sickness, fatigue, and some pretty serious brain fog. I'm also experiencing these things. I'm curious if there are any among us on POA who have had a serious case, and if so, how long did...

We are thinking seriously about putting together a fly-in/airshow here in the tiny town of Lindsay, OK sometime next year. While we aren't quite sure where we intend to go with this, I would like to find out if we could possibly provide some visual stimulation to our patrons in the form of...

This dude seriously must have a screw loose.

Although the generator in my C-182 doesn't seem to want to quit working like a champ, I'm considering converting to an alternator when it shows signs of going kaput. What options are out there? What's the cost to convert? Is it worth it?

Just south of Ada Municipal Airport (KADH) in Ada, OK. Pilot and daughter survived. No idea what happened, but they were apparentlcoming from the Shreveport, LA area, and put her down in a ditch no more than a mile from the runway...

Bass Guitar. That's right. Yours truly laying down the bassline to a little Van Morrison alongside a bunch of my cousins. Enjoy, or don't.

The annual Wings and Wheels Fly-in & Car Show in Chickasha, OK (KCHK) is this Saturday, June 15th. It's always a good way to spend a Saturday. Come one, come all.

Just curious what the group thinks. An acquaintance of mine started his PPL training about a year ago. Shortly after soloing, knew he was hooked on flying, and just went ahead and bought a C-150 to complete his training. I'd say he bought it sometime during the late spring-early summer of...

Ran across this old vid while drooling over Globe Swift videos. One of the sexiest GA airplanes I've ever seen, yet I've never heard if it. The SwiftFIRE. Enjoy.

saw this :hairraise: Yeah, no bueno!! I was bringing my old boat motor, which has been taking up space in my hangar, up to the house to get ready to sell it. Trailer was pulling just fine coming out of town, and I was keeping an eye on it in the mirrors. A few miles down the road, I...

Redneck style

Moments ago, one of the nearby university trainers landed at my local field, as they often do. They generally fly Piper Warriors, and they use our sleepy field for practice often. Today, the trainee landed normally and came to a complete stop pretty much dead on the middle of the runway. They...

As I have been experiencing some excess vibration of late, I've decided to replace my engine mounts. Not sure yet where the vibe is coming from yet, but I'm going to go ahead and do the mounts. I believe my mounts are around 20 years old unless I missed something in the log book, so I figure...

Actually more like pulsations, and definitely not good. A while back, I mentioned I had a bit of a wiggle in my oil pressure gauge. Nothing terribly concerning, but when the engine got good an warm, say 15 minutes in to the flight, the gauge would start swinging rapidly maybe 5 psi. Haven't...

My wife and I found a house that we really would like to buy if we can. Bought our small cheap starter home about a decade ago, and now it's time to get outta here. The new home will be a huge upgrade and roughly 2.5 times the value of our current home. We don't have the cash to make a 20%...

@SixPapaCharlie and @eman1200 fill in the blank, sirs. Edit: The fly-in is set for April 26-28 at Rough River State Park (identifier: 2 India 3) Be there or be square! Sign up here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1NamiVpbkExHQ0Gd07JuP3_ZVoXbW25qOKmN6KsPipnY/edit#gid=0

I stopped to fuel up at Portage Municipal Airport in Portage, WI on the way to Oshkosh as I have in the past. One of the few places that has UL94. Talked to the airport attendant for a bit and he said it looks like they will probably be closing within the next couple of years. Apparently the...
