    Aluminum safe paint stripper?

    Anyone used any of the Rustoleum "Aircraft Remover" on aluminum? I don't have a can here to read what it's safe on and I'm planning a color change on the interior of our RV. Anyone have a suggestion for a paint stripper outside the Rustoleum? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Getting the most out of a hand-held radio?

    I'm flying a Nieuport 24 and the airport we fly out of is busy enough that knowing what is coming is a nice to have thing. The Sporty's handheld I'm using can pick up ok, but just barely. I'm thinking about a new remote antenna for it, just thought I'd see what the hive thought? Anyone...

    Instructing in a bird with no insurance?

    I've been asked to help a guy get his private and he's debating on whether or not he'll be carrying any insurance on the aircraft. It's his bird and his insurance decisions are his, and I feel his pain on whether or not to carry it. I've been back and forth on my own aircraft, but carry it...

    Taxing questions..

    Hey guys- I was thinking about tax time and had a question: Let's assume a CFI, who isn't currently CFIing. I.E. No 1040 form. No income from CFI flying. However, in order to keep this certificate I had to take a refresher course. Is this deductible? What about getting a BFR? I am...

    Collins 65 autopilot..

    Any of you guys have a decent amount of time with this unit? Is it "normal" for this autopilot to both give you aural and visual warnings for selecting the autopilot on and off? Off I understand. I've only flown 1 aircraft with the Collins 65. Ours acts like you're disconnecting it - master...

    Based on the reaction of many you'd think this is the original post: Hey idiots, your mothers can't cook an egg to save her life and your wives all look like a mangy mutts. Your kids are ugly too! Man, I'd shave them and teach them walk backwards if my kids were that ugly. Oh, yeh, while I...
