    My guess is prices will remain about the same. Will your home-built have certified IFR-GPS? Mode C? Depending on what it has, you will have various options to choose from for ADS-B Out. A typical...

    Mogas with booze is horrible for fuel lines, carbs, fuel shut off valve, drain valves, etc., etc., etc. It also screws up fuel tanks, disolves gunk and sends the gunk through the fuel system

    I think of DJI Spark as a smart phone (camera, GPS, wifi connectivity, USB port, MEMS chips, mini SD card, etc), with propellers, except you can't make phone calls with it. Early adopters reported of...

    I got this from another forum. Supposedly a video of Halladay flying low over the water -- recklessly -- and the wreckage afterwards.

    Been to AirVenture once. Never been to Sturgis, but every year I try to attend nearby (to me) Hollister (California) 4th of July Biker Rally for an afternoon. Sometimes I fly into Hollister Muni...

    Ability to attach photos.
    (Who is Dale B's one person?)

    Vee know nothing!

    I'm a little touchy about pictures of guys wearing those suits, because a bunch of guys just like them killed 10 percent of the population of the town I was born in. Of course,...

    Oh, nice family photo. Charming. Thanks for sharing. How's your goose-step?
  11. An airplane emblazoned with the Nazi swastika...

    An airplane emblazoned with the Nazi swastika would be totally inappropriate, even if it's historically accurate. Too hurtful and too many bad feelings from that symbol. Using that emblem is a...

    And insulting to women, particularly women in aviation, who are making strides to break into an industry that is a notoriously "old boy's club." And, it's inappropriate for EAA's Young Eagles.

    I had an A&P rewire my cigar lighter circuit and install a new socket on my C-150H. Cheap and easy. It's protected with a fuse. I'm pretty sure it's a 10 A fuse. Love having 14 V ship power...

    I did. Check out post number 7 of this thread. I referrred — correctly— to those pieces of “nose art” as bordering on soft porn.
    You disagree?

    OK, we’ve heard from the Old Boy’s Club. Any females out there who would care to opine?

    Now, this would be more like it.
    p.s. Don't feed the trolls.

    Why don't you be honest. The "Metal Mistress" -- meaning a female with whom a man has sex with on the side -- has her bare butt sticking out. Not appropriate for Young Eagles.
  18. Oh, great impression to make on a young girl...

    Oh, great impression to make on a young girl considering aviation as a career. I'm sure the Young Eagles Youth Protection policy would have no problem with semi-naked women airplane artwork.
  19. Do you think artwork like this on an airplane is...

    Do you think artwork like this on an airplane is appropriate for Young Eagles?

    I looked at the Victory Girl website. Some of this stuff I would consider soft porn. This stuff was probably considered OK during the WWII "12-O'clock High" days during the grim bombing raids of...

    Nice plane. Creepy, sexist, inappropriate logo. I know a lot of women aviators who would find it a turn off. But, to each their own.

    I got P.O.d on the radio at my home base airport -- uncontrolled E16 -- one time in my C-150 and used a few choice expletives over the radio when I nearly collided with a C172 doing pattern work. I...

    You send your radio off and you don't even get the same one back. You get a refurb. And, it's a flat fee no matter how minor the problem. Rather than greed I'm afraid it's the death thoes of a...
  24. Bendix King to pull all repairs in-house. No more field repairs.

    This has been posted on a few other forums, so I thought I would share here for those who have not yet seen it to see the reactions. In a nutshell, Bendix King sent a letter to all authorized...

    If EAA continued to be a club of home-builders only, it would be a very small club indeed, and shrinking every year.
