    A follow up, I bought a couple of the flat path markers off amazon, they're definitely bright enough to see from over a mile, closer to 2 if I know where to look. They were only $10 each and I think...

    I'll snap a picture of the markers next time I'm out. As for state registration, it doesn't really gain us much, as we're already listed and charted on the sectional. We do operate a vacation rental...

    I own and live on a private turf airstrip, 7MN3, in SE Minnesota. The runway is about 2700X80 and nicely maintained. Until this year we've never had edge markers, since it's pretty easy to spot and...

    Was in college in Florida when he went back up on the Shuttle. Launch was delayed, like always, and I missed the beginning of a final exam just to be able to say I saw him go up again. I'm too...

    I was planning to attend 2017 regardless, but having BNL for the opening show is the icing on the cake. Love them, they're a pretty significant part of the playlist that I have on in the shop when...

    I can't speak to the establishment part, as I bought an existing property with a 2700 X 80 turf runway. Mine is charted and designated Private, but we let anyone land here that chooses. MN has...

    First one that comes to mind is a Pietenpol, although that's tandem seating and I'm biased because I'm working on one. The Fisher products, specifically the Dakota Hawk would likely also work. ...

    Have to agree with Marc that just using a 'builder assist' option at the factory doesn't necessarily mean the owner isn't a real builder. I helped a friend build a Legacy a number of years ago,...

    I kind of did what you propose back in 03. I was a newly minted A&P and found a job at a local FBO. I worked full time, then flew for an hour or two after work most days of the week. As others...

    In all fairness to my instructor, who I know quite well as a co-worker, he tailored the flight to what I was feeling up for that day. I planned for just an intro to unusual attitudes, rolls and...

    I too decided that the BFR was the perfect chance to explore things I hadn't done in an airplane. I did one as a 100 hr. PP in an Extra 300L and it was the best hour I've ever had in an airplane! ...

    An update seems in order. First, I decided to go ahead and split the case, just for my own piece of mind. Haven't dug into it yet, but should be a good winter project. Also, the engine log was...
