  1. As I recall back in the 80's the legal begals got a hold of the aviation industry. They figured that product liability was a field worth pursuing. Thats when aircraft prices spiked, along with tort lawsuits, etc, etc. The problem is that the USA, especially here on the Left Coast, the gen pop has become so litigious. Why the lawyers can barely keep the lights on!!!
  2. And one of the best Web Cams for an airport anywhere https://truckeetahoeairport.com/webcam
  3. I got my pilots license at Truckee in 1980. Regardless of routes, the most important factor is to travel in the AM, the earlier, the better. Truckee has an awesome airport !! Now even a CT and atis !!
  4. I wouldn't be surprised. We sprayed quite a bit of that back in the 80's, only to find out later that it and imron should be used with a full body protection.
  5. Also, rust can progress underneath powder coat, as opposed to paint, it shows through.
  6. I had the same situation last Dec (24') had to have them IRAN - 3 hrs labor plus fees @Precise Flight
  7. I'm going to have to put in a call to Elon !!! Ha !
  8. also, has the case been hone line bored?
  9. You mean TODAY you won't use G100UL
  10. Its a new prototype, 3 blade for takeoff and climb, 2 blades for HS cruise. ;-)
  11. Does the lap position work for you reading Foreliight approach plates?
  12. Recently, my speed breaks, would intermittently only deploy on one side. Made for some interesting descents. Had to IRAN with Precise Flight. Work like a champ now. Not cheap, but "Quality is not Expensive, Its Priceless" ;-)
  13. And we wonder where the $$$ goes and why the debt is so very high. Death by a million paper cuts. Perhaps we're on the correct path finally.
  14. I live on an airpark and to date have not heard a peep from the local population re "lead poisoning" . There are 2 schools in close proximity to the departure end of the prevailing runway. Perhaps like almost all issues in this glorious country, ones acceptance of a green agenda overshadows logic. However, I flew into and out of Santa Monica for about 10 years and look what happened there.
  15. What an awe inspiring trip. I especially covet your ability to "decipher" the instructions from ATC. Congratulations! I can't wait to see the videos of your travels in AUS. Thanks Again for Sharing !
  16. I attended the Advanced Pilot Seminar held by them a few (7? maybe) years ago. I was totally impressed by their professionalism, attention to detail and the general warm mid-western hospitality that is evident at his facility and even to the coffee shops in Ada. The test stand was incredible, as was the class/seminar. My only wish was that we could have had the class last another day to further cover turbocharged aircraft. If they were to begin offering the seminar again I would seriously consider attending again as it is learning via firehose.
  17. @Pinecone, I'm afraid I can't blame my handwriting on the Pencil, screen or anything else. I picked up a I pad mini 6 about1.5 mo ago, hitch hike it off my i phone for service, as you mentioned, working great. My 3rd mini. I have it mounted on the yoke column, centered on the yoke.
  18. I'll second that... I also have to force feed H2o otherwise I'll feel dehydrated post flight. I also bring along backup O2.
  19. My hats off for Great research for 1980 Mooney !! ;-)
