GRRR making me want a 231 or 252 now

I flew KDWH KPEQ SFL DMN V94 TFD DVT KHND out. Strapped on the 02 and flew KHND-KROW-KDWH back, E model didn't mind flying up high. Second Roswell, awesome stop. Walked around the boneyard, checked out a plane that once belonged to Elvis then Went into town looking for aliens. Which according to the locals only come sometime in July 8) Whatever you do, stay away from Pecos, it was so hot my tires melted to the pavement on the Landing roll. cold ac and free hotdogs if i remember correctly.

heat + aluminum = smaller or no dent, just sayin

if it must be an IPAD, get an IPad Mini5 with cellular. Not to big, not to small, fast and has gps built in. Cellular is great for filing, checking weather, calling ubers, blah blah blah. oh yeah Facetime.

Had some fun today, quick sack lunch at Mustang Beach, WOOT. KDWH to KRAS. seems everyone else had the same idea as it was absolutely packed with airplanes, had us late comers parking in the grass. btw anyone know n7114v or n6958v, guessing great minds and all

Giving me IDEAS

WTH, how did these words even come out of your fingers. Honda Accord, might as well have an electric MiniVan

Wow, this was actually helpful. I have an older GNS480 and the instructions are still spot on. I've always been thrown into wth mode whenever I've received crsto/crsfrom instructions

mine went up to $1400 from $1100, sux. i was expecting a few hundred dollar decrease due to getting my IR

I swapped my kma20 for a PMA8000g, have to say it's amazing. has all but one of the features of the pma 450b but was a good deal cheaper. i say it's actually missing half a feature. the positional audio in the 8000 is hardcoded for 10am and 2pm where the position is user selectable in the 450b. to be honest, now that the newness has worn off, i notice i rarely use any of the advanced features. calling approach on the cell phone is about it. Note, an audio panel install is labor intensive(expensive), it touches most everything in the plane. If you swap it you might as well upgrade a few other things at the same time.

Had KSAT all to myself today. seriously, i was the only plane moving on the whole field. Tower and I had a whole conversation about how i had the International airport all to myself. They didn't even bother to switch frequencies from clearance delivery, ground or tower. sad seeing dozens of aircraft just sitting around rusting. was like a dozen a380s stuck in some corner.

I was more concerned about the possibility of her infecting others.

My stepdaughter caught it, thank god she was young and only had mildish symptoms. The part i found most troubling, they sent her home to self quarantine due to not having any room in the hospital.

how about a Nav Flite II control head ? knob on mine is going bad

I don't remember where the report is but according to a really good oil muckity muck, it may have been savvy Blackstone, it DOES NOT MATTTER which oil you use if the plane is flown regularly. they ran an analysis against all the oil samples they've tested and found no significant difference. actually it said, exxon, shell then phillips by the smallest of margins. It very clearly stated frequency of change is more important than anything else. couldn't find the original report but here's something : https://resources.savvyaviation.com//wp-content/uploads/articles_eaa/EAA_2011-02_slippery-stuff.pdf

do it yourself. Not a true owner until you spill oil all down the firewall

same

wow

good stuff, i actually used to work for the company that makes Hoppes

I have both, i run an ipad mini5 and a samsung galaxy tab s6. the versions aren't actually that far apart anymore, from what i notice, android is mostly missing the new approach/arrival/dep features. also the vertical airspace depiction. Menu navigation is better in the android version.

hmm, is this why the android version of gp lags behind the apple? just sayin. even with the few missing features, still like android gp better than the apple gp

my mags were coming up on 500 hrs, so i swapped 1 for the surefly just to be rid of the overhaul req. unfortunately still have to overhaul the other

I was honestly trying to save all the $2.60 gas i could 8), not so much worried about speed. plus in these times, the girl needs all the flying i can give her

You make me feel like a slacker, I should really keep better records. I only really noticed it starts better and goes further LOP. 25 is easy. made it from KGTU to KDWH in 9 gallons sunday, fuel flow meter read about 8.2gph the whole way
