  1. Thankfully, the Remove Before Flight streamers were properly installed afterwards!
  2. Forteleza thank me later.
  3. So how does one see the big picture now? Has a new ceiling product been pushed out?
  4. The manner in which they present the letter makes it appear it is from the FAA. This SHOULD be illegal. I have received them a couple times and it’s shameful what they are doing. The first time I thought it was from the FAA. It’s fraud by deception. Period.
  5. Texas Air Salvage. I'm sure they have more than you can possibly imagine.
  6. Chase Domestically, I feel the used WAAS market, read GNS series, is going to drop out significantly for two reasons. First, most of the chatter I heard on buying a GNS was because of the ADSB push. Second, with Garmin dropping the GTN Xi, the current GTNs just dropped in street value a bit. Just like the G500 to G500TXi, both airframe value and component value drops when new gear hits the sales floor. It sounds to me like the export market is where the money is at.
  7. Hang a string in the middle of your airport with ticks on it. No need to draw semicircles. or, just use you fingers on ForeFlight
  8. I would not use Oasis Avionics in GA. They have a few shops. Their quotes were way out of line of others and my hangar mate used them for a TXi. He did not go into deep details, but he was not happy with them at all. He though top dollar meant white glove service, and learned a hard lesson.
  9. My apologies for the necro-post, but just wanted o chime in and see if High Jackers had enough servers to accommodate the group? I've been to a couple fly-ins there and it seems that even with prior notification, they simply did not have enough servers to deal with the group. Given that they are on the ramp and a lot of business comes from $100 burgers, when we tell them a group is coming, they should have the staff to provide at least mediocre service. On a solo run, service has never been a problem. But when you get one or maybe two servers for 40 people, it's simply a mess.
  10. The big iron in the area were prob reporting smooth ride!
  11. Bolle Flip or Grunt depending on which pair that happens to be closer. Glasses tend to be very personal choices; a reflection of who who think we are and what we want to look like to others. I prefer polarized but wear non for flying because I black out my screens.
  12. Most important question to be asked though: can she logged it as PIC?
  13. Lake City KLCQ has a country buffet directly across the street from it. Typical greasy spoon. Been there a few times.
  14. If you still have vac, there is only one reason; the gyro is toast. If you have the coin, the G5 is hard to beat. But with so many upgrades, an as removed replacement gyro will be very easy to find dirt cheap.
  15. Or buy it somewhere else and already get free shipping. Wait till mid 2020 if you can. Those who really needed it will already have done it. The market is going to get skinny and prices will absolutely drop. I think that’s what uAvionics already knows, hence, the purchase of a more sustainable product like the Av20/30. I also think the airframe prices will dip a bit because ADSB will be “required equipment” for buyers and no longer be seen as better than the next guys unequipped plane. Expect a sellers discount in the offer contract for ADSB installation.
  16. My eyes are moist. Must be from the wind.
  17. I have a 10” going in after the first of the year. Parts are already on order. Can’t wait. My hangar mate just did the NXi in his Ovation. Can’t wait to snicker at him when he sees the G3X.
  18. It most definitely is stupid bright. I have two of them installed on my Lance and they never get turned off. Worth the price for a quality light.
  19. Odds are that it is fine. However, you get to roll those dice at 10k ft to find out if you won or not. Chalk it up to paying the tuition of life. Put the new plug in and run it. I would send the old one back to Tempest and see if they can do anything with it such as check it, replace it, rebuild it or use it for R&D. It's worth the call at least.
  20. Killer deal on that FS210. I love mine. It is rare that I do any programing on the actual GPS anymore.
  21. Don't forget those who have visited anything ending in -stan or the middle east. And I don't shake hands in those countries either.
  22. My wife unbuckles and puts her knees on the seat so she is facing backwards. I think the hardest part for men is peeing while seated. Just does feel right. They do work great. I’ve actually used the same one twice on the same flight no prob.
  23. Wife told me to take the boys to the Little Rock zoo, which was about 40 min drive into the city. We flew an hour to the Memphis zoo instead. First she was mad, then thought I was brilliant and then angry she didn’t get to go.
  24. I agree. I think you inadvertently pressed the "Install Later" button and it did so. I generally do not update my iPads unless there is a specific need to these days. Really not fond of the forced changes in functionality coupled with the Apple planned obsolescence program.
