  1. Speak for yourself. I'd sublet it.
  2. I was pretty sure the placement for that was because of the Y-bar behind the panel and there being next to no room up there, behind the panel. What would you put there? Or is the top of the 750 narrow enough to fit there?
  3. On top of that, if you watch the breakdown videos of onewheels, their products are put together without much care and their hardware is pretty crap. I thought about getting an older one to carry in the plane but decided against it. We went with folding e-bikes instead, specifically Discovery X5's. You lose a ton of space but they're fun, and I'm less likely to fall on my ass. Worst thing that happens if the battery dies is I have a single speed bike.
  4. Little late but welcome to Aera 760 panel mount club. It's a cheap way to get a lot of info for your passenger. I still use ipad primarily but my wife loves messing with the 760 in the panel. She messes with reading the weather, looking at airports, etc. It replaced a 696 that she also loved to mess with.
  5. Little late to the game but we were going to grab two Lectric E-bike Lites to stick in the Mooney for flying around and the salesman said he does not suggest it, that the 500w battery shouldn't go in a plane. Fair point, that's a lot of boom. :-(
  6. There’s a ton of knowledge on this forum about the 231. I have one and while a 252 is better, a 231 with intercooler and wastegate is supposed to come close, except controlling the throttle. IMO there’s a lot more that the 252 seemed to improve on other than the turbo that makes it worth it. But I love my 231 and am not sure how much more I’d spend to get to a 252.
  7. Even easier than that, electric ones have a placard below the speed brakes stating they are in fact electric. Page 21: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1BjCg2ZTXPlRzAYdYzkFdc2Sa4uxqtdvz/view?usp=sharing from Precise Flight Speed Brake install guide (Mooney)
  8. I guess I'm pretty lucky my wife doesn't need to go as often. I throttle back on water just a bit to give myself some time, and we can easily make 4-5 hour legs without issue. There's only been one code yellow where we had to get down to go without question, and we were only 40 minutes from our destination. After that, I just limited the legs to 4 hours. Finding new airports is fun, anyways. New FBO's, courtesy cars, etc. But if we had to do this every 1.5-2 hours, it'd probably be too much 'fun'. This is all VFR. Much easier to adjust.
  9. I'm sure I'll do it one day. I've got some pretty strict deadlines for the real work that pays, that I'm already behind due to a recent unfortunate accident.
  10. https://www.mapbox.com/ This just seemed like such a cool concept. Using this opens up a ton of stuff. Visual routes you took, times landed as a pop-up, export as a fancy 3d image or something, etc. Even global flights.
  11. I was going to go with an export of the log book. I've looked in to Foreflight API's to access the database, but it's not free. Coupled with the fact that this would limit it to FF and not Garmin Pilot, I decided against it. I've started a few times since it seems neat. Then I spin up a React project and it immediately has warnings of out of date libraries or Node versions (.. or 'Deno'? Or 'Bun'?) and I remember how much I despise web UI, and put it on hold again. Maybe the 4th try will prevail.
  12. I was thinking about making an app that imported foreflight log books and did something like this, but had a count for each state or something. Thought it'd be kinda neat.
  13. HITS? .. High Intensity Tail Stalls?.. Edit: OHHH, Highway In the Sky. I'm not fancy enough to have that. And it does sound annoying.
