Okay, folks, enough is enough. We've got good, long-term, high quality pilots seriously discussing vandalizing someone's website, because of said someone's troll-dom. In the past, I have defended said troll, and lambasted said vandals, but have now come to realize that this troll is obviously so...

c-150 crashed into house Man and 8 year old daughter Possible suicide flight http://www.wishtv.com/

I remember way back as part of the private training, good old CFII J O'B would insist on a power reduction and flaps passing the numbers downwind, he'd reserve the right to chop the power at any time and often did somewhere around the turn to base to see if I had enough energy to make the...

Are there any private and/or moderated forums that are popular among many of the posters to r.a.p.? Maybe AOPA's forum? I use Google for firewall reasons so I frustratingly do not have filtering capability. Marco

Here's a question that until yesterday I'd have thought was obvious. Cessna-style (and no doubt other) ignition switches have five settings -- Off/Right/Left/Both/Start. When you're on the "Right" setting, does it mean you are firing on the right magneto or does it mean the right magneto is...

Well, it's almost 2 months since I last flew, due to maintenance issues and a holiday interstate. I had a lesson today, and was feeling fairly confident that I hadn't become too rusty, due to constant visualisation and going over stuff in my head. I was slightly nervous about the a/c as it's wings...

I just made a deal on a Taylorcraft in New York and I live in Houston. I would like to pick it up and fly it back the 3rd week in March. Is this two early to attempt such a long flight in a little putt-putt airplane in the NE USA? Danny Deger

Some would say a story about flying an Aircoupe is not a story about real piloting. But surely it's closer than a lot of the off-topic vituperation lately on r.a.p. Yesterday was classic early spring weather for Northern California. Sunny, chilly, a bit of moisture in the air to lower...

Can anyone help me to find out how to buy a scrapped airliner hull? I want to use it to make a home out of it. Any help is appreciated. -- Jim in Houston Nurse's creed: Fill what's empty, empty what's full, and scratch where it itches!! RN does NOT mean Real...

Does anyone know if it is possible to access the raw data that is used for the winds aloft plots on aviationweather.gov? At first I assumed it was an interpolation of the classical FD text data. But then I realized that the graphical plots have a finer time increment than the FD text data. It is...

We're still in the throes of winter here in Wisconsin- low ceilings, ice, snow encrusted taxiways and ramps. One plane is gone for a month for an avionics upgrade, while the other sits waiting for the return of the prop. No flying for a while. Perhaps I'll organize my tools. So, how about a new...

I suppose one of the reasons that the forum is so off topic at the moment is whether has most of us grounded... Thinking along those lines though... How often do the rest of you get out flying? once a week? once a month? I've found that since I purchased 4261J, I've been 'forcing' myself to the...

Planning a trip from Georgia to NM in Mid to late April, maybe early May. I'd appreciate hearing any comments on what the weather is typically like out there that time of the year.

Does anyone have any educated guesses on when the next version of the Bose X will be released? I think it's been a few years since they revised the design (which they seem to do every few years). Specifically, I am looking forward to built-in audio inputs before I'd be willing to buy one. --Dan
