Ok, so one of my partners reserves 2 dorm rooms (no A/C this year) every year for Tuesday - Thursday. This year, however, there are only 3 of us that can make it. So my dilemna: 1. Take the plane up and camp next to the plane while they take the remaining dorm room, and then open up the other...

The weather was perfect for flying yesterday morning, sunny, mostly blue sky with about 12000' ceiling and little wind (unlike the day before when we canceled our flying plan due to 13G24 wind). As usual, we checked weather sites, TAF/weather map etc before heading to the airport. Bad weather is...

The weather was perfect for the Rec.Aviation Northeast Mini Fly-in this morning. Rick and I left KPOU at 10:40am and landed at Skyacres 44N just before 11:00am. Several planes were leaving so we were able to tie down just outside of the Windsock Cafe. I went inside the restaurant and immediately...

I have a KFC-200 autopilot in the aircraft I fly and I have always been able to fly a better approach by hand than the autopilot does. Just the other day while out doing practice approaches to a runway with a 12 kt crosswind on the surface and a pretty good wind gradient and turbulence from the...

.....whether or not the planes took off from a conveyor or not, whether Belfort Instruments had anything to do with the remote RC transmitter that was used to fly them, and whether Elvis was involved.

Just read the article on the Turbo Cirrus in the latest Flying magazine. What a beautiful aircraft - 194 kts at 12,000 feet in a fixed-gear single at 17.5 gph fuel consumption isn't bad! I want one! BDS

We've been having a problem with the engines on our Seneca II for awhile now and I wonder if anyone else has any experience with it. The engines are TSIO-360s and if we lean at cruise with about 75% power (typically around 32-in MP) or less to anything over about 1400 EGT (which is still ROP),...

I am going to be transitioning from a J3 to a Husky A1-C. I have quite a bit of complex experience but it is all in tricycle gear aircraft - the J3 is the only taildragger I've flown to date. Anyone out there with Husky time want to comment on what to expect?

I actually LIKE reading ANN.... they actually DO get most aviation news out before anyone else, you just have to watch them sometimes. I laughed out loud for 5 min straight after reading the first paragraph of Jon Thornburgh's article... Them's some funny planes those sport pilots will be flying...

This happened to me. I was hauling a bunch of stuff, one kilo per package. I was within weight-and-balance. But one by one they slid to the very back. They were left on the conveyor belt rollers by mistake. More kilos slid, the center of gravity moves aft, So I dialed in more nose-down trim....

A few of my regulars aren't returning this year, so I have tickets available for front row box seating across from the Start/Finish Line. $350 each, price includes pit passes for all five days and free VIP parking with a purchase of two tickets. September 11-15th, 2013 at Reno-Stead airport,...

We are looking for free plans to download, or anything similar, to build a bi-plane for a person to fly. Not a model, a real bi-plane! Can anyone help?

Plane accidentally starts with girl, 6, inside The Associated Press PALESTINE, Texas- Federal investigators are looking into an accident involving a small plane at an eastern Texas airfield that injured a 6-year-old girl. Palestine fire officials say the girl was alone in the Cessna 150 when...

It seems our friend in France is without his internet connection. According to his blog, he lost his internet connection, spent three days pay on a new reouter, and shortly thereafter lost his email and web server. I honestly hope it's a denial of service attack directed at him. That would be...

I have a Private Pilot - Single Engine - Land, but I haven't flown in a couple of years. My Medical is still good until the end of April 2007, but I didn't take my biannual review, so I guess my priviledges expired as of the end of October 2006. How do I renew my priviledges? Do I simply...
