Poll: What is the Preferred Format for Aviation Video Download by
John T
I share a number of flying videos on my web site in both Windows Media and
Real Video formats. Frankly, I'm tiring of spending the time to render both
high- and low-bandwidth versions of each video in two formats (making four
files for each video), so I'm considering using a single format for...

pollution of jets against turbine aircraft by
[email protected]
With all the problem of the modern planes according to ecology (CO2,
white vapour trails, etc ...) I would like to ask a question :
-- does turbines and normal airscrew planes less pulluting aircraft
than pure jets one ??

Pool Party Report -- A new record! by
Jay Honeck
Just toddled in from the pool party, and all I can say is "Whoa --
what a party!"
Estimates range from 50 to 70 people at the pool, with an absolutely
full ramp at the airport. We were parking them in the grass -- which
is a new first for us! I've never seen so many RVs outside of
Oshkosh, so...

Pool party weather update? by
Montblack
How's the flying weather for your pool party looking? Noon on Saturday. All
directions?
Reason I ask is, I was just over at Golden Wings Museum this morning to pick
up any extra cargo they need hauled over to OSH. They have things set out on
folding tables for each plane.
The gang had just gone...

Populat Mechanics Octobrer issue by
Wally Samuelson
I just received the October issue of Popular Mechanics. The cover story is
about factory built sport planes. You don't need a license.
As usual the article is long on hype and short on specifics. I would love
to have a scale down of a P-51 Wow wouldn't that be a kick

Portable 4 place intercoms-roll your own? by
John T
I was looking at these, in anticipation of getting my ticket soon (I
hope!). The prices seem to be all over the board. Many seem to have an
add on module for use with 4 passengers.
I certainly don't know how to design electronic stuff, although I can
read a schematic and build something from one,...

Portable Carbon Monoxide Detectors by
Cecil E. Chapman
Anyone try any of those battery powered carbon monoxide detectors I see in
pilot shops for about $50. Are they worthwhile? The reason I am asking, is
that I'm wondering whether it is possible to hear one go off with headsets
on in a relatively 'noisy' G.A. aircraft? Recommendations?

Portable GPS by
xxx
I've been thinking of buying an aviation-specific handheld GPS to
replace the little hiker's model I've been using. NW_pilot's saga has
convinced me that a good unit really can be a life saver.
Any recent pireps on the new models?
Lowrance 600c does seem to give the most performance for the...

Portable GPS w/ VOR? by
Mini Moebius
I know some pannel mount GSP units have VOR capability (not sure if
its internal or interfaces with transiever). Anyway people make
portable transceivers with VOR, and portable GPS units with VOR
databases but I have yet to see a GPS unit that does VOR. I would
think it would be pretty easy to...

Portable intercom repair - where? by
john
I have a Pilot Avionics PA400-3BL that needs to have the cable
replaced. Anyone have a suggestion on where to buy a replacement
cable or where to send it for repairs? Unless I overlooked it, their
website doesn't list any replacement parts or a repair service.
Thanks,

Portable oxygen systems by
C J Campbell
I am thinking of getting a portable oxygen system to use on the 206 and
other aircraft that I fly. These hot summer days with high density altitudes
in Idaho and Wyoming leave me gasping. Maybe it is just age.

Portable oxygen systems - recommendation sought by
Marc CYBW
Hello,
I am planning on crossing the Rockies next week at 8,500 ft. from CYBW to
CZBB via CYKA on the VFR footprint. But, just in case, it would be nice to
have a portable oxygen system at hand.
Any recommendations?
Thanks,

Portable radio scanners by
Casey Wilson
Dang It! I involuntarily gave away my trusty Radio Shack scanner a

store, I thought maybe I'd solicit suggestions and comments regarding a
different brand/model.
I want a scanner that, in addition to aviation VHF, will...
