I currently have a 150hp Piper TriPacer that I've upgraded pretty well but I'm beginning to feel the need for a larger airplane. Not necessarily a huge step up in speed and range but more in room and stability. It's hard to fit two larger fellows into a TriPacer even if the weight isn't...

An aircraft I just purchased has a panel mounted II Morrow Apollo 820 panel mounted GPS. The unit is fully functional and might just come in handy some day. Is there anyplace I could get an updated database? Thanks Paul

What are you older chaps paying for insurance? I just turned 68 and am wonder if I'm going to have a hard time getting insurance in a year or two.

I've noticed stall strips installed on a number of low wing aircraft. However I've never noticed them installed on a high wing. How come? Is there something inherent in the design of a high wing that insures the stall starts at the wing root? Or perhaps they're out there and I've just not...
