Question to all who use Lightspeed headsets. I have been using Avcom headsets for the last 4 years. Only complaint is the pressure on the ears, even with GEL cups. How do you like Lightspeed? Pro and Con. What is the best model for the best cost? How do you rate the reliability? Where is cheapest...

"I can teach anyone how to get what they want out of life. The problem is I can't find anybody who can tell me what they want." -- Mark Twain "Today people in America can become whatever they want. Trouble is most don't know what they want." -- Earl Nightingale What do you want? Are you sick of the...

My Top Two votes: 1. Up the Mississippi River valley from Savannah, IL north to LaCrosse, WI. With this sudden, early cold snap, the colors in the Midwest have abruptly changed, and I imagine the flight past the bluffs that mark the confluence of the Wisconsin and Mississippi Rivers will be even...

Any opinions on the best websites for mobile users? duat.com is WAY to expensive because of the graphics (probably 10Kbytes just to load the title). duats.com is better but still has a lot of crap on the opening page. Does anyone know of a good site (modeled after something like mobile.espn.com or...

My nomination for best improvement at Airventure this year? The Orion trucks driving around the North 40 selling ice! God bless 'em!

If you had bought $1000 of Nortel stock one year ago, it would now be worth $49.00. With Enron, you would have $16.50 of the original $1000. With Worldcom, you would have less than $5.00 left. If you had bought $1,000.00 worth of Miller Lite (the beer, not the stock) one year ago, drank all the...

Just going up for dinner Wed. night, was thinking maybe the 94th Aero Squadron. Is there transient parking adjacent or a short walk away? Landing/ramp fees?

My partner and I are talking about offer a 1/3 of our Mooney to the Sacramento area to keep the hours up on it. What web sites would the group recommend we post the offering on? Barnstormers, ??? We've thought about trade-a-plane but it doesn't seem to be the place people go to to look for...

I decided awhile ago I'd like to get a PDA (preferred) or perhaps a small tablet for in-cockpit GPS moving map and satellite weather and a backup, emergency-only AI as well (not a simple GPS AI but a real solid-state gyro). After days of research I can't seem to find a single system that...

http://tinyurl.com/37qd8w For those who may be in the market for a decent pilot watch, this Timex Expedition is the best one I could find with all the features I wanted, for a reasonable ($54) price. It's got dual (actually triple) time with Zulu time accessible at the push of a button, countdown...

My trusty Timex Expedition has finally died, after years of faithful service. Although it had many features I liked, it was missing a few things that would be nice in the plane. (Zulu time, for example.) What's the group-think on this? What watch do you wear/recommend? -- Jay Honeck Iowa City,...

After constantly struggling with a heavy nose in several aircraft it occurred to me that having a fat pilot in front and nothing else was moving the CG forward. I put some weight in back and moved the CG further back over the wings, and handling improved greatly. Is there a way (other than...

Hi folks, If you want to learn to fly and have half a year or more to take off and live anywhere in the USA, where would you go to learn to fly? I ask this because I have the opportunity in 2006 to live anywhere (preferably in the US) to fulfill a dream I've had since I was 5. I am 25 years old...

I vote for Iowa City! This just in: "'Kiplinger's Personal Finance' ranked Iowa City 10th in its top 50 'Smart Places to Live' list. The rankings are based on cost of living, homes, crime, health care, climate, environment and education." :-) --

I'll be flying a VFR-only plane from Charlotte to Lexington next weekend, and I'm in the process of planning the best route to cross the mountains. The sectionals should arrive in a couple of days, but in the mean time I'm looking at the route, and the elevations appear lower in the route from...

I just spent the weekend Web surfing for weather on my Treo. Suprisingly, even ADDS works pretty well. But my question - what's the best free site for picking up METARS, TAFs and perhaps even Nexrad images on a Web enabled phone? Limited bandwidth and limited screen size.

I can't get enough of liveatc.net and airportmonitor.com.... Any other cool stuff out there ? Someday when Im rich, I'll learn to fly. Until then Im stuck to listening and watching. I wish Salt Lake had a internet feed.

I miscalculated my health benefits. I expected to have to pay cash for my medical and for some diagnostic tests that I needed to have to get the medical, but my HMO ended up picking up all of it. So I have a signficant surplus in my healthcare flexible spending account that I must spend by the end...
