I've bought a lot of stuff on Ebay, but I've never sold before -- until now. After a friend received over $200 for his BROKEN transponder (he was bluntly honest in the ad, saying it was basically a "box of parts"), I decided to try selling the wind-up clock I just removed from my panel. It's not...

It looks like I didn't get any hits on the Florida bar with the Beech Musketeer sticking out of it, so I imagine it must not be there anymore. I scanned my old pic and put it on my website. I think this would really stand out on a hotel located next to an airport...

Please read this. This is what's killing GA and we ought to do something about it. http://www.cdapress.com/articles/2005/02/08/news/news04.prt and this http://www.news4jax.com/news/4269212/detail.html#

They announced they were shutting it down on Monday. Supposedly it's going to reopen in about "4 to 6" weeks. In the mean time they say they're going to "upgrade" it but they haven't decided what software because their lawyers are looking at ways to tighten up the rules and protect them. This came...

You might want to write to Rick Santorum and tell him why this is such a bad idea: http://www.palmbeachpost.com/news/content/news/epaper/2005/04/21/m1a_wx_0421.html Essentially, Accuweather has paid Sen. Rick Santorum to put this bill through the Senate, to force the NWS/NOAA to take a great...

After landing in Deland, FL just last month (on our way to Titusville, Florida), and witnessing the almost unbelievable sky-diving activity there, it came as no surprise to read that there was a fatal accident there a couple of days ago. I was especially saddened to see that the man who was killed...

As some of you know, six weeks ago I was diagnosed with high blood pressure, and was prescribed medication. Although the medicine the doc gave me WAS on the FAA's list of "approved" drugs, the mere act of taking such a drug would set into motion all sorts of things regarding obtaining future...

Ok, so say you are post-solo and approved to perform stalls OR you are a private pilot. Is it smart to go out and practice stalls on a normal basis? For proficiency and for fun? Or are stalls something you should only being doing for training? I would like to hear from both pilots and...

Okay, I've decided to start on my commercial, and after looking at 61.129 I have painfully accepted the fact that the 300nm cross country really needs to be vfr, solo. That means long trips I've done on instrument flight plans (imc or vmc) won't cut it, and more painfully, long trips I've done with...

Congradulations Jay for getting mentioned in the 11 January Wall Street Journal! As the saying goes any press is good press!

As a segue from off airport landings....how about precision? Can you consistently touch down at minimum speed with your regular aircraft within a 50' mark? Can you do it with a short/soft/XW/ Obstacle? Can you do it with any configuration of flaps and or power? OK....got an electrical failure that...

http://www.airnav.com/airport/KMCD My favorite airport is the airport on top of Mackinac Island. It's at the very top of a picturesque island between lakes Michigan and Huron. There are always ferries traveling the straights, and they have a type of ferry that shoots water straight up in a...

Any one have any information on the IV-P that went down around 2:00 PM about 30 miles west of Lansing MI on Monday? There was a story in the paper, but it was a bit short on details. It was registered to Ward Synthesis Inc. The flight was to be from Ypsilanti MI to Billings Mont. Roger Halstead...

Sure -- the ONE time in my life I want to fly to Superior, WI, in the middle of absolutely no where Wisconsin, to visit the Bong Museum (BOTH kids are at camp -- heh, heh) -- and the President of the United States chooses TODAY to visit Duluth, MN. Right across the bridge from Superior... It's a...

I am looking into purchasing my own plane... I think that I am pretty aware of the costs (as much as a non-owner can be). I would like to hear from those of you who have unfortunately have had a bad (expensive or otherwise)experience with a plane purchase. I will also post for good experiences. ...

What is an Air Force plane doing on a carrier??? "Todd Pattist" wrote in message ... I thought some of you might like to see our new stealth fighter: The plane in these pictures is still officially Air Vehicle ...

Coming back from Pella (near Des Moines) today we over-flew a poor sap who was apparently sitting on his microphone. Worse, he had the incredible misfortune of being the last person in a flight of three to land, and while they landed ahead of him he gave a long, critical, and quite profane...

I have an old Square D Kollsman 3 pointer altimeter that I think it's about 50 or more years old and seems to be in working condition. The body is about 2 13/16 diameter. The label on the back says part no. 371K-05 The three altitude pointers give the usual altitude readout. The little Kollsman...
