Dan, how are you planning to view the notebook in flight?
It's going to sit in the right seater's lap or on the seat if I'm
solo. If I need to look at it, I'll pick it up and "get the flick."
I tried using a Compaq Presario laptop (marginally bigger than
a notebook) in...

How many of you learned to fly from relatives? by
lardsoup
Go for it! I've had a few different instructors, but the two best ones were
both taught to fly by their Dads. So there must be some special about it.

I experienced radio interference several months ago when talking to
Razorback Approach (in the Ft. Smith, AR area) on 120.9 MHz. I contacted
the local Dallas FAA and indeed there was a problem. This led to meeting
the FAA engineer. The FAA engineer provided me a website set up for
educating and...

Sporty's Catalog by
Jeremy Lew
I don't think they've ever sold Lightspeeds. I saw one catalog (I think
AvShop) recently which had the entire line of Lightspeeds with the exception
of the QFR Cross Country (low-priced ANR). Interestingly, they featured a
"house brand" headset which looked very much like a rebranded version...

Actually, there are several styles.
The larger marine and aviation units tend to use that round plug. There

Hey Tom,
Remember N6183J, that Cherokee we took up to Cherry Ridge, PA? Alas, she is
no more. Just a fuselage sitting in the shop with the firewall forward torn
away, the right wing carry through destroyed, and a lot of damage to the
underside where the engine ended up. It's being stripped for...

Rare aircraft types by
Bob
I came across a photoguide to aircraft in the UK, it's not well advertised
so you may not have seen it. http://www.ukskies.co.uk. It's got hundreds
of aircraft types so it's worth a look.
Does anyone know of any other good sites?
