Several pilots found themselves in a debate at our field yesterday. The issue is weather it is safer to move the propeller on a (parked) aircraft in the direction of usual engine rotation, or opposite usual rotation. This is assuming that the propeller needs to move for some reason. The...

Why? The first race to the moon, and that's exactly what it was, got us braggin rights, a few hundred pounds of rocks, some great technology for terrestrial applications (that probably could have evolved anyway), and?? I'm old enough to have watched it all on the boob tube as an adult, and was...

What's the best way to fly a zero G parabola? My kids are hooked on them and they're actually learning some science from it. I'd like to get a little more duration without getting too fast. I usually do a little climb until the speed bleeds off some and then push over firmly. Should I pull the...

In a Cessna 150, anyone know where I can find replacement fuses? It's Bussman AGS 20 (for 20 amp). Thanks

I just wanted to know how much it can carry, and how much does it cost. Thanks

Ahh... I forget. Airnav beats 100LL hands down with mogas pricing. Airnav shows mogas on Airnav, but 100LL.com doesn't. 100LL.com doesn't list Portage either. Are there any other fuel price sites? Sorry if my posts are out of "sync", but what is up with the groups? My ISP's news server is dead...

Haven't used DUATS in quite awhile as I've just been doing local flights, but I tried it yesterday adn I can't get anything out of it. I enter the script for an area brief and when I hit the send button, I get connected, but it comes up with a line that asks for my password or last name. I have...

I was thinking low wing planes would be favorable for landing on a grass strip, because the extra ground effect could mitigate hard landings and keep the ride smooth. But I recently read that some fields are rough enough that rocks, bushes and debris can hit or snag on the flaps. I'm interested...
