Hi all, I will be in the Oklahoma City/Moore area for three weeks in Oct. and would like to do some flyin'. Any suggestions on where to rent (or not to)? Most convenient would probably be OUN Norman Westheimer, followed by Wiley Post, or Perry in Noble. Or does anyone want a flyin buddy ? ...

My 2-year old WxWorx receiver wouldn't power up in the airplane weekend-before-last. Investigation showed the fuse blown in the DC power adapter. I replaced the fuse and the new one promptly blew. I sent the receiver and the power adapter back to WxWorx for repair the following Monday (8/22). ...

Well, after lingering in these groups for a while and dreaming about the day I could start flight lessons I think that day is finally here. I made a trip out to the local FBO to figure out what exactly the next step is and more specifically how I go about choosing a flight instructor. It turns...

Local radio reports a plane down alongside I-70 on Vail Pass, Colorado -- elevation 11,000 feet. Anyone hear something about this? Seth N8100R

I'm planning a trip from Palo Alto to Las Vegas, landing at Henderson Exec (closest airport to where we are staying). I'll be flying in a Saratoga. I'd like to benefit from other's experiences. In particular: 1) Best route from PAO to Henderson? 2) Best arrival procedure through Las Vegas...

Hi all, I'm about to take the first leap into learning to fly by choosing an instructor. I've heard good reports about the folks at squadron2 at reid Hillview and was wondering if any of you could recommend a particular instructor (and reasons why). I'd appreciate any feedback you can give...

My #2 VOR is the older analog King head feed by a KX-170B. It likes to get out of adjustment. The local radio shop has told me I should get the screw driver and adjust it myself off the VOT. If you remove the set screw that holds the knob on, there is an adjustment screw behind it. However, the...

Anyone out there have a remote channeling kit (#03312-0501) for a Narco DME 190 they are willing to part with? If so email me and lets talk. (it attaches to the back of the tray not the receiver) Jim

I've seen two basic gizmos for tying down a plane in the bush: something that looks like a corkscrew, and something that looks like and auger. Which one is best, and why? thanks tom

Background... newly minted PPL, looking to ease navigation via GPS. I actually find it cool to navigate via maps, compass and timepiece, but I realize there is a lot more capability out there. I'll be renting for awhile, so portability is important. I've done the standard research (including...

I'm flying STS (Santa Rosa CA) to RNT (Renton WA, near Seattle), VFR direct in early September. This takes me over some (7000 ft) hills with higher terrain nearby, but in most cases the valley is not far away. I'm thinking of crusing at about 8500 (unless the wind is strong, in which case I'll go...

My Flying subscription ran out years ago for all the usual reasons. As I watched the subscription offers that littered my mailbox drop from $20, then to $15, and finally $10 a year, I just couldn't stand it anymore. I had to give Flying another try. I mean, for $10, how could I lose? My...

At Oshkosh, I was noticing that DC3s have a little half-height door behind and below the pilot's seat, and about one, maybe two hairs forward of the left prop. There's a good picture on this ebay auction (scroll...

Walking out to my plane yesterday, I had the opportunity to walk through a number of A/C to get to mine. I passed a Mooney (looked like a 201) and realized that the width of the prop blades was significant... It was much wider than my fixed pitch Sensenich, wider than the blades on the Bonanza...

There was a Fly-In breakfast this morning at Mankato. The local TV news did a spot on it (http://www.keyc.tv/article/view/80628/). Now THIS is the type of publicity that GA needs!

I've been absent from this group for quite a while due to distraction from non-aviation activities. Here's one: http://home.maine.rr.com/rlma/Titanic.htm -- Roger Long

I just completed an offer for this Ipod 60 GB photo. My friend keeps teasing me and waving his new ipod in my face! You only spend $0.99 to get it! You just sign up on the site and then complete a promotion (It is only $0.99 if you do the Rhapsody offer and you get instant points for the offer and...
