Rent plane from another private pilot? by
GEG
I'm about 15 flight hours along in flight training.
My buddy is about 30 hours along and rounding the bend.
He's going to buy a plane - just part of his overall goal.
So here's a question:
(Let's assume I get a my PPL and checkout in the plane
and everything is cool .. .)

Biplane wing dihedral by
vincent p. norris
Friend of mine said at lunch today that the upper wings of biplanes
have no dihedral. Hementioned specificlaly the Stearman PT-17.
I believe he was mistaken. I know the Sopwith Camel upper wing was
flat but I think the PT-17 and most other biplanes have dihedral in
both wings.
Any expert...

TRT-250 manual by
Juan Jimenez
I have an old TRT-250 transponder maintenance manual, for the ORIGINAL
analog TRT-250 (not the 250D digital version). This transponder is no longer
supported by Free Flight Systems and I suspect few shops take them in for
repair, as some of the parts are simply not available (most importantly,...

Cockpit visit by
Icarus
Greetings to all.
I have run into a discussion whose answer is not clear. The question,
especially since 9/11, and its variant is:
Can passengers on commercial flights, during the flight, visit the
flightdeck (with captain's
permission, of course!)?
Essentially, is it the FAA or IATA that makes...

Cessna 152 Rudder trim adjustment? by
GEG
Hi Folks,
I'm a low-time (10 hour) student pilot.
I took my first flights in my school's 152 about 2 years ago, then had
an 18-month wait for various reasons.
When I first flew the plane, I don't remember the right rudder being
such an issue (I flew 3 times 2 years ago).
Now, the right rudder...

problem with the weight distribution on the aircraft wings, and we
