Yesterday, I squirted some on the PIK canopy and immediately started polishing. To my dismay some patches seemed...

Hi, every now and then, we all have this chore of updating the flight book and the pilot log book with these hard to calculate hours and minutes. So several years ago, I made a web page for that. But that was even cumbersome, so now I have made an Android app for it, minimizing the number of key...

An article by Tracie Cone of the Associated Press was published in our local newspaper and it questioned if Personal Locator Beacons gives us a sense of security that allows us to push onwards, where otherwise we might not. From her article: "Now you can go into the back country and take a risk...

Does anyone have a template or detailed instructions to make and apply the gap seal between flaperon and fuselage which many have told me I should have on my LS3?
