    For Sale FS: For the avionics tinkerers - Avidyne MFD

    For those that like to try and fix stuff, I have an Avidyne MFD I bought off eBay a while back, worked fine up until about a year ago, screen photos below. Fan is also noisy (humms louder than a regular one), probably out of balance, likely from the piece of plastic that is loose inside the...

    Anyone have an update on 48I Braxton County, WV?

    Phone numbers are disconnected and the website has been hacked (and tells you you’ve been hacked so sign up for this anti-virus app). Enterprise FBO group says now a private airport and can’t drop off cars there. Comments in FF as recent as May 26 say nothing about it, just fuel available and...

    For Sale Free! Homegrown Tug attachment for lawn tractors

    Free for the effort of picking it up! I built this trying to save a few bucks to attach to a lawn tractor as my tug. Works well on level ground but not suited for really steep slopes (I have a 5+deg slope going into the hangar). It will work best for castering nose wheels like Cirrus,Tigers...

    Texas mineral rights

    Your interest may or may not be saleable. It depends on what the deed says. I’d wager it’s not a divisible interest. You’ll spend more on an attorney to verify and negotiate than you’d get, I’d just keep cashing the checks until it amounts to something in the mid 5 figures. And this is neither...

    Enterprise FBO Program

    The attempt to collect for Sunday has happened once or twice but always cleared up when I explained. And I’ve never had to drop off at an office, just back where I picked it up, and they’ve not charged me for the extra day (with the noted exceptions). I’ve heard Avis has a similar deal as well...

    Lets make Friday 'Joke Day'!

    okay, one of us had to do it. Some versions we forgot including the racist “Cotton Picker”. And I was right about a red one, “Apple Crate” but no purple one back then. They apparently revived the line in 2020 and made a purple one then. https://bikehistory.org/bikes/krates/

    Cirrus for sale abundance

    My anecdotal observation is most but certainly not all of the ones on the market are later models with purchase prices pushing or exceeding $1m. That’s a big monthly nut, so with some industries slowing down, and the whole “things are fine for me but I hear there’s a recession coming “ so...

    I stand corrected. So what was it, Orange Crate? Wasn’t there a red one and maybe even a purple one too? you sound familiar, betting you shopped them all before selecting yellow!

    assuming he hit the ramp at 15mph or 22fps (a pretty good clip for a Schwinn), and the ramp is 30deg incline, add the induced lift from the “ahead of the times” Schwinn “Lemon Crate” steel tubing frame, but net out the added drag of the way cool hairdo, and gravity pulling down at 32.2 fps/sec...

    Lingering Anxiety After Returning to Flying

    Here’s my opinion, unburdened by any specific qualifications to give same: 1. Your story is not unique. Many have taken long sabbaticals. Mine was 25yrs. 2. I remember shortly after my restart feeling somewhat uncomfortable alone. Where am I going? Why am I up here? What if something goes...

    Comfortable Ownership?

    Most any plane, wholly owned, is going to cost you at least $25-30k to own annually. It goes up from there. Search is your friend.

    Any tips for finding a doc that will do BasicMed?

    A. AOPA has a list of Basic Med docs in your area, that’s how I found mine. B. It may be urban legend, but the story I heard on the requirement for a DRE was due to a certain senator in Florida that didn’t like GA, in fact was one of the types that moves in next to an airport and complains...
