Sport Pilot Talk

I have a ADS-B Raspberry PI setup at my home. The most interesting thing I notice is all the planes that are out there sending transponder data, but no location data. Even if I had my setup running in the plane, I would only track location for about 1/4 what is out there. Not much help if its a part...

I studied very hard and was frustrated at my results. Thought I had it aced and basically got a b-. Totally freaked when I had no idea of the answers to the first 3 questions. things settled down from there. I took the sport Pilot test and I think some things from the Private Pilot were in there, st...

Once you rent for one second everything becomes very costly and complicated....

One other note on renting, We don't all fly 152 and 172's which was the norm 10 years ago. I was going on a trip and saw that a close airport had a LSA for rental and though it might be fun to take it out and check out some new scenery. The FBO stated I would need 5 hours of checkout time in THAT pl...

I have to agree with Deltafox. When I first got my Sport ticket, I rented and it was a pain. You are under strict timelines, weather issues, rental conflicts, etc. If you had a rental plane 15 minutes away and you knew you always had an opening, it might be a fair comparison. I was able to purchase ...

I thougth you still needed clearance to fly over a class C airport?

So i was looking at upgrading my gps, but this whole ads thing throws a wrench into things. I have a transponder in my plane, so i assume overall that makes me more visable in general even though i dont ever fly in b or c airspace. With the huge costs to implement a comparable (and legal) system to ...

I wear skater shoes because they have flat bottoms and always contact the rudder pedals the same, ohh and they are comfy!

I used Remos 474SW the last time I used Flight following in Central Wisconsin, no questions from ATC. I lso land at OSH but they have a couple Remos airplanes based there so they are probably famliar with them.

I think they also forgot Allegro and Cheetah XLS

I just did my Remos rubber replacement, my mehcanic used standard in stock parts for some items, I assisted and it took 2.5 days, costs below not including my time. I think it will go quicker next time... Sun, Apr 1 2012 5 year Rubber Replacement April 1 2012 Maintenance -$1,470.46 Edit Sun, Apr 1 2...

Cool, Thanks Rodger, I can fly in to leading edge!...

Does anyone have any info on providing a factory reset on the flydat units? Since I have my plane running nice and in spec I would like to more actively monitor the data alerts, I would be willing to pay shipping if there is some device needed.

Thanks

I just had my fuel pump fail in my Remos G3, I dont have a fuel pressure indicator but baciscally my engine lost all power, when I pulled out then pushed in the power, the engine would surge, then, then drop back to idle. When I switched on my power fuel pump everything went back to normal. I also h...

any remos or ctsw owners have a good way to remove the exhust residue from the body?
thanks
