I knew it. I should be staring at the Dynon.

Thanks for everything guys. I really appreciate this. I am 6'1". I am going to try a cushion. The sight picture problem is more related to the changing terrain of the San Diego area. Hills everywhere. The horizon is always changing. I thought about focusing on the artificial horizon, but that d...

You guys are great.

I think I am definitely over-controlling.

Need some help... I'm checking out on a Piper Sport and I'm having some trouble. Three dual hours and I don't have it yet. I'm having trouble holding attitude, altitude, and airspeed. I'm up and down like a (fill in your cliché here). I am doing this training at Palomar, near San Diego. The sight pi...

This is the plane that I rent.... A fixed-wing, single-engine plane carrying two men crashed Sunday morning at the edge of the Wright Brothers National Memorial in Kill Devil Hills. The 2006 Fantasy SRO Air Allegro 2000 crashed about 10:40 a.m. inside the park border, said Cyndy Holda, a National Pa...

Ok, I'll ask.

Does anyone have an opinion about what happened?

Thanks for the link, Frank. I did post a 'vote'...but noticed only 8 other folks had done so, so far. I'm sure these 'legislative view aggregators' can't do any harm, but a Congressperson is going to care more about constituent calls that come to their own offices (district office or DC) than aggre...

Popvox sends your comments to your legislators.

I just want to say, Pacific Coast Flyers, at Palomar Arpt, KCRQ, Carlsbad, CA, is a fine organization.

A decent size club with many aircraft on the line, including a presence at Ramona.

They have 2 LSA's on the line. They seem to be fully supportive of the Sport Pilot mission.

KCRQ

I signed up at Palomar to join the Pacific Coast Flyers. https://www.pcflyers.org/ I'm on another work trip to the Southwest.

They have 2 LSA's on the line, a Sport Cruiser and a Piper Sport.

Pirep to follow...

I know AAP are good people with motives that, in addition to profit for them, includes getting more people in the air. But... Eight pilots could buy a plane for less money with less restrictions. I don't see what value they add. "Flight Pro" and "Flight Tech," since they are not ...

Sorry I didn't make it.

It took a bit longer getting started on an unfamiliar plane. Then the GPS started giving me fits.

I stayed close to FFZ.

I'm in.

I'm renting the Skycatcher at Falcon and I'll be there around 10.

I'd very much like to meet you Mr. Lee and Mr. Nelson.

I'll head for the restaurant after landing.
