Cash is King? Not in my book. I bought an airplane once and the seller wanted cash. Getting $80K from the bank was a pain. For him to deposit $80K...

Vividia VA-150. It has its own screen. Two way articulating camera end. $179 on Amazon. Having an articulating tip is a big deal. I have another...

My 180’s battery has been on the firewall for over 20 years. I'd owned the plane for 3-4 years before the change. There’s no down side that I’ve...

For the last 10 days the TX temps have averaged around 70° higher than my AK home temps. And some folks wonder why people snowbird? I’m not a...

I agree with the seller. Avoid interpretation. As is, where is. If my IA says good? Good enough.

All it replaces is breakers. My panel has lots of breakers while elpcub’s Vertical Power equivalent had almost none. FWIW, if you add a GDL your...

The G3X works with Vertical Power. Garmin engineers prefer independent circuit breakers but I think the install manual mentions Vertical Power and I...

All you need for trim is a string potentiometer at the jackscrew. The G3X will indicate it. You can set ticks for limits or favorite trim positions.

Looking back at my projects the worst “miss” was not adding provisions for cargo tie-downs in the baggage area in my old -12 prior to powder coat....

Probably a motor to operate the jackscrew like Bill Rusk’s. That’s not a bad way to go. I’d like to find a way to do it on a Skywagon.

FWIW, the weight of the motor doesn’t change how my door fits. My left side window is top hinged and it doesn’t change, either. Hopefully you...

I’ve sold a thousand miles of Pemko self-stick and if the surface is clean, it sticks. Mine’s holding like the day I stuck it on.

I placed mine on the door frames. The long leaf is showing wear at the sill from my butt dragging on it getting in and out. Even with chunks missing...

Are you using a linear actuator or a motor to spin a conventional jackscrew?

New Holland TC-30 w/backhoe and loader. Very handy tool. Had an old Kubota prior. Taught my nephew how to drive a stick with that tractor. Fond...

I did. 8# of short ribs, avocados, fresh tortillas, etc so we can feed Barbacoa Tacos to our guests who come over to watch Texas A&M vs LSU (I LOVE...

No ski flying until late February-ish. I still need to figure how to attach to TK-1 gear but I think welding Trick Air brackets can be done,...

Thank you for the disparaging comments. It reinforces everything I’ve come to dislike about the website. Mike was right. Social media really does...

If you can’t tell a good Cub from a bad one by looking at it? Hire someone who can. If you want to know how good a Cub flies? Let the seller demo it...

Bivy INSIDE the bag? Would that be a bag liner? I use bag liners for all seasons mostly to keep my sleeping bags cleaner. For a bivy? I've had a few...

Both apps are great. Which one you prefer usually comes down to which you’re familiar with using. Like a Garmin GPS it takes time and practice to...

Sil tarp, parachute cord, and trekking poles. Wrap up in the wind, make a rain shelter, or add some totanium stakes and make a tent. Good for day...

Sure. Doing **** wrong on an airplane usually works out, right? Have at it. I had the chance to buy the right thing or wrong thing. Easy decision.

Headlamps. Book nerd or wild land wonderer. Always useful.

Best. Combo. Ever.

A 37° flaring tool is $125 from Spruce. Simple to use and pretty much fool-proof.
