Re: Ideas for a yoke mounted Push to Talk

If it's a refurbish, can you move the radio? I used a Velcro mounted PTT. Not elegant, but works. I agree with gahorn, don't drill the yoke.

Re: FLYING EMAIL

The 747 Dream Lifter hauls 787 fuselages from Spirit Aerosystems (formerly Boeing) to Seattle for assembly. Similar to the Super Guppy of the Saturn 5 days.

Hey, those dimples will make it fly farther and straighter - like a Titleist.

Re: New member

Waterboy, welcome! As a new person, myself, I can tell you first hand this is a very welcoming association.

Nice job of dodging the red/green question. It was a set-up; TIC170A version of hazing, I think.

Harry's Cafe - Lakeville, MN

I didn't fly here, but stopped by while on business in Lakeville. http://www.eatatharrys.com/ What first got my attention was the P-40 flying through their sign on the highway. The motif of this slightly upscale restaurant is totally aviation. Atmosphere, wait staff and food are all excellent. It's ...

Re: To buy or not to buy

I must be a lucky stiff. I bought two airplanes by looking them over and talking to the owner - a 1946 Champ and a 1947 Stinson Voyager. I might have had a mechanic do a prepurchase on the Stinson, but it was 1500 miles away. It doesn't hurt to be thourough, but if an airplane is going to burn you, ...

Re: Omaha to Camarillo, Ca route suggestions???

I bought a Stinson in Vancouver, WA and flew it back to Wichita down Oregon and California, then picked up I-40 across AZ and NM and up Hwy 54 into KS. It was May and I was concerned about late snow, so headed south. I made the trip in two days and it was a great trip. I don't know about Winslow, bu...
