Hey just a thought, technology is always changing. I don't know if designing a whole panel around an iPad would be worth the time and money. We use a pivot iPad case and mount from fly boys. We use it at work in a 737 and works great. You can stick it anywhere you want and if the technology changes ...

Hey thanks for touching base. I am at Naked Lady now. We should try and meet up some time in the near future. I met a new friend at treasure coast airpark and I have my name on the list in Indian town. But I have a good deal at naked lady. Would be fun to meet up. Pm me, we currently live in Hobe So...

Hello, and congrats on the new plane. I don't live in Denver NC anymore but my parents do. :D My wife and 2 boys fly up there every few months from Stuart FL and visit in our 170b. I learned to fly at Lake Normal air park and we normally fly into there for our visits. It would be fun to meet up the ...

Thanks for the info. I decided if it's not broken don't fix it for now but I will keep an eye on it. It's running great right now but it's good to know the information. Good luck with your annual.

Hey guys thanks for the thoughts. After talking to my mechanic more we both agree its not something that needs to be done now. However, he said to start to budget for one in the future. Its not been overhauled, according to the logs since 1980. With the overhaul I get a single venturi, and new bette...

Hey guys, fishing for thoughts, two cents. It's my second annual with 49C and have a Marvel MA-3SPA P/n 10-3237 installed. Mechanic is going to do the AD to inspect the Venturi but there is no record of it EVER being overhauled. He recommends sending it off for rebuild and said it comes back with mo...

Thanks for the post gahorn. I agree with with you that all the talk about props might be on par with an engine oil discussion. Which from some of the posts I have read on that topic get very spirited. :D My big picture question has been is there significant performance differences between a climb pr...

This discussion on props has not answered my question. So I will try to ask it again from a different angle. I understand all the aerodynamics and fully understand all the variables that go into takeoff performance. So my question is this: If I could wave my magic wand and put two identical 170s wit...

I also have read a lot of posts on climb props versus cruise props. My question is this... I totally get the aerodynamics and theory of all the discussions but what are the real world takeoff numbers between the two props. I have read a lot that the cruise prop give you 5 to 10 mph in cruise but how...

I have the house for sale and my wife, 2 boys, and I are moving from ATL to the Stuart FL area. I currently have a hanger and only pay $205 a month. I am very concerned about being able to find a hanger in the Stuart area for a reasonable rate. I called the Stuart Airport and they want almost $600 +...

Awesome video!! It's rainy and foggy here at the house today so it's nice to get away for a few minutes and get excited about the next beautiful day to go flying.

We originally went to Walmart when my first son was born and bought a pair of ear muffs that where designed for shooting. We would put them on him at the house and let him get used to wearing them from time to time. Once he got a little older around the 5 6 month mark we researched the child headset...

I have a friend that has a open cockpit biplane and we got the idea from him. We ordered the helmet through aircraft spruce and thought it was going to solve our hearing protection issues. It worked really well because we could tighten it down and he could not pull it off. Well he finally learned ho...

Hello! This is my first time to make a post to this forum, however I have been lurking in the background since I bought 1949C last April. My wife and I are both pilots and we recently went to the Chilly Chili fly-in at Triple Tree Aerodrome in SC. We took our two boys, a three week old newbie on his...
