Re: SportPilotTalk.com Shutting Down in August

Hi Guys - thanks for the donations, we're up to $105. Sorry about the email glitch. I didn't want to change my account to a sportpilottalk.com email address because I will lose access to that if the site shuts down. However I was able to add a secondary email. I thought I had already done that :roll...

Re: SportPilotTalk.com Shutting Down in August

Well guys, no word from the potential buyer. I asked that the transfer be complete this week but no response. If you would like to pitch in for another 3 year hosting renewal please donate via PayPal to gerald@sportpilottalk.com. If we fail to raise close to $300 the server will likely shut down aro...

SportPilotTalk.com Shutting Down in August

Hi Folks - The SportPilotTalk.com hosting plan is coming up for renewal in August and quite frankly I think it is time to shut down. The renewal fee is $314 for 3 years. Interest in the sport pilot certificate and light sport aircraft never really took off (no pun intended) and this forum gets very ...

SportPilotTalk Policy on Politics

Dear SportPilotTalk Members - In recent days we have seen an increase of political views here on the forum. This is not the place to discuss politics. Let's leave that to Facebook, Twitter or other platforms that do not relate to why SportPilotTalk.com was created - to allow for discussion about the...

Re: Did the look of the forum just change...

It's now under the "Quick Links" button, just below the logo. To answer your question, no, nothing is easy with this software (but it's free, so I really shouldn't complain) :mrgreen:

Re: Did the look of the forum just change...

Yup, upgraded to version 3.1. It needed it. It is now fully responsive, which means it looks great regardless of what device you're using to look at it - even your smartphone! I tried to install the Tapatalk extension but it didn't work. I did add a new Youtube feature, now you can embed Youtube vid...

Re: Possible Malware on this forum

Unfortunately there will always be hackers and there will always be attacks. Every PC should be protected. I use the free and excellent Panda Cloud Antivirus software. There is only a tiny little bit of software that resides on your machine and all of the main computing is done "in the cloud.&q...

Re: Possible Malware on this forum

This issue should be fixed. I requested Google to review it for a change in status. Unfortunately this website is powered by free "open source" software. That means the code is readily available for exploit. The site also runs on a shared server which means that if one website on the serve...

Gerald, that rule applies to Parts 121 and 135. Most.of us operate under Part 91, so yes, the iPad is legal in flight. I would still recommending turning off 3G or 4G in flight, but GPS is fine. The FCC rule applies to everybody, you can't use a cellular device airborne. Now if you have a GPS anten...

I do believe that both the FCC and FAA ban the use of wireless devices on airplanes. That would include using an iPad (unless in "airplane mode") since it operates on the cellular network: http://www.fcc.gov/guides/wireless-devices-airplanes The problem is that the wireless device while ai...
