Re: Terrafugia Transition for real this time?
Way too many compromises just to get "flying car" bragging rights IMHO.

Re: Comparing S-LSA to E-LSA insurance rates
Clearly a negligible increase, Stan. But, what's your insurance up to now? Paul, the latest (May, 2020) was $1,415. No claims, no accidents, incidents, or pilot deviations ever. I think being 78 years old may have something to do with the increase. I'm a little over a year from being 80 and will pr...

Re: Fountain pens in an aircraft?
I use a Fisher Space Pen while flying. It always writes (unless it runs out of ink) and has never leaked.

Re: Bristell NG5 Taildragger Option
Congratulations, Paul!!!
That's totally awesome. Just looking at it makes me want to run out and get a tailwheel endorsement.

Re: Hello from Chicago area
Welcome, Will; that sounds like a great plan.
There are several Chicago area members on here as well as members who hold CFI-S and LSRM certificates.

Re: Comparing S-LSA to E-LSA insurance rates
I converted my Zodiac from S-LSA to E-LSA in November, 2016. Same insurer, same coverage, annual premium before and after:
Before converting: $826
After converting: $924

Re: Point & Shoot Camera
Brand new 5x optical zoom for $87 sounds like a no brainer. I'm interested in a PIREP after you've had a chance to use it.

Re: There's so much smoke here in California!
Well , both high winds and power lines have been there for many, many decades - how come this problem now requires rolling blackouts ? Politics are verboten here, so I won't get into what I believe are all the reasons, but one reason that's not too political is the blatant negligence of PG&E to...

Re: There's so much smoke here in California!
Yesterday in the San Francisco Bay Area the sky was orange and mid-day looked more like sunset; visibility was maybe a mile. Ash from the fires covered my car so it looked like a ghost. I had parked in my driveway instead of my garage because of a planned 32 hour long power outage by Pacific Gas &am...

Re: Point & Shoot Camera
That is more than I am willing to pay and is too feature-rich for me. Please tell me more about the Casio. The Casio was a 5 Megapixel Exilim EX-Z55 with a 3x optical zoom. Sadly, Casio got out of the digital camera business so the only ones I can find online are used but priced in the $50 - $100 r...

Re: Point & Shoot Camera
Yes, but it's not cheap and quite a bit more versatile than the cheapies. I replaced a stolen Casio point-and-shoot with a Sony DSC-HX-80. It's now my "go to" camera for just about everything. 30x optical zoom, Zeiss lens, 21 Megapixels. Price is around $370. HD video. https://www.dpreview...

Re: Sport Pilot Initial Need?
The only circumstance when you'd need to get an FAA medical certificate to fly exercising the privileges of a sport pilot is if you previously applied for an FAA medical certificate and had your most recent FAA medical certificate or application denied, revoked, withdrawn, or suspended by the FAA.
