Ed- ditch the Win8 and install 8.1 immediately. Particularly if she has a non-touchscreen laptop. Trust me, she will thank you for it.

I have windows 8 what is 8.1,I keep getting pop ups to get free windows 10.Is this a scam or should I keep windows 8.Larrys right windows 8 is crazy stupid.Randy

Randy,  the way I copied and pasted things is to left click on the mouse and drag it across what you want to  copy.  That will highlite what you drug over.  Then right click, and a box will pop up and one of the options is copy.  Left click copy.   Then go back to your message, right click on the message and again a box will show up.  Left click paste, and what you copied on the other site will show up.   (it's magic ;-) )  Anyway that's what works for me.  If for some reason you highlited to much or to little, you can left click and the highlite goes away, and you can start over.  If you want to save or transfer the address of a web site you are at, you can do this as well. Hope my explanation makes sense.  Jim Chuk

Thanks Jim,I'll give it a whirl next time.Randy

I agree its probably not gospel but in my case I was at the DARs mercy.When he did my AW inspection the FAA inspector showed up also,he was doing a spot inspection on the DAR so I was double whammyed. Everything passed except the ELT,if I hadnt put one in at all I may have been ok but since I did it needed to have the remote.Your right about the 406 type just wish they would come down in price a little.Probably not a item to be a tight ass about but sure seems like they are really overpriced compared to other electronic gizzmos.Randy

Im not a computer guy so I dont know how to attach websites but here is a DAR checklist for requirments to pass inspection.#14 on checklist shows a elt with a remote switch as a requirment.Hopefully this helps.Randy

When I had my Skyraider inspected everything passed but the used ELT that I had put in.The DAR put my inspection on hold until the following weekend telling me to put in the new elt with the remote switch.The old ones are legal on a certified plane as thats how they were equipt at the time.He told me on a homebuilt he could not sign off with the old style without remote switch.Of course I had to pay 250.00 for him to come back the next weekend.I never found anywhere where I had to have the new style otherwise I would have already had it in there.If I were you I would call a DAR and find out for sure to save you the same hassle that I went through.Let us all know what you find out so I will know if I got screwed.Im getting kind of used to that.Randy

Getting ready to install an ELT prior to the AW inspection.  Just looking for functional and low cost, preferrably without needing to add an external ant.  Just need to check the box.

 

Any thoughts?

 

Possibly this one, thought it looks like it needs a permanent external ANT installed?  If so, can the antenna stay within the confines of the fuselage?

This is the one I got for my Skyraider,it has the remote switch that is required and as far as ANT, you can mount under fuselage if you need to,they hardly stick down.Dont buy an old elt that doesnt have the remote switch or it will not pass.Randy

Happy Birthday Joey,Have a great day.Randy

Tig welding 4130 is stronger and better looking, The bolt throughs are also 4130 just a thicker wall. Randy

A person can get alot done if your having fun.Looks good.Randy

Im with Larry on this one,I too am sick of all the ad crap on this stuff.I havent figured out why we hold our sports people to higher standards than our Congress even our President.They are all a bunch of overpaid assholes that will buy their way out of any trouble they get into.But the people that make these stupid ads could give a rats ass about anyone but themselves, so it is a bunch of hypocrisy.Randy

I also agree,Happy Thanksgiving everyone.Randy

I would call a local DAR or FSDO and ask what is envolved. With the 51 percent rule not sure how that works on a decertified  bird.You would have to have it reinspected  and then would apply for a new N number.Good Luck Randy

Just wanted to say thanks to all the Vets,Guys and Gals, past and present, for serving our Country.You all have made this still the best Country to live in. Randy

Nice,Those old planes are awesome. We had some Smoke jumpers here this Summer and the Forest Service had a couple of the Old DC 3,s I think, converted and I went to Airport and watched them.They were converted to turbines and performed unreal.Thanks for the pics.Randy

Heard about it Joey,sorry you had to witness that.Thoughts and prayers go out to the families.Glad you made it home ok and thanks for putting on the good pics for us.Hang in there buddy.Randy

I dont get on here much Ed in the Summer because of my work schedule,but when I do I get a kick out of reading your stuff.Everyone on here contributes in their own way from their own experiences.Thats why this is the only forum I do anymore.I dont know how to do the friend thing on here but I enjoy your post.Randy

Hope it works out for you,we have a couple fires here already also and my son lives in Northern Arizona and they also have some fires.Good luck Leni.Randy

You got me too,here I was feeling all happy for you and now you still have to work.Oh well at least you got some new tires.Randy

Good for you,may they all be smooth ones.Randy

I did that once with my radio controlled plane,had to climb the tree to get it down.Glad no one was hurt in this one.Randy

I think so Ed,they will treat it like a LSA,which if you have a drivers license you should qualify.Im all for it,theres too many people like me that have to stress about passing a FAA physical,even though Im healthy there are some things that just start going bad as we get older. I have enough common sense to not fly if Im not well.Hope it passes.Randy

Looks good Joey,see you at the strip.Randy

The people that voted for him will get whats coming . To bad their bringing all of the common sense people down with them.John Wayne quoted '' Life is hard but harder when your stupid''. That fits most of the people now days.Randy

That sucks Joey,I was hoping they would make it right with you........

Its just a two place hanger,probably would not be legal anywhere but here.Someone added on to one end,its the last hanger on the airport and then its a field where the Rebel is.My hanger is next to it but not much better,it is enclosed but just gravel on the floor.Price is right so I am not complaning.Randy
