    I've run into lost signals as well in my area. I one specific place. I ended up radioing Memphis Control Center about it. My Ipad did not have an issue, but I was told that devices like that may not report a loss signal for a short amount of time.

    New Gear Pumps

    Thank you Frank. I try to fly to Salem once a year and do eat at the airport restaurant while I’m there. Great food. As far as cleaning, I wash once a year then use furniture polish over the plane. Then when things get a bit dirty I can spray the polish again the the dirt wipes off. Right...

    Need a mentor

    I’m from Tennessee and 6’’ft 6””inch 285lbs. I’ve had my 112A for about 6-7 years now and love it. My normal cruise alt on cross country is usually 8500-9500. Local would be lower.

    Southeast Commander Pilots: How's the winter flying weather?

    I travel usually once a year from TN to Salem Oregon for business. I haven’t had a weather problem yet, but my job lets me go on my schedule and with enough planning it is usually uneventful. Now is it economical? NO, but that’s not why I do it. I really enjoy the trip, the things I see, and...
