I response to several requests, I am posting my thoughts on a comparison between my Rans S-7S And my Savage Classic Cub.
As a disclaimer, I have only flown my Savage about 12 hours and half of that was...
Hope to arrive at Mack early Friday in My S7. What are the chances of getting mogas while there?

S-12FlyerThere is a courtesy car available most of the time. Check with Ladd when you get there.
The closest gas station is a couple of miles away in Loma. I will try to get up there sometime this week and I will drop a couple of empty gas cans in my hangar. If not, Ladd should have a few to use as well.
Wow, talk about thread drift.
This move by the FAA is not about left or right politics. The FAA has been an over-bearing, dysfunctional agency through many presidencies.
And while I usually find it...
The legislation to eliminate the 3rd class medical is a pipe dream with limited chances of passage.
You might be right, but the glimmer of hope on this subject is that congress is paying attention now....

Applicants with a BMI of 40 or more would be evaluated by a physician who is a board certified sleep specialist.

Once again, this has strayed away from the point in contention. Does the diagnosis of OSA have a documented link to increased aircraft accidents? The answer to that is a resounding "no". It is an assumption...
Of course the extensive group of pilots that you've allegedly talked to are glad to have been diagnosed.
Excuse me? That's a pretty shitty way of phrasing things. But congratulations, in a single sentence...
There are many more non-fatal accidents each year than fatal. Where is the body of evidence that links sleep apnea to any of them?
The $200 figure you like to throw around is just an estimate. Like most...
If this goes it will kill GA!! can you imagine an extra $5000 to get your medical!
Dr. Bruce on the purple board seems to think it will cost $200 to disqualify. And, if you have sleep apnea, I haven't...
Okay, I finally rejoined AOPA after 15 years, and was looking at their (our?) flightplanning software, FlyQ.
1. Does anyone use it? or is there better stuff out there?
2. Can you only plan from one...
