    As some of you know, Brian and Steve at Steve's Aircraft have been working on my Pacer over the winter and spring. The project is nearing completion (just a few weeks out now) so I thought I would show...

  • Bender replied in forum topic LED Nav/Strobes
    My pacer didn't have a beacon or strobes when I bought it, just pos lights, so I picked up a set of these and they work great. I'm not sure if I'm technically legal for night vfr since the pos lights...

  • Bender replied in forum topic Cell tower range?
    If you're running on battery power, leaving the data turned on in flight will drain the battery fast due to the device constantly searching for a signal. I have a hard wired ipad mini mount so I usually...

  • Bender replied in forum topic Airplane Ideas?
    If you decide to look for a PA-22/20 I'd say that the 0-320, squared wings, and Cleveland wheels/brakes are a must for decent short field performance. Nice to haves would include a Steve's Aircraft skylight,...

  • Bender replied in forum topic Backcountry Vegas???
    The R-2506 only goes up to 6k msl so you could cut a little off your route there. Also, if you contact Joshua and ask for "overflight of the 2505" you've got a 50/50 chance of getting approved to do so...

  • Bender replied in forum topic One missing near Johnson Crk/Yellow Pine
    CAP is "cub scouts" for middle aged - elderly men (Nerd Fraternity). I'm sure some squadrons are different but that's my opinion after working closely with several of them (not by choice). Bottom line,...

  • Bender replied in forum topic Rookie needs advice on aircraft selection
    I was in your situation for most of the past year with similar criteria but required four seats. I narrowed my choices down to a stinson 108, pa 22/20, and c170A. All of these can be had for $30k or...
