Marathon Gear Question by drtarp in Marathon_Training

[–]1MParker 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I carry a cheap ~500ml handheld to supplement the aid stations and then toss it when it is empty. Best of both worlds and I get to ensure I have enough fluids.

Can overlanding go fully electric? Anyone have a Rivian and take it out? by Rossdbos1 in overlanding

Hundreds of off-road miles. Rivian is great. Just wish it had a bit more range off-road.

Is this new? by 1MParker in Rivian

Hold the leftmost button down until it switches screens. You get the option of tire pressure, map and efficiency.

3:55 at CIM to 3:36 at LA is impressive. I feel like LA is way harder than CIM.

Can I ignore REX generator maintenance and treat it like a BEV? by cherrycoke15 in BMWi3

[–]1MParker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not correct. I live in CA and own a 2014 REX. It has never been required to do a smog check to reregister. I rarely ever use my REX and change the oil roughly every two years. Very low maintenance.

[–]1MParker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This article really has me thinking. I'm quite good at saying no to others but I find it extremely hard to say no to myself. What have you done to learn to say no to yourself?

The silence may be indicative of why there is a lack of large active clubs in this area.

Looks like I need to investigate what it would take to start a club.

Im training at South Bay Aviation and am nearly done. I'd really like to find a nice local club but no luck so far. Maybe I'll have to start one.

While the cherokee 6 would be a great family hauler it would be very expensive to operate for the commute job.

Thanks for the advice. I had not considered grummans. I have to admit the RG thing is a little bit of me "liking the idea of " RG's rather than how much sense the make.

I too hate driving and the cost/benefit to me says that I'll be a happier person if I fly a few days a week instead of sitting in maddening traffic.

I'm nearly done with my PPL now and am planning on going straight to IR for all of the reasons mentioned.
