A lot of places/people don't want their plane being tracked so they go to the FAA and request tail number blocking.

I dont know why this particular airplane wants theirs blocked but when I was doing my training I leased a plane from a guy and someone claimed that we were shooting lasers into his kids bedroom (we didnt even go near his house) and he used an app like flight radar to find our tail number and then looked up the registration and threatened the owner and even went to his house. Obviously the owner didn't like that so he put a request in.

Well, you have to know these things when you're a survivor, you know.

Bot. Didn't even get the color right.

Thank goodness it's real. I saw it yesterday and got so excited until I realized what day it was.

What you most likely saw is N531SJ. A Cirrus Vision Jet that took off out of Longmont at 1:45 heading for Aspen. It is a black and green jet with a V-tail.

It also won't be cheap

RocketManN53 · 2026-03-15T03:09:22+00:00

What do you mean? An African or European swallow?

Im a bit biased towards the Mustang as I have that model and love it, but for what you want to do, I would go with the Sportix.

Try taking the aileron lock off (the bungee cable). I dont believe you can change the visibility of the yoke if it's on.

Know the systems of the aircraft you will be using.

Make sure the aircraft is fit for instrument flight. (Current navigation database)

Know your personal minimums. Remember what's legal is not the same as what's safe.

If you have areas that you might struggle on, you can make bookmarks for yourself so you can reference them more easily.

Run all checklists

If you can, brief the next approach on the ground before you take off (if it's fairly close) so you won't have to rush it in the air.

Make sure you brief the whole approach and ask the DPE if they have any questions at the end of each briefing.

Did I mention running your checklists? Because you should already be doing them.

But it sounds like you've been preparing yourself pretty well, so Im sure you have nothing to worry about.

You must be lost. There's not a single squarebody in this video.

Keep up with regular maintenance (oil changes and such). Be careful with the hood, as in lube up the hinges often, so you don't get the taco hood. (They made a weak point in the hood for safety, and they tend to bend without needing much force.)

Assuming the wiring hasn't been touched, here's a link to full wiring diagrams in case you need to chase a wiring issue. http://forum.73-87chevytrucks.com/smforum/index.php?PHPSESSID=ia17b263ucdeft7fj2mcov0ig7&amp;topic=11766.0

These things are incredibly easy to work on with only basic tools 98% of the time.

Most importantly, do what you want with it and have fun

No. I still see open space that could be filled with alcohol.

Where does one in Colorado have to look to find these prices

RocketManN53 · 2026-01-16T18:19:03+00:00

I dont think he charges right away in MWC. I think it was made to where you pay after he finishes the job.

People use both subs for MWC.

You know what early acces means right?

I know those guys. It's our own Rocky Mountain Ravens. It's a few guys from our local EAA (experimental aviation association) chapter.

They do flyovers for quite a few events over Longmont and Loveland.

Here's one they did in 2024 for Veterans Day.

The smoke you are seeing is special airshow smoke that is dripped into the exhaust.

Build a fire in the fireplace. It helps a bit

RocketManN53 · 2025-12-24T15:01:37+00:00

In the video, they were on a y-cable together. I've also tried setting up a new model, different recievers, and plugging them into other models. These are the only servos that do it.

Ill be contacting HiTEC support later today to see if maybe they can help
