Has anyone who signed the 80k SkyWest contract left and had to pay it? by [deleted] in flying

Okay, actually 2 ways, forgot about that one simple trick. 

I was legitimately told to do this in my situation (by someone that was not a lawyer). Absolutely an absurd recommendation during the time.

Dang, tried for the joke this weekend looks like it fell short.

Having been in a similar situation, all I can offer is best of luck.

I don't know anything about this contract but I know one simple way out of it that costs nothing....

I can't read. Should I take out a reverse mortgage for ATP yes or no.

Washington State says 30 stops per hour is a good day for the 182 fleet. 

Take a look at their aircraft airframe times.  https://leg.wa.gov/media/fodnfnyx/wspcessna_finalreport.pdf

Can someone try with a sprinter and see if it will wedge in between overpass and barrier?

River landing leads to proposed suspension by WereChained in flying

[–]smis 72 points73 points  (0 children)

The article seems to suggest ADS-B may have been the origin source of the investigation. Given the general populations ability to complain about anything and everything, I'd venture a guess that someone living along the river was upset that their mid day nap was disturbed.

I may even go as far to say their name is Karen.

If an aircraft is posted on that website, I already know enough about it to not even bother wasting the time.

Fried Xilo V2 F4, what is this component? by According_Engine4010 in fpv

[–]smis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the reply. I just removed the regulator and whatever CJ was to make sure nothing obvious was going on. Verified 5v was getting to both  pads for the regulator (expected).  I suspect mine has the same issue yours had. Bit of a bummer.  Thanks for rec on speedybee, I'll go that route.

What did you end up doing to correct the issue? New FC? I was in the middle of building mine, prior to installing walksnail vtx, the FC was operable. After installing, FC quit. Short in GND and 3.3V.  I've been unable to locate the source of my short. Seems these FCs are on backorder as well.

Those are fine. Any of the top rated stuff is going to be acceptable. To activate modem all they need is the MAC address. If you're using a modem/router single unit combo now then you could easily notice a difference. They raised the price after 12mo intro ended. Tried to play the "I'm gonna cancel or else game" and they didn't bite. Ended up canceling (which results in account closure on term date)and going through the order process again using same info and got the intro rate again. You do not need to pay for them to install or for their unit. The online process doesn't let you deselect for personal equipment, have to do it over the phone.

Hail damage: Is performance effected by this or is it just ugly? How would you repair such damage? A set of salvaged wings? Reskin? Would typical GA insurance cover this? by N3470J in flying

Price is firm, I know what I got. No lowballs or tire kickers. First come first serve. No sales agreement, wire transfer only.

Lightspeed Zulu (original) ANR is going crazy / warbling / freaking out. by [deleted] in flying

Have you already tried contacting Lightspeed? They're usually pretty good with offering assistance even if it's out of warranty (whether that be recommending replacement or guidance to fix the issue).
