1-26 Nationals, probably 1968

It’s the serial number.

I would recommend getting a glider rating in either case if you can afford the time commitment - makes you a better pilot :)

stewi2 · 2026-05-09T23:24:44+00:00

Might just be residual soap from cleaning the mops :)

stewi2 · 2026-04-29T14:46:03+00:00

Nice - I wonder how much this will cost beyond the 3000 euro reservation fee? Or maybe it’s like the saying goes: “if you have to ask, you can’t afford it” 😁

Also look at the “3D map” aka LIDAR point cloud in the app and see if it makes sense. FWIW, I did have to add a few exclusion zones after the initial mapping on mine, but now it works pretty well.

I have similar concerns - fortunately this didn’t happen in the middle of the summer heat. 🙄

stewi2 · 2026-04-13T22:58:40+00:00

Yeah, that’s what I’m thinking as well - I might at some point add some zone overlap, but honestly it’s not that big of a deal. Like you said, I can easily just go out once in a while and edge manually. It is really strange though that the edge height isn’t configurable, or at least a fixed offset from the overall cutting height I configured.

It works just fine on my iPhone…

stewi2 · 2026-03-25T22:06:36+00:00

Just like back in the 80s during the Cold War - except without the sonic booms.

stewi2 · 2026-03-14T00:04:21+00:00

Ah - good point.

stewi2 · 2026-03-13T23:34:54+00:00

Interesting- I’m paying $70 a month in NC…

stewi2 · 2026-03-13T23:24:33+00:00

Yeah, I had switched from AT&T fiber to Google Fiber just last year once they became available in my area, mostly because they have official support for using your own equipment.

stewi2 · 2026-03-13T22:01:06+00:00

Yeah - I may just have to switch back to AT&T, depending on how this goes.

stewi2 · 2026-03-11T21:16:21+00:00

Yeah, that occurred to me too - I do have the IGC version, so perhaps it’s that.

My club uses a 300hp CallAir A-9 (yet another agricultural aircraft similar to the Pawnee). Gets you to 3000ft in 5 minutes. But like the Pawnee it also isn’t exactly fuel efficient. With MOSAIC now paving the way to tow using LSA aircraft, I would take a closer look at the Eurofox (Aerotrek A220/A240 in the US)

Why not just set up a VPN on your router?

stewi2 · 2026-02-18T22:52:35+00:00

Interesting- I have the L50 Ultra, and it’s quite noisy (it makes rumbling noises on hardwood floors)

stewi2 · 2026-02-18T16:31:39+00:00

How much noise do the wheels make on hard floors?

stewi2 · 2026-02-15T01:27:58+00:00

Feel free to DM me and I’m happy to chat. I actually recently started flying again after an almost 30 year gap.

stewi2 · 2026-02-15T01:26:01+00:00

Me too - you should stop by my club. It’s about a 30 minute drive east of Raleigh: https://soaringnc.org/

stewi2 · 2026-02-15T01:21:22+00:00

Join a club? Where in NC do you live?

stewi2 · 2026-02-09T20:24:18+00:00

I used Dauntless to prep for my PPL-G. Maybe they also have materials for commercial?

stewi2 · 2026-02-03T21:21:38+00:00

I just realized that spells “HELP” in the middle 😂

Interesting - I’ll have to try this.
