    New Waiex Owner

    It's been awhile since I posted anything here, as I've just been in and out to see what's what for quite some time. Because I won't have time to build my own project for at least a few more years, I figured I'd buy an already built plane and enjoy it in the meantime. I was lucky enough to find a...

    My first solo

    I did my first solo today:ban: I was hoping to solo sooner but it took me longer to figure out my landings than I expected, but I still managed it after 12.9 hours.

    ATC changing from radar to GPS?

    This morning while driving to work, I heard a short news clip on the radio which mentioned ATC was going to be making a change from radar based to GPS based tracking. I didn't get to listen to the entire thing so I didn't hear if this was a proposed plan or a new Administrative Regulation which...

    Newbie to the pilot/aircraft scene in OH

    Hi everyone. I'm Tom and I'm addicted to flying:gig: I'm actually not even a pilot yet but have been lucky enough to go up for a couple of flights and all it took was 1 flight to get me addicted and bring me to the realization that I need to fly. I've wanted to get my PPL for a few years now...
