    Damn expensive hobbies!

    The Ercoupes didn’t. Mine is an Aircoupe and does. There are STC’s to put them in or take them out. They are certified to land in a 25 mph direct crosswind! Stall-proof and Spin-proof. There is no stall warning device installed on these aircraft. I always say that you’d have to work...

    Damn expensive hobbies!

    Y’all don’t know how easy it is to spend money on aircraft. My little bird sips gas at 5.7 gallons an hour, $6.00 a gallon I get off cheap! Next month I’m upgrading the instrument panel. Believe me when I say I’m going cheap at 30k worth of stuff. I’m am aircraft mechanic, so legally I...

  4. Machining things.

    If I was looking for a profitable way to use my hobby, I would look for experimental aircraft builders who need specific parts made. For example the the rudder pedals and some of the control mechanisms need to be per spec. Builders do need to keep their hands on build percentage up. But...

    http://www.metaldetectorjudge.com/ there is a bunch to know. this may give some insight. you can dig a boatload of trash if you cannot discriminate between ferrous and nonferrous metals. If you only have audio and no display, you will dig every sound.

  13. Treasure Hunting - Metal Detectors

    I bought a used white's top end model. I used it out in Arizona. It's amazing how much metal trash you can dig up with one of these. I was looking for gold. I saw many different units from many manufacturers. What are you looking to find? As a gold seeking unit the model I had used audio to...
