    Best Parts $ite

    It finally happened, my H did the 9.8 m/s2 into the ground. It was pilot error, as I was filming the fresh snowfall on a large Douglas Fir tree, the prop wash pushed the snow off of the heavy snow laden branch and as the snow fell off the branch, the branch rebounded way up and the props...

    Passed FAA 107

    Thought I would share my test results and some of the test overview I managed to finish the exam in about 30 min. There were a lot of chart questions. Like 20 I passed on my first attempt. I used the ASA Remote Test Prep Book. I read it cover to cover several months ago and then took the...

    Aviation Radios

    This is the model of the handheld radio I have decided to purchase. It had the best reviews on broadcast distance. It is a bit pricy but I plan on using it as an airplane backup as well as 107 work. Sporty's SP-400 Handheld NAV/COM Aviation Radio

    DeStig, what make/model handheld do you have? What you stated above does sound pretty marginal at best.

    20 miles is more than marginal. I only need 5miles to do what I need.

    Aviation Radios

    In the UK listening to Airband traffic can be an offence, I know in HAM radios in the US you need an FCC license to broadcast but not to listen. I'm not clear on the requirements for airband TX on the ground without a ground station license in the US, but looks like there are some special use...

    Anyone own a hand held Aviation Radio? I'm starting to study up on them for an upcoming purchase. When I pass my Part 107 I'll reward myself. What make/ models are the industry standard? Avoid those kind and love this one etc.

    Aftermarket GPS?

    I was thinking if the options were available with a better -dbm sensitivity and a faster Hz update rate and you could unplug and plug in a new one then it might be worth looking at. I have yet to take my H apart so I have no idea if the GPS is all soldered into the main board etc. I don't see...

    Aftermarket GPS?

    Is there a higher quality GPS module that could be installed? I have not researched the H but with my previous experience with Flight Controllers like CC3D, Revolution, etc there were better quality GPS modules you could install. I dont have a clue how to rate/ compare the accuracy of a GPS...
