Running APRS while flying is a fun and semi-useful project. APRS often has much better aerial coverage than cellular networks, allowing friends and family to see your location as you fly across the country. And yes ADSB does this too but practically, only if you have a 1090 (mode S) ADSB solution. The UAT solutions I have do not have much coverage on sites like flightaware...")

This 2005 has 4 wheel drive, great suspension, and an engine known for its reliability. This is the last of the carbureted years which IMO is a good thing. The carb is a Mikuni constant velocity, CV40. The early EFI systems seemed to have some problems. == Maintenance stuff == Oil: Mobil 1 0w40 "european formula" Filter: ST6607")

He had flown it quite a bit out of southern california and from the logbooks, looks like he had some great flights in it. After some medical issues he gave up flying and it sat in his back yard in phoenix for 20 years. After he passed, I picked it up from the family and here is the story of getting it flying again. Overall it wasn't in terrible shape. Of course things were dusty and dry after sitting that long, and t...")

Said glider field was approximately 5 miles from my house but key to making this possible is having "line of sight" between the two points. Above 50 Mhz or so, radio frequencies only reliably propagate to where you can visibly see. You can often get a bit farther than visible line of sight thanks to reflection/refraction but it's limited....")

The other unusual thing about is there is no built-in display. It is instead controlled via a PC over a serial port. I came across this on Facebook marketplace for a deal I couldn't resist. It was just the main box, no cabling or the control box. Over time I came across a control box and built up the cables from scratch. I learned a couple of lessons the hard...")
