I'm obsessed with finding less expensive fuel while flying. My airport is $7.30 and there are several airports within 35 miles less then $5.00
With gas coming down to the $2 range 92 mogas should be around $3??? You might have to use cans but what the heck? I used to buy plenty of it at S30.

Last, my Iphone contract is about to expire so if anyone has GPS ideas for an Android, please comment & include the Android device u r using.
I bought a Nexus 7 (Second generation 2013 7" tablet) on Craigslist for $125 which seems to be a fair price for a used one in good condition.

I used FltPlan Go (free) on a recent 1500 mile trip and really liked it. I would like it better if flight planning was as easy as it is on Skyvector (easily "rubber band" routes). I downloaded all the databases near the route of my trip so even had things like FBO phone numbers and fuel prices.

My Nexus 7 doesn't have a cellular data connection, but I was able to use my phone as a hotspot and check weather, get NOTAMs, etc. on the ground.

Hi Bobby,
The app requires registration. How long are you using it? Where it gets the info on events?

Default Where's Power Wheel...

Power Wheel sounds interesting. I would love to try it, but it appears to be gone from the store.

Not Bobby,

But I have been using this app for over 2 years. It has gotten a lot better (faster) lately. Easier to use, plus you can make "virtual hangars" with your fiends in the app.

As far as the info, anyone can enter events. Other than that I do not know how else they get the info for events.

Default Yea, what James said

Ditto, same here. Been using it a couple years and it sends you a email to remind you about things coming up the next weekend.
