Greetings Ya'll:
I'm a newish Solo owner/operator in the Portland, OR / Vancouver, WA area. I've flown quite a bit, but not lately due to the weather. I've got two Solos - one primary and one back-up, have done different GPS mods in each of them (both with good results), have never had a "fly-away," have never crashed except through my own stupidity, and think the Solo is (or was) a darn good deal for $300.
Question for the collective - does anybody in the PDX area know of good places to fly where you won't get hassled, and where you don't have to call half a dozen different airports before taking off?
Thanks and happy flying!
Todd
PS - I'm also into amateur radio, so if anybody's found a way to combine the two - say an APRS digipeater at 400' - I'd be interested in hearing about it.
