I am not a user of APRS, a HAM license has been on my to do list for a while.
After reading Tims post I started thinking about sending a text message via the
armature radio bands while in flight. Essentially that is all they are doing
with APRS, right?
So a quick search revealed this link: http://www.winlink.org/
Are text messages to the iPad the limit, how about a ping to a service to return
a METAR Might be a day late and dollar short in these days of XM and ADSB,
but food for thought. - Jason

Some of that stuff could be done, I'm sure, but it would
take a person actually wanting to spend time on the
programming end to run the service. Given that these
days you can get that METAR data via Satellite with WSI/XM,
and plenty of Wx with ADS-B for no cost, I don't know that
there would be enough practical interest in it. But short
emails would definitely be useful. I know many people who
would like that. You'd likely end up with a 1 way
capability, just like on a SPOT though....but it's
better than nothing. I know there are people out there doing
it today, if you read the APRS forum on VAF, but I think
it's a bit clumsy in that you have to put a control head
on the APRS to do it. If it were a slick iphone interface,
then I bet there would be tons of people doing it.
In time, I'm sure you'll see more. You won't want to use it
for sending emails as long as this one though. ;)
Besides that, it isn't private, so anyone could read them.

The suggestion to get METAR and METAF in flight is also being done by WingX on
the IPAD with the cellular ON. I have been riding to OSH in a warbird and with
a cellular active IPAD have been sending and receiving emails as I pass cell
towers along the way.

| Subject: | Pirep On Rod End Bearing Tool... |
Fellow Builders,
I building a new rudder for 'ol Ruby Vixen and was pondering how to install the
rod end bearings after the leading edge is formed. I think I did it the first
time with a pliers or something that kind of scratched the bearing and ran the
risk of tweaking the leading edge. I was surfing around on Flyboy Accessories
this week and found this sweet Rod End Bearing Tool. It arrived today and
I can't believe how awesome it is. It totally works as good as you would imagine.
Order one today!! You won't be sorry.
(No connection with FB or the tool maker; just a really impressed owner.)
