Greg expands on the concept of being tech-free before opening up his gear bag and reviewing his new air mattress of choice.  Gathering inspiration from his friend, Nick Gagnon from the AOH Podcast, he decides its time to challenge his own outdoor skills on a backpacking trip... carefully timed with the arrival of his son Otto.

NOTE: Due to the demise of Greg’s laptop... the intro, close and music will not be appearing on this episode.  Enjoy the episode; raw and uncut.

Please take the Aviation News Talk podcast 2017 Listener survey! Click here for the survey. In this podcast, I explain how to properly do a magneto ground check before engine shutdown, to assure you won’t have a hot prop if you move the propeller by hand. This is a followup to a much longer discussion on magneto and hot props in episode 13. You can Dictate a listener question from your phone and I’ll try to answer it on a future show, or send an email.

  In Flight Problems
  If an engine becomes rough during flight, it could be because one magneto has developed a timing problem. In that case, switch to the L and R positions to see if the engine runs better in one of those positions. If it does, leave the magneto switches or key in that position for the rest of the flight and report the problem to your mechanic.
  
  Shutdown Mag Check
  Some checklists say to switch the mag switches or key very briefly to the Off position, so you can hear if the engine is stopping. If it is, that verifies that both mags are properly grounded. Then before the engine quits, switch back to the Both position and shut down the engine properly by pulling the mixture to idle. If there’s a mag key, it’s important that you do this check by turning all the way to the Off position, and not just turn to the L and R positions, as some CFIs insist. Turning to the L and R positions checks part of the grounding system, but it doesn’t check whether the switch itself works in the Off position! It's not unusual for an older switch to become corroded and fail to work in one position, so definitely do the shutdown mag check by switching briefly to the Off position. Do the mag checks and engine shutdown procedures properly, and you will greatly enhance your safety when you move a prop.

When it comes to pricing, Mark Stiving is one of the people willing to explore every component of how to drive customers to buy. Stiving readily admits he does not understand why the secondary ticket market manages to exist aside from venues and teams not taking the pricing seriously, laying down details of different pricing modules that could work. Stiving discusses whether dutch auction pricing has any merit aside from going out of business sales, and how dynamic pricing could be broader, especially when considering weather. Stiving talks about his own research, meeting a product expert of an old industry in Las Vegas, and what it taught him about pricing overall. Twitter: @MarkStiving

Our podcast today is brought to you by the letter S for Skype or Static. Steven and I decided to experiment with using Skype to record a podcast this week and it worked out phenomenally, except for one catch. Apparently Skype was altering the input levels throughout the recording to account for Steven's low not-in-the-room voice, which caused my already higher voice to come in blisteringly loud. I managed to fix most of the spiking issues, however my editing skills are quite limited so there is still a bit of distortion. My apologies, but rest assured that we will make sure this doesn't happen again. On today's podcast we discuss our thoughts on my recent purchase of a Kinect; our opinions of The Cabin in the Woods; and summer movies we are looking forward to. This is Episode IV of Constantly Calibrating, thank you and enjoy!
