Update: I’m renaming "Airport of the Week" to "Airport Spotlight." Why? Because building hardware takes time!

I handed out the first prototype two weeks ago and am shipping prototype #2 this week. All focus is on refining the UX before the Kickstarter. 🚀

Experiencing a major snowstorm here in the Wisconsin! ❄️ PaperMETAR is capturing it all with a unique METAR and zero mile visibility at KMSN. Who can tell me what VV013 stands for? Stay safe and warm, everyone! #Snowstorm #AviationWeather

This week’s Airport of the Week: KAVX, the “Airport in the Sky.” Short runway, ridge top winds and a marine layer that loves to sit right at pattern altitude. One of the iconic GA destinations in SoCal.

This week's Airport of the Week: KMMH. Field elevation 7,135 ft. On a warm day, your DA is pushing 10,000 ft. This is the definition of a "DA trap." My new post breaks down this beautiful but challenging airport

Over-water approach, snow, your taxi is a horse. One 3,501 ft runway and no fuel. In winter this GA strip sometimes keeps the entire island alive. This is why weather and planning matter. #aviation This week's Airport of the Week + join the PaperMETAR pre-release list papermetar.com/blog/airport...

Thrilled to share this month's progress! The big news: I've got the #ePaper display BLAZING fast, with sub-second partial updates. Also made big strides on the mobile app (it's on TestFlight!) and OTA updates. The dev journey continues!

Heads up, pilots: ForeFlight is telling users to not update to iOS 26 on Monday when it will be released. Wait for their official "all clear" to ensure compatibility and avoid potential issues. #Apple #iOS26 #ForeFlight

When Tech Fails, You Move On to Another Part? Both of my 3D printers are having issues. Instead of getting frustrated, I decided to pivot and focus on a new part of the project: the PaperMETAR mobile app. Check out the sneak peek of the app in this post.

Hmm… I had high hopes with Heygears Reflex resin printer, but their automatic supports failed 😕

#OSH25 Wednesday highlights.This morning started with a weather warning for rain but the worst of it missed us thankfully. After about 90 minutes it was done and the skies eventually cleared until prior to the night show this evening when it looked very dark for a while but again missed the field.
