how to set up a spot page

[jamesmil]

hi guy's. I am planning to go to the factory flyin September and would like to set up a spot page for my wife to follow as I travel. can anyone help me with this as i'm not real good with this thing called a computer. I am so looking forward to this trip but I promised my wife I would not go if we had a hurricane coming as we live in what is known as hurricane alley so every one please pray to the weather gods for me. thanks to all.

James not sure if your chosing a southern route or a straight line rte,..Im not far from Fort Leonardwood MO if its in your path,..if you need a place to rest your head I can hook you up

even if your stopping for lunch " skypirate's kitfox owner's taxi service" for lunch is up n running

Step 1: Buy a Spot Messenger Best Buy just had the SPOT 2 for $65 last week. Amazon is usually hard to beat. http://www.amazon.com/SPOT-Satellite.../dp/B002PHRDO2 Be advised the Spot 3 is just about to be released and it supposedly has more features than the 1 and 2 did.

Step 2: Go to www.findmespot.com and click on "Activate my Spot"

Step 3: Follow in the instructions on the screen, Pay your $100 for your subscription and then it will walk you through setting up your OK and HELP messages and who they go to.

thanks for the info ss7flyer. will check it out and have it ready for the trip.
skypirate, thanks for the invite. I plan to go direct on a course from 03nc to chy, wo. and then on to mcall from there. I hope to make it around st,louis the first day then on to chy. the next. of course this plan is all subject to weather and any thing else murphy may come up with. this trip is more to see this great country of ours and and visit with other airplane people. if I don't make it that far on the first day maybe I can still stop by and talk airplanes for an hour or two the next day. I plan on leaving Monday the 9th. that will give me 4 days to get to macall. if in can't stop by on the way out i can try and stop on the way back.

A few of the airports around stl have curtesy cars available( fill up your plane west of stl if you can, $4.85 if average 100 ll but a few airports are carrying mo gas too, "avgasnow" app lists both, (TBN) fort leonardwood forney field has 100ll only but im 13 miles from there and if your using MOGAS i would be happy to meet you there with gas, im 18 miles from M48 $4.85 there too but its a keyed pump and you have to call the local PD to get fuel, allot of the smaller airports are still playing "catch up" and dont have card readable pumps yet but some do

As a rule 90% of the weather in Missouri travels a corridor north of interstate 44, it travels up from oklahoma NNE and watch out for the Stealths their MOA and home base is west of STL

"Myradar" app gives aviation weather etc but internet conn. required, you can add points of your route lower left side on the app, it will give you all flight weather info to the minute and its free :-)
