I haven't been to KSUN since Atlantic took over. The prices you quoted seem reasonable and if you can get it in writing I would definitely tiedown there vs driving from Twin Falls. +1 on visiting Stanley (2U7), it's a short 30 min flight from KSUN. It's a relatively easy strip most of the time...

Ever since I got the engine monitor always full rich when I can.

If budget is a concern, find a club that has a C150 in the fleet, you're not likely going to find a cheaper time building ownership option. But in keeping within the constraints of your original post, an RV-12 checks a lot of your boxes...

Congrats!

I think a C172 with the Air Plains or Penn Yan O-360 conversion increases value. I'm not so sure about the Franklin conversion. It sounds great, but there aren't very many of them and as you mentioned parts look concerning. There's a C172B on TAP with a 400 SMOH O-300-D for $45K. I would be...

+1 Bruce's Custom Covers. Mine served me well and occasionally still does...

For this reason I only take my older friends (we're all close to retirement and so limited loss of earnings potential and kids are grown and moved out) and family for rides in my Skyhawk and only my wife gets to ride with me in my RV-12...

#4 is my hottest cylinder by 10°F. On the worst days I have to step climb to keep it below 400°...

Call the company and ask them if they will share the contact info of some C182 customers. They probably already have a list available...

Is it a requirement that the FAA has the date of your last CMEC? Background: My Course dates and CMEC dates have never matched as I took the course once BasicMed was rolled out but didn't have the CMEC until several months later. At the time I had a Second Class SI so it didn't really matter...

ADSB?

I sump before every flight, even a lunch stop because you never know where water may migrate to and it may not make it to the low spot until sloshing around in flight. I once discovered jet fuel in the tank during a preflight, so agree with the above post, it's not always about water...

FWIW, if I was in the same situation, I would go Sport Pilot and not look back. You won't be able to instruct, but you will still be able to fly and the final MOSAIC rule could potentially make your sport flying indistinguishable from your current flying...

Indeed an epic trip, even more so because you were able to share the experience with your family! Great pics!

Likely out of balance. Especially if you are able to get it to shake at certain taxi speeds as well.

Hopefully it won’t be as windy next weekend for you as it was today!

Sorry you had to go through that…
