I can't provide any information to your question, but if you're new to owner produced parts you may want to read this: https://www.cessnaflyer.org/magazine/article-archives/maintenance-technical/item/984-owner-produced-parts-regulations-interpretations-and-applications.html. For your question...

The fact that the aircraft didn't fly for 18 years and only 35 hrs in the last two would give me pause. Really, find an aircraft you like that has been flown regularly and maintained properly. It may be priced higher than you like, but in the long run it will probably save you a lot of $ and...

As long as you're shipping out of state I'll mention Pen Yann. They overhauled my O-360 in '19 and set up shipping. No surprises and they were on schedule. So far engine in running great. They have an online quote request and for overhauls it's instant...

Lots of thoughts about your plan etc, but this would get it done... https://boise.craigslist.org/avo/d/caldwell-1946-ercoupe-model/7668177833.html

FWIW, I always tow my aircraft from the pump to the hangar...

I'll echo "It depends". That said, if I was operating out of a densely urban area that surrounded the airport I would probably climb out at Vx until I was beyond the ability to put the aircraft down on the airport property, then I would climb at Vy. Otherwise Vy...

Well, since you asked, I'll offer my 2¢... Owning a Lance you can easily knock out a CP and CFI. But, it sounds like you're looking to fill the gap of CFI's for pilot owners, so who would you use as a CFI? Catch 22 situation? If you're considering training students in an aircraft that you...

Not defending the guy, but your perspective may change when you sell an airplane...

Yes, the TFR's have been bad in the west for the last few years. I think this due to fires (obviously), but also because it seems the Feds put TFR's in place much more expeditiously. Thankfully this year, at least around here, the fires and smoke have been relatively light as compared to past...

There's hotel policy and then there's employee work ethic. Those two may not align in your specific example...

Was always interested in going. Since it's the last one I bought a ticket for Opening day. Would love to fly down, but guessing there won't be any ramp space nearby... ;-)

Congrats! Enjoy!

Based on what you have said, I would go with the C150. As others have mentioned, you can put the $25K saved towards fuel and that will get you almost to your goal of 1,200 hours. I also would never advocate purchasing an aircraft unless you have the funds available to overhaul the engine the...

I completely agree with you and because of the point you brought up is probably why the FAA isn't looking to expand who can perform a condition inspection on an EAB aircraft.

You have a fundamental misunderstanding of their position and motivation. They are advocating that owners of an EAB aircraft that they didn't build be allowed to take a course and after completion of that course be allowed to perform the annual condition inspection of said EAB aircraft. As you...

Don't forget, Basler sucks too. Maybe I heard him wrong, but I think he also took a swipe at JB too...

Move the S-LSA to E-LSA then you can do what you want and with minimal training perform the condition inspection...
