    Initial climb with a constant speed prop

    In my bonanza I am WOT and full forward on the prop until cruise alt. I'll pull the prop back to 2500 if in a noise sensitive area. I do love though that those who choose to Iive next to an airport get upset by airplane noise.

    Pre purchase test flight

    Yep I agree with that fully. Not saying you shouldn't be able to test flight, because you should! But I think his thinking is likely you're tire kicker and he doesn't want to give free rides unless you're serious hence contract and deposit. Not saying he is right but might have to play his game...

    Pre purchase test flight

    Write a contingency to give you an out if you dont like how it will fly. Then if you like it proceed with pre buy. If you don't like it back out and get your deposit back...you know cause you put a contingency in for it. But agree, in this market you have to be ready to act or you lose out. I...

    Afraid to maintain an old plane

    My first plane was a nice piper 180. It cruised a solid 120kts and any kind of headwind made it long. I was flying to Dallas once a month which for me is about 800nm round trip. It took A LONG TIME! After a few months of it I realized I needed a faster plane. Enter my 170kt bonanza, makes the...

    Has Anyone Bought or Sold a 182 In The Last Year?

    If you have the funds to buy now and maintain one just do it, you won't regret it! Those that say I'm waiting till next quarter, the next recession, the next whatever are nothing more than tire kickers and will always have an excuse not to buy.

    Magneto failure - like a frog in a slowly heated pot.

    I just went through this, basically I was going to send my slick mags off for 500 hour inspection. It would have been their 3rd time and the shop said the impulse will likely be worn and not economical to repair. Brand new slick mag is $1600 and $700 for a rebuild. So I bought a $1700 surefly...
