“There is indeed value in pilots discussing what may have happened and what we might learn from it and as long as people check their attitudes, it absolutely can be done without disrespecting either occupant of the aircraft.” I would agree, except I have seen a lot of wild speculation during...

I don’t have much to add beyond what has been said already. I am very saddened to hear about this tragedy. Some say luck or lack of luck. While I’m not an extremely religious person, I do believe in a higher/supreme power. I choose to believe that we can do all we can to prepare, learn, study...

If it flies, floats, or &ucks, better to rent then own! :smilewinkgrin:

Now here’s someone with a lot of disposable income. I didn’t have that much, so bought my 1976 Cheetah in 1999 for $39,000. Owned for 13 years, did a top overhaul with new Lycoming cylinders, paint, and some smaller upgrades Along the way. Then sold in 2012 for $43000, and bought my Tiger for...

Just looked on line. Looks like a new restaurant went in. Vince’s at the Airport. Probably should call before going.

Hmmmm? :idea:No different than your Traveler landings if I remember correctly! :eek:

When was the last time you did an IFR airborne VOR check?

So, is Garmin Pilot any different? I am not a GP user, but may consider switching over to them if FF keep their nonsense up. I have been a FF user since inception, but I’ll vote with my feet if I have to.

Judging by the ads I am seeing on Barnstormers, it looks like asking prices are finally starting to come down. I see a lot of REDUCED, and MAKE REASONABLE OFFER in ads. Of course there are still a lot of sellers living in LaLa Land based on asking prices for planes with runout engines and...

Except the 182 prices are being held up by the retract crowd getting priced out due to insurance. Selling their retracts and moving into a C182.

Ask him to lay a blanket On the surfaces of the plane as he works on it so he doesn’t chip/scratch paint.

As someone else said, nose gear strut, fuel tank sealing, bond lines, and perhaps windshield install. The rest is pretty much like any other airplane. Brakes are brakes, engines are engines, alternators are alternators, and mags are mags. All that said, I would DEFINITELY get a specialist to do...

OP… look for a higher wing loaded aircraft, GW/wing area. Better ride qualities. Something over 17 LBs/sq ft.

Yikes! That would have created serious pain on the flight home! :mad:

You need your own plane at that rate.

If it flies, floats, or f’s, better to rent than to own!

Wondering if anyone went? How was it?

Look… I’ve seen the special items you have brought in. Got to watch that GW! :)

You looking to buy a twin? Might be tough to get in and out of RR.

For that money, I’d buy a used VFR GPS/Com, to pair with my GNS430W. Back up com, backup gps, and VOR through the 430W. https://www.bennettavionics.com/klx-135a-vfr-gps-moving-map-comm-transceiver/
