    Best first plane for under $100k

    I would look at a Grumman Tiger. You should be able to find one for your price range if you are patient. Won’t have the latest in avionics and probably 1200-1500 hrs on the bullet proof Lycoming engine. 180 hp, 4 seater with fuel at tabs, max endurance 5 hrs at 50 gph, 135 KTAS at 7000, and a...

    Liability Only Insurance

    At my age and length of being a pilot, if and when I go to liability only, if I can not pay to repair the plane, I’ll be ready to quit ownership, sell off the parts to recoup what I can (plane is fully paid for), and either stop flying or join a club.

    Starter recommendations?

    What engine and airframe were you trying to install the starter on? Front mounted oil cooler?

    Starter recommendations?

    No. No one will rebuild and to top it off, they want a core return or you loose $200. This for a NEW unit, not an OH’d one. I have never heard of a core charge on a new unit, nor has my mechanic. They are trying to reduce the supply chain in order to force the supply and demand curve.

    Starter recommendations?

    Does anyone know if the B&C makes use of the same bracket to the Alternator that the SkyTec does? I need to replace my SkyTec 149-12LS starter and I am considering going with the B&C out of principal due to the ridiculous prices SkyTec's new private equity company is charging. There was an...

    Minimum Oil Level

    Keep in mind that some of that oil lost may not be being burned or spit out the breather tube. It could be coming from a bad crankshaft seal.
