Well, one situation that comes to mind is that somebody touches down too fast, nose gear first, resulting in a porpoise landing what might cause a collapsed nose gear and a prop strike. Going around after the first bounce would be an easy fix in such a situation. I believe you have heard about...

Frankly, reading this gives me the impression that you definitely need to practice t&g. What if you have to go around after touching down? Then you’re faced with a high stress situation and a maneuver you are not comfortable with! I also don’t see why there should be more going on in our...

You're right, I apologize. Completely missed it. I guess Michigan is a bit far from Washington, to go for a ride. ;)

If you would state where you live, somebody might take you up. Or, even better, show up at a PoA fly-in. ;)

Now THIS is a BS statement! :mad:;)

The Mooney steel cage probably saved his bacon. I hope he‘ll be ok!

It‘s also the only twin on the experimental market. I bet that many of the potential XL customers look at the RV10 as well and eventually settle on the latter.

Not sure how exactly his operation is funded but certainly not by the deposits: They are in escrows and not accessible by him. I watched the yesterday's video in absolute disbelieve: How can significant stuff like this come up AFTER everything is said and done!? Either it was serious...

Do you guys see many of these kids eventually becoming private pilots? We have probably flown several thousand kids in our EAA chapter, but I know of only less than a handful of them who started flying professionally. I don't recall that even a single former young eagle ever became a GA pilot or...

Scott Best @SbestCFII , he is a member of PoA. A co-worker and I both earned our ratings with him in 7 days and were very happy with our decisions. The DPE also complimented me on my knowledge and skill level that I gained during the training with Scott. Quite intensive but very efficient and...

The 750 can certainly be built very fast – if you’re willing to slap it together. Frankly, this is exactly what quite a few Zeniths look like If you want to build a nice 750, it will realistically take at least as long as building a Kitfox or a RANS S-20/21. Zenith also leaves many details up...

We live close to Detroit, you’re welcome to stop by if you happen to be in our area.

We’re building a CruZer. It’s a very docile plane, I haven’t heard anything negative about its flying characteristics. The few accidents that have happened were all caused either by significant pilot error or engine failure due to various reasons, caused by the builder. If you’re looking for a...

This would be awesome, however: “Last Update 04.November 2017”

Maybe I missed it, but is there a way to also take winds aloft into consideration?

Thank you for your responses. I guess you're talking about Main Aero Services in Bangor. When I inquired at shops a while ago, I however skipped them because its such a major pain to get the plane there and to pick it up again. I have yet to call our FSDO, I still haven't given up hope to get...

That's one of the companies I contacted. Maybe I'm missing something or am just ignorant, but I just don't see how the installation of a t-connector, a pump, some cables and a breaker can cost almost $10K. I figure the material costs would be between $1k and $1.5k, plus maybe 5 hours for the...

We always carry an InReach on the person, wear life vests and talk to ATC while flying over the lake. Chances are therefore high that we would quickly be found if we ever had to ditch. Also note, that the occupants usually make it safely out of the plane after a ditching. I would much rather...
