If you can afford it now, buy a 182. Its not like its going to be worth less in 2 years.

They are not yet talking about what kind of power it will need nor how many seats.

Being able to change your plan? Yes. Sure its handy. But its also something I never had to practice. If you've got enough time in the seat, you'll be able to do it without thinking about it. Not a big deal at all at that point really. But you changing your plan is not what I'm talking about. I'm...

This is exactly what I was getting at. If you've got lots of time in the seat and you're constantly flying the plane like its an extension of your arms and legs, then please disregard these comments because they're not meant for you. If that's not the case, then decide what kind of landing...

True you can. Doesn't mean you should IMO. Especially if you're low on tailwheel time.

Landing type (3pt or wheel) should be decided before you get anywhere near final IMO.

I saw a video of him talking to people after he landed. He said he tuned tower and didn't hear anything, as in zero traffic in VFR conditions with heavy rain throughout the area. He said he offered to fly south to fisk and come back in that way and simply asked if there was any chance he could...

How does setting that up work? I tried to look into renting an RV a bit when we were planning our last trip. From what I could tell, reserving an RV and even having the owner bring it out/set it up/take it back was a problem that was easily solved by throwing money at the situation. But...

A climb rate, is a climb rate, is a climb rate. It didn't happen often, but I had tows in my banner days where best I could get out of it was about 25 fpm. You know what? When its all the plane will do, a 25 fpm climb is better than a 25 fpm descent. I'd fly a nice gentle circle over the water...

I had absolutely no trouble getting a room at the Hilton... ...when I was there for a basic metal work class in January last year. ;) During show week I think its nearly impossible to get a room there. And if you do find an available room there, expect it to cost a lot more than I paid in...

Same. Its been quite a while now so I can't swear that we weren't limited to partial flaps for normal ops but I certainly don't recall that being the case. And we did more than our fair share of go arounds during my training, and flaps are the last thing that gets touched during that procedure...

If you're going to photoshop the ship, why not photoshop the V-braces too? Who's going to know? Beyond that, if you're looking for a side by side bush plane with V-braces, you're looking for a Maule or C185 or possibly a Rans or a Kitfox. Youtube has a bunch of Rans and Kitfox guys who love to...

Interesting video on it if you haven't seen it.

I could be forgetting one or two, but I believe every banner plane I ever flew had more HP than it left the factory with. Several of them had more wing and more fuel capacity as well.

If I'm reading it correctly, you're looking for an over the shoulder shot of a pilot that shows the view over the nose and part of the upper portion of the panel. What would make the plane in a shot like that look 'bush-ish'? Is it just the high wing vs low wing or are you thinking older steam...

It doesn't but that plane probably has an O-320 hanging on it.

100% agree, it doesn't make sense. I guess I did not realize your only interest was hearing an answer from IK04 on the reason for the policy in that particular club. My apologies.

1063 is 19.36% of 5492. IF AND ONLY IF only 5492 in world have received the vaccine, then your statement would be true. But many millions of people have been fully vaccinated. And of those, 1063 have died from Covid. 1063 is NOT TWENT MOTHER EFFING PERCENT of many millions. Please don't spread...

No argument. Because they want to. Agreed. Your question was why would a flying club have such a policy. I gave some possible reasons. Nowhere in my answer did I claim the reasons would make sense. Which is the point I was making. Flying clubs can be one of the most affordable ways to get...
