I actually didn't know standard Windex was bad for acrylic, but apparently that's the case. I'll look for an alternative.

Thank you! I appreciate it! Yeah, I'm extremely hard on myself in general. Some weird personality thing, I guess.

Naw. They're a little skittish. :D

Taking my first passenger up. Flew my buddy Mike around Mt. Rainier, one of the most awesome objects on planet Earth. YouTube video link: https://bit.ly/3rki4pA

I have a couple other videos already uploaded and scheduled to go live: taking up my first passenger for a trip around Mt. Rainier (a friend), and taking up my second passenger for a tour over Tacoma (my wife). I've also already created a "teaser trailer" of my big trip. It's uploaded, but not...

My first flight, post-check ride (YouTube video): https://bit.ly/36sgkCH

I'm putting a new panel in my Luscombe. While I'm in there with good access, I want to clean up the inside of the firewall. It looks awful now. There was definitely something on it before and it's peeling off now. I want to clean that off and get it looking nicer before getting the new panel put...

I don't have the logs in front of me, but I believe due to an AD, the vertical stabilizer bracket was replaced and maybe some other work done on the tail around 2000. I just bought the plane a year ago, so that was before my time. The plane also came with white ailerons and the top of the cabin...

I don't know why you couldn't easily and safely fly a Bonanza at 500 AGL, if you wanted to. I would think that would be very enjoyable!

I hadn't heard that they'd been shut down, but don't know for sure.

I do plan on making a set of videos for my YouTube channel, but hadn't planned on doing anything else regarding writing or stills.

I'll have to check with my A&P/IA and see what he says about the Continental C-85, considering what happened to me.

I actually feel really fortunate to have gotten a solid airframe for a good price. I got the two 12.5 gallon tanks, the pull handle, and the shoulder harnesses, all things I wanted. I've made a number of improvements and more are in the works. I've really enjoyed the plane so far.

I don't remember if I posted that here or not. I actually confirmed for myself on this very trip what I had been told on the Luscombe facebook group. I have two 12.5-gallon tanks and it's all usable. The tank ran dry at around 2 hours 22 minutes, so I could theoretically go 4:44, plus or minus.

Thank you so much! That makes me happy.

Thanks! Other than some local trips, the next semi-big thing I want to do is a series of small (weekend?) trips covering the length of the entire Cascades. The most challenging, I think, will be flying up to Silverthrone Caldera at the northern end of the range. Tacoma to Port Hardy is a good...
