I bought a 69 Beech Musketeer that @Halffast has now for my first plane while getting my private certificate. Same airframe as a sundowner basically. I now have a Sierra so obviously still love the models. They are good, strong and roomy airplanes. Not fast but good payload at least. They are...

Tankless electric uses a large amount of power but only while in use. A large whole house system will normally need 3 dedicated 40 amp circuits at 240V. At least 2 circuits for a smaller unit. It does give you unlimited hot water but not really a big money saver in the long run. If you had...

I just went through this same process and ended up deciding on the dual GI-275’s. My avionics guy did not recommend the aspen even though it does look to be very capable. The price difference was not that much for the 2 different Garmin products so I went with the newer units to future proof as...

My wife and I booked a room in the lodge today. Been a long time since I saw or talked to any of y’all so looking forward to it.

That’s very cool. How much did all of that cost you?

I have been averaging around 7-10k per year on my complex single. I don’t fly as much as I should but I do all of my maintenance and repairs under the supervision of my mechanic. My annuals are $1000 plus parts or supplies that I buy even when I do upgrades. I don’t fly as much as I should or...

I will try to either fly in or drive over either Saturday or Sunday for a while. Only about a 1:15 drive from Panama City for me if traffic isn’t awful. Hopefully the weather cooperates as well.

My mechanics charge $85 per hour but normally just charge me for the whole job and are very fair. I do all of the grunt work and learn under their instruction when able since they are very busy. Semi-Local avionics shop in Milton FL charge $65/ hour which is cheap I’ve heard. They are all older...

I don’t have either of those planes but you are welcome to come for a flight with me in my Beech Sierra. I’m based at ECP in Panama City. Your height might be an issue in it though as well. No charge if you want to go up in it sometime as it gives me a good reason to go flying. My mechanic on...

I am cleaning out the items collecting dust in my house at the behest and strong urgings of my wife. Everything is in working order last time I used them which has been in the last 3 years in the worst case. Please let me know if you have any questions. Buyer pays shipping for all items unless...

I have a King KN75 glideslope receiver and bracket that I know longer need. I believe it has Mods 1-4 from the markings on the rear. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks for the interest. $50.00 OBO and buyer pays shipping.

I have a TKM MX 12 that I removed out of my prior plane due to it no longer transmitting. The display works fine as does the receiving of incoming radio frequencies. I do not have the mounting bracket/rack. The Nav side worked as well for VORs. Thanks for the interest and let me know if you have...

I’m going to set a 2 year reminder to necropost to this thread if it over dies down. I for one don’t mind most of the necroposts since I haven’t been around but a few years. I always check the original date of the thread and get the gist before going to the end to avoid the accidental piling...

It’s only about an hour drive for me so I would probably just drive/ fly for the day depending on weather. After Labor Day things normally slow down some but it never really dies down completely anymore it seems. I’ve actually never landed at DTS but is a beautiful area to fly over for sure...

That looks like a lot of fun. I’ve never flown in a tail wheel before but definitely want to.

Why only a winter gulf coast fly-in? Summer is better for swimming. After all, it’s only a WET heat. There is private grass strip (2FL0) about 30 minutes north of the beach though and about 15-20 minutes drive time from ECP.

When would it be? I’ve heard y’all talking about it and sounded fun. My wife thought it looked like a cool place too so bonus. Only a little farther than Rough River for me.

I flew my wife and 2 kids the next day from Panama City to Merritt Island. I was not nervous exactly but was very tuned in for sure. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I ordered 2 filters (tempest 48110-2) from mcfarlane last Thursday. They were back ordered until April sometime. However, I just received them both today without even getting a shipment email. I only paid about $33 each including shipping. Crazy. Maybe I should play the lottery today… Sent...
