You didn't really state what your load carrying requirements are but I agree with some others in the fact you just need a higher performance airplane, not necessarily a turbo. RV10, Bellanca Viking, 520 Bonanza, Big engine mooney. Keep the arrow and get a 2 place experimental for the NY trip.

I’d wager an early 310 or 55 Baron would out perform a turbo PA30 for about the same operating cost.

You’d have to do a lot of serious cross Country trips to justify a turbo. What type Of plane are you looking at? Maybe there is a different model that provides the same capability as the turbo model you are looking at. For example a 550 powered Mooney probably provides similar or better...

Flying has gotten too expensive for my budget as well. If my plane gets to the point of needing a pricey repair I will likely bow out all together. I still enjoy it but the cost has surpassed my joy. The only real travel I care to do is the occasional trip to the coast for the day or to...

Now that the loaner has been returned I will say one huge benefit I imagine applies to all EV’s is the low center of gravity. Even when driven normally you can tell in how the suspension behaves. It’s like having a sailboat keel. Every bump translates as a vertical motion instead of the side to...

What it really is, is a station wagon/hatchback. Seating position and ground clearance is too low to be considered a crossover.

It is definitely a blue color.

It's missing. The bag it would be in is open and only the 50amp plug is present.

Mixed emotions. Full disclosure I've always been a GM guy so a lot of my feelings are based on the way my vehicles have always been. I got the Corsair because of value and it checked all the boxes. Nothing worth getting rid of it over but enough to where I probably wouldn't get it again. I...

Only connector in the trunk is a 50 amp style plug

Since @Mtns2Skies thread got shut down I'll stir the pot again. Took my Lincoln Corsair in to finally get a recall fixed. They gave me a MachE GT all wheel drive as a loaner. I assume this is part of their directive to push EV's out to boost sales. I've said many times I am not an EV guy, at...

SB commercials haven't been funny in years. You pretty much can't be funny without offending someone these days.

Until people draw a line in the sand prices will keep being crazy. There are enough rich people that don’t care about 30-60k or more pricing swings. They just buy and will worry about it later. Some how we have gotten to the point that people treat 10k like it’s 30k and 60k like it’s 30k. Oddly...

I've made offers on a few airplanes and the general response is "I have more than that in it". Well if you bought a plane the last 2-3 years yea, you have too much in it. The other thing that drives me nuts are the people who keep listing their planes over and over and over again at the same...

Will it be called the Off topic from off topic from Off topic forum? Wait, then we will need Off topic off topic off topic off topic sub forum to separate EV from gas. Then off topic off topic off topic off topic off topic off topic off topic just for Ted's purchases.

No need for another sub forum.

They also remove the paint and trap moisture which will cause rust. Not to mention turn the engine compartment into a torture device for your arms if the ends aren't cut cleanly.

Lot's of people only willing to sell if they can turn a profit right now. They see one posted for sale and set their price accordingly yet have no idea if the other sold. The market is so odd right now that it seems people see a plane like theirs for sale and list theirs for even more despite...

Funny thing is, excluding the Ridgeline all the rest are making a comeback in a way. They were just ahead of their time. The new EV Silverado has the Avalanche mid gate. The Sport Trac is essentially what every midsize truck is now. The El Camino is the Ford Maverick. The Avalanche was an...
