Sure. My gripe is more with the fuel selector than the tanks per se, it can be finicky and hard to tell if you’ve hit one of the detents in flight.

We have a ‘65 235 with fixed prop, climbs like crazy. Agree with previous poster that the 4 tanks suck, and agree with keeping a little power in on final. Great plane though and once you’re used to the extra nose weight it’s as easy to fly as anything else.

Same here

Thanks Dave!

Got a couple tickets to a practice round this year and thought if the weather was nice I’d make a flight out of the day as well. I don’t know what they will be limiting attendance to this year, but in a normal year, has anyone flown into there? Is it too busy with jet traffic to even bother? It...

Sounds like EQY might be the closest, no idea what the hangar situation is like there but I doubt it’s very good.

Not playing on my phone either

How close to Charlotte are you trying to stay?

Thinking about making it to this as well. Probably won’t know for sure until a few days before

Never flown barefoot, never really even thought about it. I just go with whatever I have on.

Landing north isn’t too bad. Never done it the other way. Taking off north in a 150, with an overweight CFI, in the middle of summer is not something I ever wanted to do after the first attempt. Those trees at the end of 35 came up a lot quicker than expected lol.

They should be able to hear the tablets fine, but if you have time, look on Craigslist/eBay for a couple of used sets of Bose QC25’s. Cheap enough and will keep them much more comfortable

I bought a 16’ car hauler that had mobile home axles on it several years ago. Ended up replacing the axles with some dexters with regular hubs and trailer tires. From what I remember it’s the tires that are made for mobile homes that are the most worrisome part, not necessarily the axles.

I saw a Craigslist ad recently for a new club forming at EXX

I’m in a club based at KVUJ, Stanly County. Airport is probably a little further than that to get to Greensboro but if you lived in between it could work. PM me if you want some info on it

How close to Greensboro are you wanting to live?

Yea you just posted exactly what I have in mind, I’ll just be starting out about an hour east of CLT. Look forward to hearing how it goes for you, I’m not looking to do this until next October

Failed my first one as well and I was onside the mode c, under bravo. After I got the report I looked around and found something that said doing 360 degree turns and other “maneuvers was no longer recommended. Went back up to the same area and just flew around for 30 minutes, shallow turns...
