    Seller: Pre-Buy MUST be done at home base

    I’m rather cynical and think there is a chapter to this seller/plane that is unheard. For a prebuy, the worst option is having the guy who has been working on it for years doing the prebuy. What’s he gonna do, dime himself out? OP. Look at it from a business perspective like buying a...

    30% increase in flying cost.

    Sounds to me like you have been underpaying for years.

    Flow valve for O2 cannula

    Buy an O2D2. Turn it on when you want to. It doesn’t flow when it’s off.

    Teardrop Pattern Entry

    Coleslaw.. what if the pilot is entering on a left 45 for the right teardrop to right downwind with coleslaw in sight? I think some of you guys would depart the area, any traffic advise with a last call for the option.

    Less Than Truthful With ATC

    Was it Arlington vs Grand Prairie in the DFW Metroplex? I did that. Tower asked if I wanted to go there instead while laughing at me. I said, no your gas is cheaper. He said, good call and set me up for a downwind.

    Does having it on ForeFlight count? Seems to work for traffic.

    Teardrop Pattern Entry

    I was talking to a pilot at the airport who said he was up flying when it happened. He said she did a overhead break and for no reason went straight in. He opined she locked up and never woke up. Is there a prelim on it somewhere? First I’m hearing of smoke.

    Teardrop Pattern Entry

    Well, if we are going to argue semantics, it is the sudden impact with the ground that kills. What leads up to that point is the subject of argument though.

    Teardrop Pattern Entry

    The OH break just killed a lady at Patty Wagstaffs airport in an Extra 300 this week. Speculation is she G-locked and augered in while in the pattern. We get ALOT of pilot mill traffic at my airport from ERAU and ATP. The tear drop is definitely being used by these large organizations.

    Where Will the Price of Avgas Settle?

    It's zero % of my budget. I've been in the shop for just under a year now. The loan note, insurance and Hangar rent have remained the same though, so there is that.

    Planeless no more! - Hypothetically ;)

    My Turbo would see 430 by the time I was at pattern altitude. Step climbs were mandatory during the summer till I could find cool air. If I could ever get my ride out of the avionics bay, I could tell you how it does with the TurboPlus kit. Between the intercooler upgrade and the G3X/GFC 500...

    What's it called (The winged screw lock for securing things)
