That actually was my plan...well, sort of. I've owned/bought/sold 6 planes in my past. I've found a plane normally takes a few weeks, if not a few months, to sell. My plan was to put my plane up for sale, while looking for the replacement. This market is nuts, and my Cherokee sold in...

LOL, and here I am now, with a pre-purchase scheduled on Monday on a pristine Arrow. I would have loved to have the speed of that M20J I looked at, but I'll take some comfort instead. Looking back, that $500 trip to Texas was some of the best money I've ever spent to find out a Mooney isn't...

So in my nightly searches of Barnstormers, TAP, etc, I came across an ad with this shot. I'm not sure it makes me want to buy the plane. I guess it does say, "Current owner trusts both the autopilot and big sky theory".

Its been 23 years now, so my memory is a little foggy, but I built my own grass strip. FAA wasn't an issue at all, neither was my state. The BIG issue was the township. They had no ordinance against it when I started, but it was a race for them to write and pass an ordinance vs me getting a...

He's not involved, he just read the contract (maybe you didn't see the link?).

Ok, we seem to be in agreement here. I made an offer on a different plane last fall to a broker, and I paid for the pre-buy (which it failed miserably) without it ever crossing my mind that somehow the seller should pay for that. On this current plane, the seller and I just crossed out that...

I made an offer on a plane the other day, and since I'm attempting to buy a plane for much more than any plane I've owned in the past (by a factor of over x3), I'm trying to do everything "by the book". The planes I've purchased in the past: no pre-buy, no contract, etc., and I bought them...

FYI the City-Data website seems quite a few years behind. My info is showing before the last time I moved, which is about 3 years ago. Maybe it is because I've now blocked my current address from look up in the FAA data...?

The website www.city-data.com will let you do that search.

About 2 years ago, I started price comparing Amazon with EBay. eBay was almost always considerably cheaper. I no longer price compare anything…I just do all my ordering from eBay.

$250k for a '79 arrow with 5000+ hours and a gear up in its past...no wonder they didn't want to say. I'd be embarrassed to say that too.

Reminds me of the Earl Nightingale quote, "When you judge others, you do not define them, you define yourself."

Ha! Mind blown! I never thought of that angle!

So in my search for a new plane, I've come across this Piper Arrow: https://www.trade-a-plane.com/search?category_level1=Single+Engine+Piston&make=PIPER&model=ARROW+IV&listing_id=2395462&s-type=aircraft The ad has no price listed (which typically irks me to begin with), but its a very clean...

Sounds about right. I built my own grass strip from a hay meadow. You can do wonders with a farm tractor and some implements.

This is my story as well. My elderly parents bought a pair of the fat tire ebikes (they live in the sticks, far from any paved roads). My girlfriend and I borrowed them one day, and we had a blast. I would still prefer a regular bike for exercise, but now I'd like folding ebikes for the...

Why wouldn't flying deceased persons be cool? Beats hauling them by sled dog. Some people can't handle reality... and reality is, people die. Sad when its someone you know, but not much anyone can do about it after the fact other than treat them with respect, and do you job. I bet some...

Try the serenity prayer.

Sorry, but most people's actions show a dog is a tool, it's just an emotional one. You wouldn't let your child ride in your lap, between you and the steering wheel/air bag, yet I see this daily with dogs. When people lose a child, they don't go out and try to replace them nearly immediately...

I notice you're using past tense...what happened?
