    For Sale 1966 Airworthy Cessna 150 for sale - pilot recently passed, widow selling

    Condolences to the family, and good luck with sale. It is a handsome aircraft. I love my plane, but my family doesn't want to fly with me. I hope that sometime (hopfully far into the future) when it is my time, someone will step forward to help my family sell my plane as you're doing for your...

    Today's flight

    Just posting this because I didn't think my Jupiter Bike would fit in the wing locker of my LSA... but it does! :) If any of you know of the Sportcruiser, the wing lockers are decently sized, but this is the only eBike I know of that will fit (with some room to spare!)

    Where/how do you store your aircraft logbooks?

    Like you, I have scanned and uploaded the logbooks to the cloud. I use "Scanner Pro" for my iPhone and I can add pages as needed, and just re-upload to the cloud whenever I need to update. As for the physical log books - I keep them FAR from the plane unless it's maintenance time. The...

    2020 or 2021? Opinions requested...

    2020 was so bad, that I bought the T-shirt just to emphasize the point.

    [N/A] CFIT...

    Well, I would recommend that if SkyChaser is going to go Taurus, get a Taurus SHO. Late 80's model had the Yamaha V6 that was fun and punchy for its time (and manual transmission.) Probably very reasonably priced now. Or if so inclined, a SVT Contour. I had one of those and it was a lot of...

    [N/A] CFIT...

    The Escort saved your life, so easy to love something that protects you. You can fix, or possibly replace it? Parts are likely not too expensive and if there's no frame damage or airbag deployment, you may get away with fixing it for not too much...

    Run-Up Area Etiquette

    Some folks are unaware and self focused, and some do it deliberately. Whether the run-up, or in my case, the line to take off at an untowered airport. I try very hard to be courteous, pull all the way up at the run-up area. If I hear people coming to the run-up area, I'll turn my plane at an...

    Long Solo XC Done!

    Ditto what the others have stated - Congrats on your long XC! That looks like a memorable trip... and GREAT use of aeronautical decision making to have the line guy fuel up your plane while in the FBO. :p;) Looking forward to reading about your checkride and certificate! :)

    Today's flight

    For anyone interested, I folded and measured the Jupiter Bike. I didn't remove the seat, so the measurement (to the tip of the seat) is about 21" tall by 19" wide. My analog scale said it was 25 pounds (not including backpack and charger.) In my plane (LSA) it fits in the right seat pretty well.
