    Damage History - What would you do?

    I would not be overly concerned about the damage history. I'm not sure about whether or not the 337 is sufficient or what. If I were in your shoes, I would try to find out the 337 question but not be too worried about the old repair. Since the shop that did the repair is still in business...

    X-C Plane Selection Advice

    When you narrow your list down, I would recommend you take your wife to "try on" the ones you think fit best. I personally don't care for climbing over the right seat to board and really like having two doors. To each his or her own, though.

    Possibly reported for VFR on Top

    I think the lesson here is that if you are going to fly VFR over-the-top, it would be very helpful and contribute to safety if you were on VFR flight following. Even at 1,000 feet above, a Citation poping out of the top of the cloud would be on you before you could say Jack Robinson. Then...

    Going for Sport Cert - but train in a 150?

    Unless it is a huge difference in distance, I would start with the LSA from the beginning.

    how much confidence do you have in fuel gauges?

    I use elapsed time, supplemented with the gauges. I don’t intend to be “that guy.”

    Future of aircraft pricing, 6months to a year from now.....

    I just sold one that I did an engine overhaul for in 2020. While you are 100% correct, if I factor in some (or a lot of) the mental benefit and stress reduction I got from owning the airplane, I think I about broke even. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it! :)

    Help me spend up to 165k

    Congratulations, Supereri! And I saw your other post where you said it does have a NAV radio also. You should be good to go! Have fun.

    Future of aircraft pricing, 6months to a year from now.....

    Similar to ServoB17, compared to what? When a new pickup truck is over $50,000, maybe, just maybe, airplanes have been underpriced. I think the pandemic may have made people start thinking about how short life can be and if you want to do something, you might ought to get to it.

    How long until the pre-GARA fleet of aircraft are gone?

    It is expensive, but a lot of owners upgrade their older airplanes to just about as good as new. I think we lose more in accidents than aging out.

    Just bought my own plane

    I sometimes get kind of tired of people saying this airplane or that airplane is a “good time builder,” or some such subtle put down. Unless a person is super rich, there are always going to be airplanes that are farther up the food chain than the one they have or want. If you have an aerial...

    I’m calling the peak

    That is a tough decision, Terry. Trying to be financially responsible during these turbulent times is difficult at best. But then again, you only get one turn in this life. I would probably jump on it, but that is just me. I really don’t understand Why prices jumped like they have so whether...

    Insurance question

    If you have the disposable income, buy. Talk to insurance company first, though.

    Any good landing tips while on final?

    I always keep one hand on the throttle as well. If you flare a little high are slow and start to sink, adding a little bit (just a touch) of power will help ease the airplane down.

    Nashville area pre-purchase inspection

    Paul New at KMKL (Jackson, TN) would be a good one if he is willing to do it for you. Alternately, he might be able to recommend someone.

    G5's vs Steam Gauges

    I agree with your finding, Ron. That is why I don’t care for digital watches.

    Comm radio replacement costs?

    My guess is the thread you linked would get you pretty close. I would add a little and figure that good for your purposes of shopping for an airplane. You really only need one radio for the type of flying you plan to do.
