    Airplane Raffle

    Looking for some input. Basically I thought I could be more effective with Angel Flight than just doing flights 3 or 4 times a month. I have the means and the time to start my own 501(c)(3) and capitalize it. Plan is... 1. Lawyers ...ugh luckily I have two on retainer. They are on it. 2. CPA...

    3-blade vs. 2-blade prop (Cessna 182)

    The 182 has some very specific characteristics that make a 3 bladed prop really not worth it unless you have a lot of horsepower. 3x yes 3x I have put a new prop on a 182 everytime I did it first thought was "well there is $5k I can't get back...." Look it looks cooler and it is marginally...

    Lightspeed announcement 11/12

    That dude looked pretty happy with the headset. I wonder if the haters will say anything if they are wrong about them. I would love wireless headsets. I am flying to Sarasota the moment they are in stock to try them out.

    Negotiating repairs with seller after prebuy

    $5 solution I am big fan of liens. I have to file hundreds each year in my line of work. I had a lien hold up one of my airplane purchases it was a $10 landing fee from 3 years ago that was unpaid. I negotiated it to zero with a phone call and a promise to pay it if I ever landed there...

    Negotiating repairs with seller after prebuy

    What kind of wife should I get?

    I think if you rent you can get a "faster, more acrobatic" model. Bigger flaps, tighter cockpit you get the idea....

    Every July; Seems like it's 'free 5 days rent' month, and I'm sick of it

    Please don't ever consider being a landlord. Tenants are literally a dime a dozen. Bad ones out...good ones I took care of and stayed. Most eventually bought the unit from me. Took five years but I sold everyone of them not a single loser.

    everyone thinks its easy until you have 150K due every 1st and you don't get it. If you want to get out let me know I got rid of everyone of them by lease to own and made a fortune without any repairs or letters...it was awesome.

    1) goto beach 2) find lamp, start rubbing... renters rent for a reason...I had a over 75 MH's at one time and many houses. a dozen or so of the houses were real value over $500K...they were literally the worst of the bunch. You can scare a single mom in a 500.00 MH . The dick in your $650K...

    You can but most of my "customers" were light on the things that most adults take for granted, like bank accounts.
