And why are you obscuring the N number in one photo when you can pick it up in other photos? Just curious.

What is your adsb out solution?

One thing about the Luscombe is that if you're 6ft tall that's marginal, over 6ft tall you're probably not going to like it.

If you're going the old taildragger route, I really think the Luscombe is the best of the lot. It cruises the fastest, I would imagine, at a nice 105 mph cruise, and can handle gentleman aerobatics. I did loops and rolls in the one I flew. Loops no problem but my rolls needed some work so I...

What's your budget? I love the 8A Luscombe which qualifies as light sport. Course you have to hand-prop it but that's fun. You can get a nice one for $20K.

Thank you. Regrettably, the owner felt there were some issues with that airplane that made it a better option for him to part it out than to deal with the issues. Personally, I thought the airplane was fine. Anyway, he has another 8A that he's putting together and hopefully we'll be flying that...

Oh, FFS.

Just to help my fellow POA members form a more complete image of what this thread is about...

@LoLPilot I wish I could set you up with my CFII. There would be no way I would be fighting the needle on an ILS approach. She would never let me get two dots off. She would yell in her Czech accent "if you can't do it in VFR how the hell you expect to ever do it in IFR!" That was the kind of...

Good on you for tackling PPL in a Luscombe! I have about 100 hours in an 8A and did my tailwheel endorsement in the same airplane. The instructor let me sit in the left seat from the start even though I was a fairly low time pilot with no tailwheel time because I guess he felt good about me. He...

These days stupid spammy marketers spoof your local area code. So when I get one of those, I always ask hey what's your phone number? What do you mean they say. You know, you're a business right, what's your phone number? They usually hang up about then.

I passed my IR checkride last year and I will pass on what I learned. 1. Blow him away on the oral if you can. If you impress him on the oral, he's much more likely to look on you favorably on the practical. 2. Don't do things that are stupid and show bad ADM. The airplane I used for my...

No comment on closet attorney. Except that he should come out, this is 2019!

Thanks. I took an early retirement in 2012 to do airplane stuff. I was a civil engineer. I went to A&P school for 2 -1/2 years and got my ticket in 2015. Worked a couple places that weren't so great but then had the opportunity to work all last year restoring Beech 18s. The owner gave me the...

Regarding tips, if you can get ahold of a lighter bike something like a 250 or 350, or even smaller, try riding it on wet grass. That will help you learn the control needed if you ever run into an issue on the road.

I have an 1100 Virago and it's probably close to what you're looking for. I think it has straight pipes on it. I haven't run it in a while. I'm converting it to a bobber. I used to have an 1100 or 1200 Magna but I don't see that as having that rumble you're looking for. That was a while back.

Better still would be to post the video here and grant the ticket by a two-thirds majority vote.

The DME for my A&P had a six month wait. But I knew that going in and it is understandable given that there are not that many people here in South Florida that can give the test and there are lots of applicants. I did not expect my instrument checkride to take four months probably to schedule...
