Photographer was probably non pilot and was focused on his job namely to get the best quality picture

Signature did my engine back in 2009. Awesome folks. They are very responsive to any question or issues for quite a while after the work was done. My engine has 1300 hours since OH and still runs like champ.

stopped counting after 1200 or so landings. Used to lots of short flights and airport hopping while ago but for last 5 years mostly cross countries.

I want to put some good words for the GA related companies that are truly willing to help out us the little guys. I found oil filter on their website at the lowest price on the internet and they are the only one with free shipping even with the purchase of only one filter. In the past also I...

I am always wary of this website- Skygek but today while searching for a deal on oil filters I came across the filter listing on Skygeek. Looks like they are selling filter with no box at discounted price and there is a $15 manufacture certificate fee. Whats going on here ?

The biggest problem I have with highspeed descent is high rate of cylinder cooling and IAS going into yellow arc which is only allowed in smooth air .

Well I thought about ovehauling prop before putting on market. The props by the way are in great shape because plane flies regularly. I asked that question on this forum and consensus was to leave them alone since tinkering with props working so good will create new issues and set the asking...

Absolutely they can be removed for picture as well as forever. But I thought they kind of add to the comfort and style of the airplane. But I will remove them and take new shots.

Thanks I will do that

Well, very few single engine GA airplanes can handle ice and my plane can not What I meant was that this plane has more weather capability than average. A 2 axis AP with glide slope hold working in conjunction Aspen , WAAS GPS and GPSS steering makes low approaches a breeze. I do not hesitate...

Yeah right like Straight tail Lances had never crashed. Here is what I found out about T tail Lance after flying her for 1300 + hours 1.You get used to the personality of the airplane very quickly. 2. It does require little tug on elevator controls on TO and rotation speed is 75 KTs which is...

Good way of thinking i will change that

No offence taken. I agree with you 100 % and I fully understand that its the weakest selling point of my plane. But as I become more familiar with GA I realize that low AFT is overrated.

Low time planes are nice provided they have decent airframes. I have seen my share of 2000 something hours AF time hangar queens. Plane that is 40 years old and has 2000 hours most likely spent many years without being flown with birds and pest infestations. My plane had 5800 something hours...

The Lance is just too big for me. kids are out of home and have no interest in flying with me. Plus I am tired of flying the same thing all the time and need to do something new. I am eyeball deep into helicopter training and have invested some serious money into training. I will probably finish...

All good points I said interior is in acceptable condition to be honest with potential buyer. I felt that I should present the airplane the way I will see if I am a buyer

Thanks for the response About T tail : its a definitely OWT. After you make about 20 landings you will forget that you have T tail. It will become second nature to adjust to the personality of the airplane. I have made close to 1500 landings in this plane and never felt a lack of elevator...

I have listed my airplane on TAP for almost 3 weeks and there is not a single inquiry about the plane. I want to sale the plane and move to rotorcraft world by the end of October. I thought market is pretty good for singles. I am looking for ideas to generate interest in the plane and expedite...

No Training for helicopters. The plane is too big for me since kids are grown up. Plan is is to get a R22 after finishing training.

Finally I have put my beloved Lance on sale at TAP. Here is the details. It 1978 Lance II. Tail # 31573. Its regularly flown airplane. TAFT is 7180. Engine was OHed in 2008 and has 1300 hours with only one owner ever touched the engine controls. Engine was OHed with factory new cylinders and...
