    Overweight - Should I even waste my time?

    I'm with @Tarheelpilot - it isn't pointless. An AME can tell you much more specifically, but either way it isn't pointless. There are MANY people who fly with friends or instructors that can't get a medical, and experience incredible enjoyment from doing so. It is also totally possible that you...

    aviation loans and insurance - what do we need to know?

    No - I mean, and I could be completely wrong here, but don't you need 100hr PIC VFR before you can get your IFR rating?

    6Y3 - North Fox Island: tell me everything!

    I see N17098's reputation precedes me hehe. Honestly, I don't know if WMFA's rental agreement supports grass fields, but if it does I look forward to it. We'll see if I get there before joining the mohawk club. Place your bets!

    aviation loans and insurance - what do we need to know?

    Yeah - the C150 was just an example. If I do buy a plane, I'll look high and low for an amphibian. I am particularly attracted to the Lakes (Buc's and Renegades - not the bodies of water, though probably them too lol).

    aviation loans and insurance - what do we need to know?

    Thanks everyone - very good info, and I'm really greatful for it. I will be thinking through the above! Does this work for your IFR minimum hours too?

    6Y3 - North Fox Island: tell me everything!

    Probably weight more than space, though if they had camping gear then I suppose space would have been at a premium too!

    6Y3 - North Fox Island: tell me everything!

    Wow guys - this is fantastic. Thank you for the great information. I don't see any 150's. POH says it should be more than a little possible - does experience say otherwise?

    Overweight - Should I even waste my time?

    check out http://jimmyakin.com/fast - Jimmy stopped updating this document in 2016, but has lost more than 100 lbs. I personally lost more than 50 lbs, and kept it off for a year using IF. If it is interesting to you, watch the video(s) at the bottom by Dr. Jason Fung. Personally, I found them...

    Overweight - Should I even waste my time?

    @Kanjc I need another post before I can include a link, but a friend of mine struggled with weight in the same order of magnitude as you've described above, and documented what he did to deal with it. It works really well, and for some people it isn't all that hard. Next post...

    aviation loans and insurance - what do we need to know?

    Hey all! I bet there is a lot of experience here that would be really useful to a new pilot. Would you mind answering a few questions for me on aviation loans? I apologize upfront that this isn't more organized. I've seen loan terms as long as 20 years - any idea what kind of loan amount a...

    6Y3 - North Fox Island: tell me everything!

    Hey everyone! I'm a student pilot (PPL nearly complete), and can't stop thinking about 6Y3. It has taken on the focus of my vision for the next step in my aviation journey (unique adventures with my kids). I did some searching and found a few pictures and videos, but no threads dedicated to the...

    Crosswind landings

    Let's talk about this - I wasn't aware of a rudder-aileron interconnect spring in the 172. Is that common to them all? Does the 150 have that?

    Crosswind landings

    I've seen those landings where truer words were never spoken. <3
