    Plane Prices

    Take gas, blend in water, remove ethanol. Takes roughly a week or so if you do it correctly. That's the simple version without drawing a PFD for you. Not sure why its causing so much anger all of a sudden like I'm threatening peoples jobs or calling them stupid... It's also fairly off topic...

    Plane Prices

    That's not what I was claiming, sorry for the confusion. I was trying to explain that boosting octane was as simple as scrubbing ethanol from regular pump gas. Neither of them are a hard process. I personally would scrub the ethanol and then boost the octane.

    Plane Prices

    You can convert fuel fairly cheaply. Most people don't know this because most don't make fuel and additives for a living but if 100ll went away people would just buy pump gas and make it themselves. Just like you can clean fuel with water and take out the ethanol.

    Plane Prices

    I kicked around the idea of buying a plane for months. Was the market overpriced? will it come down? will I be upside down in my loan? If the world goes to crap can I get out and be fine? Then one day I read a post that resonated with me. The guy said," It doesn't matter what you do a plane will...

    First Buy and Understanding Taxes

    occasional sale exemption sounds good. Nebraska has a fly away exemption which seems like it covers me from paying their tax since it's immediately leaving the state. Only I'm not sure.

    First Buy and Understanding Taxes

    I found the Texas Use Tax Return, I believe that's probably what you are talking about. You think I won't have to pay an out of state tax also? According to research, I can claim any out of state tax paid against what I owe Texas. If I pay the 8.25% I owe Texas and then Nebraska comes back and...

    First Buy and Understanding Taxes

    Like the title says, I'm buying my first airplane and I can't seem to make sense of how the taxes work. I'm in Texas and I'm trying to purchase an out of state aircraft. This is a person to person purchase so I'm not buying from a business. When and where do I pay the taxes on this? How do I...

    Ask me your hardest checkride questions

    I'll take an educated guess at this but it looks like it's telling you to stop as this is the approach area for runway 15. Need to be aware of potential wake turbulence and get clearance to cross it?

If I were just plying the pattern there could be a maybe that's leagal based on elevation of the ground... Truthfully I'm a little lost. Highest...
