Yup. even at those figures i think I’ll shoot the RNAV

Can't wait- already have the fever. Just trying to decide whether to park in Vintage or the North 40, since I have a vintage plane now. We came in last year on Saturday IFR and then broke it off to try the FISK arrival because it was being reported as good vis. It was drizzly MVFR and I...

We got put there last year because of how wet it was everywhere. It was pretty low key and nice facilities. People around us were cranky about not being in the north 40.

We always get there on Saturday. Never an issue.

well the plane I am buying qualifies for Vintage parking at Osh Kosh. Would you do that or park in the north 40 as usual? The air show view from vintage is pretty good but afraid of poor shower access and missing out on the n40 comraderie.

Yes i am active in that forum too. I just thought since this was a general 470 engine question I’d get good response here. Why limit it to beech drivers

Beech Debonair.

Pre buy is next week. I’m just reviewing the owners maintenance logs. I think the internet makes it easy to over think things.

This seems a little bit overkill to me to assume a 12 year old engine is in need of replacement. 30 years and 480 hours, maybe, but 12 years and 480 hours is on the light side of regular normal use for a private owner. I hope to put closer to 80 hours a year on the bird but still. I wouldn’t...

So in other words I shouldn’t need to buy the paperwork for simple part 91 pleasure flying.

When ordering parts online I sometimes get the option of "include C of C for $15?" When would I need to pay extra for this? Applies on oil filters, some gasket kits, etc. Thanks

Compression history of IO-470n overhauled in 2006, 480 hours ago. Sort of all over the place, but maybe that isn't uncommon for a bigger Continental. Its not like one individual cyl is consistently weak, one year it may be 60's the next year in the 70's. What do you think? In the pre-buy...

looking for thoughts and words of wisdom on running a tank dry on a long cross country. I’ve never done this before. But, how else to maximize fuel range and leave the max amount in the last tank for approach, landing, missed approach, etc? Is the method to run her til the engine quits and...

Executive order. Where is the FAA in all this?

Exactly what i was looking for. Thanks

Hi Guys- Looking down the barrel at being a first time owner after many years of dreaming- is there a comprehensive list somewhere of things I can do myself, without a sign-off? Do I make logbook entries for this things? I know I can change oil, but what else can I (or can I not) do? Can I...

the plane I am looking at (63 debonair) needs paint. There is some bear aluminum on the leading edges and around the doors. Is paint an immediate need or can it wait a year or two? It will be hangared but tied down at Osh Kosh and during weekend trips.

Wasn’t really being sarcastic, some folks are saying hey if you buy a 210B model, more power to ya. But be ready for that $30,000 bill that comes when a saddle needs replaced or an actuator fails.

Regarding the astronomically expensive landing gear saddles, could a feller just stock up on a pair like this for when the time comes? https://www.ebay.com/p/Cessna-210-Left-Main-Landing-Gear-Saddle/778089369?iid=272252273728&chn=ps

Happened upon a nice, clean, 1962 210B for sale, mid time engine, decent panel that doesn’t look like something from the Flinstones, etc. I look at the airplane like a 182 more than a 210 capability wise since it’s an older one. The power packs have been OH’d in the last year...
