@Mtns2Skies owned a Turbo Viking - my runway excursion is the one that generated the 50 hour nose gear AD. [broken steering knuckle from stress - inspections now required] Wife would not get into one again - plus- they're really inefficient - like using a Tesla drive train for a huge SUV /...

in the Comanche it's 20" of MP and 500 fpm down - I'm over 165 knots usually.

Always know where you are gonna put it down - then it doesn't matter. Every time I'm flying over the city its more inhospitable there than the space between Barstow and Buckeye - lots of places to put down there - flying at 5500 over the San Fernando Valley or Orange County? You're screwed.

50000 more reasons. I have a good 2 ax AP, a 530w, a 330ES, fuel flow, storm scope, HSI, engine monitor - a known airframe and motor - have looked to see what a Bonanza like that costs? Esp if I want to upgrade to a Turbo? I'm slowing convincing myself to just spend the money to do my motor...

I misread it - and failed to read it back.

I honestly wasn't trying to be obnoxious - just telling a story.

and the seller had no friends, no relatives, no offer to move the airplane 20 miles, much less help me get anywhere. I understand that. Yes - I have flown in the midwest. I understand its my responsibility to get the airplane. But when your ad says the airplane is outside Chicago under the...

I own a mac mini and wanted to shove an SSD in there just to boot. So I did. shaved a whole 12 seconds off my 2 min boot time - not sure it was worth the effort finding a cable.

yeah - you're right, I was raised in an environment of constant abuse for saying dumb stuff. It just comes out sometimes- not proud of it. In that situation - do you just respond 'take off clearance canceled' and wait for the next one? It didn't come from sass - it came from "I want him to...

"Warning. Immediate Evacuation ORDERED for wildfire" Which I received for a fire 200nm away. Happened twice - for two different fires. Have a fire burning two miles away? Silence. Airplane crash one mile away? Also silence.

They use our airport [KPOC, La Verne, CA] for controller training a lot. This past Sat AM - I got this whole long clearance from the controller . .. "90P, fly runway heading, I'll call your turn, no turns before the freeway, maintain 2500 or below, noise abatement turn requested." I sat there...

I'd rather spend $85k and have 10 years to a motor - and then sell mine for $85k, than put $35k into a motor . . . nothing wrong with my airplane. I know I'm a pain in the rear on deals - because I can see the pitfalls and try to work them out ahead of time - so the sellers of every airplane...

:eek::eek::rolleyes:

because this is not about me . . . or asking for opinions about me and my conduct or actions. This is a straightforward explanation -

It's a K model - they're not over 100k any more - We're planing on moving to Prescott in a couple years - we're gonna need a turbo to make the trips a little safer.

An N number will tell you who owned the aircraft 14 days ago. The seller here - in the middle of this transaction - gave his broker a bill of sale - he would not wait 12 days to close this deal. I just wanted a clean sale.

Just so its out there - I've been practicing for 32 years next month - and I have never sued anyone personally. . . . I have never sued anyone except representing someone else. So the tale you're telling is because people are afraid - if you have a good contract in simple language you will...

yeah @mscard88 - it costs so much to do so - but I tolerated the expense. . . Maybe it helps someone - maybe not. Put me on ignore if it bothers you that much.

in addition to checking your driving record, go find out if there is a court record still. And GET the entire file. You are going to need to know what your BAC was - because if you cannot establish the time [over ten years] and amount [bac] of alcohol you will be treated as if you had more...

Maybe it sucks being a commercial litigator = I know what the legal ramifications are of doing what he wants to do -
