Very good advice. I also second Bill Finnegan. Took some dual with him in a Pitts years ago. Very useful instruction and even more fun! You won't regret it!

I have owned 3 airplanes. All 3 have had damage history. The 1st was a 1942 vintage advertised as "no damage history". Yeah, right:lol: The second was a '66 172 that had a wing replaced in the 1980's because a Stearman tried to eat it. It was one of the truest flying planes I have ever...

You will not be disappointed. Changed mine on my 182 last year. The Lord mounts are definitely worth their price.

+1.....26 years Large blow dryer will work also. Do you have a overhead service feeding your house? If it runs through trees the neutral conductor (bare shiny one) may have rubbed in two or a squirrel may have chewed rough it creating a load imbalance between phases, or an "open neutral"...

Can't be an Ercoupe. Not enough grass growing up around it:D

I'm not sure what you mean by "jolly green giant". He wasn't a big guy at all, kinda small. Early to mid '60s. But he always showed up at the airport proudly sporting a fresh zoomie bag with every kind of CAP badge, patch, or insignia he could get on it and a blue officer's visor cap along with...

That's what wives are for:D

That guy probably likes to do power on stalls and 60 degree turns with passengers on pleasure flights too..... Really endears people to pursue aviation. Reminds me of an "instructor" around here years ago. Wore his green C.A.P. zoomie-bag (flight suit) all the time. Victims would...

I had an "extra" David Clark 10-13.4 headset when my son started flying with me (1.5 years old). I called the David Clark company to ask what was specifically different about their youth model headset as I was considering purchasing one. They told me the only difference between the standard...

Google the "Ryan's Steakhouse Story" It's an oldie but goodie:rofl: I also love the Amos 'n Andy episode where Kingfish teaches Andy to fly:rofl::lol:

Do the wrinkles on the B-24 lessen the structural strength of the ship? Not opining just curious...always wondered about that.

Taylorcraft L-2M Watched a lady hang out her clothes on the line...... Then watched her bring them in....:wink2: I know, old joke:rolleyes: I have flown along over a 55mph highway (concrete compass) and stayed behind a yellow VW Beetle. The VW got out of sight. According to my...

Just for discussions sake...somewhat unrelated... Most B-24's had several wrinkles on 'em...

Congratulations!!:thumbsup:

Not O'hare but I know a gentleman that flew a 182 into Atlanta Hartsfield a few years ago to pick up his daughter. On the way in they put him in an infinite hold. When he did get sequenced the jet traffic was eating his lunch and the tower was constantly giving him the old "keep speed as much...

Thanks Reno:) You based at KEWN?

I know you said you weren't flying this time but for future reference I'll second what Hector said. KJZI is great. Fuel is a little pricier there but their service is awesome. They even have a concierge to help you secure lodging and they have agreements with several places that will save you a...

Thanks for all the replies.... I looked at the Skyguard website and like the price. Hopefully they can get the certification issues resolved. I don't fly outside the CONUS or above 18K so the 978 MHz option suits me fine. I was under the impression that the General Aviation...

I'm not the most avionics savvy guy but I have been trying to calculate how much the ADS-B mandate is going to cost me. Would appreciate some suggestions on the lesser expensive (aka cheap ) solutions for compliance. The overwhelming majority of my flying is VFR through Class C and B but I...

That's a good looking Cessna:thumbsup: I had a '66 172 that had Airtex interior when I bought it. It was very nice looking and was extremely easy to keep clean and extremely durable. I owned the plane almost 8 years and it looked as good when I sold it as when I bought it. I helped a friend...
