Cardinals have the same effect and burn a lot less gas and oil ;):D

I live 10 miles from ICT. There was no fog....

I practice things like stalls, steep turns, and slow flight pretty regularly. I do them as much for fun as practice though.

Advertising might be the only way I would ever consider a tattoo. I might get one if I was paid enough $$$ to wear their brand. Of course its highly unlikely that anyone would pay my price so its a moot point. :D

I frequently "land long" at the home strip when landing to the north since the ramp and my hangar are at the far end. It gives me a shorter taxi and lets me get clear quicker. What I actually do is fly a normal approach and keep just a touch of power in so that I float along in ground effect...

I departed from midfield once. Of course that was at Salina with a 12,000 ft runway.

Maybe one of the lawyers here can answer this. Can you simply volunteer to go down to the station or hospital for a breathalyzer and keep it from being an arrest that way? "Officer I don't want to do the FST, why don't I just ride down to the station with you and we take the test then you can...

Its hard to beat the sound of a radial but I do love the lope of a Franklin 220.

Thanks for the replies guys. I was thinking about flying into a grass strip in the Cardinal and have been trying to decide if I would still be able to land and take off safely with a couple of inches on the ground. I'm thinking anything deeper than that will be a nogo.

How much snow do you need before you consider it too deep to take off and land without skis or just taxi around with out getting stuck? I know that the type of snow (wet or dry) will matter as will whether or not you are working from a paved strip or off of grass. I have no experience dealing...

No deer for me yet, but I had to go around once for a black lab.

I get to fly a friend's 108 on a regular basis and love it! I will say that I would definitely look for one with the 165 hp engine. My buddy's is metalized, 150 hp, and has a cruise prop so takeoff rolls tend to be long and climbs sloooow.

I've never flown a Diamond so I don't know, but do they have free castering nosewheels like the Grummans? That would explain why you felt it was much easier to taxi if so.

Just get a Cardinal :D

I wonder if the cruise altitude will be operator adjustable. I would try one as long as the props were shrouded. Looks like it would be fun.
