Sounds like a good spot for an impromptu float flyin in the near future :p:D

So that would be a water loop instead of a ground loop?

It pays to know people that own airplanes and have A&P relatives...:D

I spent about $3500 for my private in 2017. I had 50 hrs total (20.1 dual) and $400 for the DPE. Of course it helped that I could just borrow Dad's Cherokee instead of renting and just had to pay for gas, oil, CFI, and help out with the mx costs.

Have you asked around at your local airports? There's plenty of people that find CFIs or planes through word of mouth. I did. +1 on finding a CFI that is willing to train you in your own aircraft.

The type of grass matters as well. Bermuda is very draggy compared to fescue unless its cut pretty short.

That doesn't sound so bad, but of course what folks consider "too windy" can vary by where you live. What do you fly? As others have said that will be a factor in your decision whether or not to use the grass.

Yep

The point was that lower hours is not always better. Sometimes it is and sometimes it isn't.

I got .9 after work last night. Had to beat the winter weather that's hitting this morning.

:yeahthat: Low time on an older plane can mean it spent a lot of time sitting around being neglected. Our 65' Cherokee only flew about 30 hours in the 10 years before we owned it, everything worked but not always all that well. We have put 100+ hours a year on her since then and things simply...

Looks like they moved it about 200 feet. I'm wondering why they needed a truck with a crane instead of a tug unless the nosegear was damaged when he went into the snowbank.
