Go for it great upgrade.

I can do it. I live just outside Boise.

You make it sound so simple I'll throw 30k at it to see if it sticks. But, I don't have time to do any work because I'm actively building my 500 hours. I could probably carve some time out to cash checks if I really had too. My only contingency is I get first shot at the 5 hot young single...

Ultima WATERLESS car wash instructions: Take a 1/2 ounce and mix with WATER in spray bottle lol.

16k is really high if it is just a strip and reshingle. I could sub that out to my roofer I have had do close to 20 homes and make 5k on that bid.

I have done 95% of my training at nontowered airports and I am still a little intimidated by the radios. I just completed a 400 mile roundtrip solo long x-country to a small towered class d airport and I contacted ground by saying: Podunk ground skyhawk n5535A at fbo ready to taxi to 03 with...

Depends on what your looking. There are expensive schools and also cfi's with cheap rental planes in the area.

Thats what I was wondering. I figured throwing the 100 bucks at the stratus would be a better way to go to get weather and adsb in at least.

So I am going to start the iPad foreflight journey. I already have a mini 2 no gps. So should I just buy a cheap external gps like the bad elf or go ahead and get a stratus 1s?

https://boise.craigslist.org/for/6058917889.html Not a horrible looking plane. the guy was to usedcarsalesmanly for me. So I wouldnt believe anything he said without verifying it yourself.

Yeah he was getting defensive and said he has sold 20 planes last year and knows what he is talking about. Think I'll pass this one LOL!

So I was looking at a nice 172 for sale and the guy is a self proclaimed expert on everything type. So we start talking ADSB and he said he just went to a training and was taught that the FAA is only going to enforce ADSB in Class B airspace. I disagreed and said I hadn't heard that and was...

Terrible planes with lots of issues you better pass and get the owner in contact with me so I can buy it. The only unique that can get a little spendy other than the usual engine, airframe corrosion, etc stuff is check the firewall lots of people land nose heavy and buckle it. Also the whole...

Nowhere did I say UNABLE to trim to 65 I can trim to whatever speed the aircraft is capable of. I grabbed full up trim in a simulate engine out and got about 70 knots on that day with that wind in 2 Seconds. how someone can disagree that that is not a useful thing to know and use is just being...

Yep I have tried this and it works great. As for the ahole who basically said I'm stupid, lazy, and have no flight skills because I tried something that gets me in the ballpark in a instant. If my engine goes out I want to focus on getting it restarted not trimming to within 2 knots of best...

Not sure but I'll have to test that also.

I heard somebody say you can trim all the way up and a plane will fly at best glide. So I went out and tried it in a 172 and it worked. Engine at idle and it glided right along at about 70knots. Neat trick to use for a engine out situation so you can concentrate on emergency checklist. Next...

That isn't going to end well....

I don't know Bryan or his Cirrus but we should both survive as long as he doesn't cut me off in the pattern cuz my Champ is too slow.

I agree with everything you said. I like your Seinfeld\Carlin hybrid comedy. You need your own grumpy middle aged man show. I am actually enjoying flying more without my Igidgets and learning to use my VOR's and dead reckoning.
