Hey out there....I acquired a 172L recently, and it is a delightful bird to fly, but has a couple of odd quirks that we've recently noticed and I'd love to see if anyone has thoughts on what may be causing the issue so we can estimate both the severity and possible repair costs. So here goes...

Thanks! Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk

Autopilot was an item they reportedly put some work into making functional, and they say all equipment works 100%. That said I have not verified the autopilot yet - just some laps around the pattern, maneuvers (couldn't resist testing the reported stall speeds for the STOL) and a bit of local...

Well she's finally here, for anyone who's curious. Attached are a few shots for those who may like to have a look. By way of impressions - it would appear that Wings Of Hope has some pretty darn good mechanics working for them. N19630 is a dream to fly - easily the smoothest and steadiest...

I don't know about any specific ratings or awards but it is truly fantastic. The German place (called Eckard's I believe) is good by all accounts (and a lot closer) but I've never been there myself. The only downside to Merroir is that it is suddenly a very small place in any weather in...

I don't know about the availability of a courtesy car at W75 (frankly I'd bet on no) but in addition to the restaurants right at the field, there's a place called Merroir about a half mile down the road directly across from the South end of the runway. It's basically a "tasting room" for a...

Haha. If I'm honest I thought briefly about it but it isn't the lottery. I don't have a bunch of money to be asked for. Rather, now I have a winged bucket to throw money into. As for photos, I'm not that gorgeous. If someone wants my photo that badly, good for them. Thanks all for the...

Thanks guys. I'm thrilled. Been light on frequency of lessons recently due to limited funds. This is a very welcome surprise indeed.

I did indeed. Most surreal phone call of my life. I was in the (large international) airport terminal picking up a friend when I got the call.

I can answer that. They call pretty quickly. Drawing was 1pm Missouri time I believe? My phone rang at an indicated 1:30pm Missouri time.

Another +1 for imgur. That's what they're designed for-easy sharing and linking of images. There's a reason the whole of reddit uses it. Mobile app is awkward for browsing but fine for uploading, links are readily available and the site is generally fast and responsive.

Pleasure to share. That's just the tip of the iceberg so to speak, but I wanted to put a few up. The rest will take some time to go through.

For anyone interested, we had a decent vantage point from the Virginia riverfront. https://www.flickr.com/photos/namistaisound/sets/72157652420931816
