    Hey old people, tell us what you can't do!

    70 here, can still do the important things (have a 5 year old daughter:cool:). Can't push my Cessna into the hangar without mechanical assistance, can't saddle a horse without help. Had cataract surgery so excellent vision, but was told last week I need a shoulder replacement. Altogether, no...

    Liability Only Insurance

    I'm 70. have two planes insured, a 2007 Skyarrow SLSA, and a C175b. The LSA, factory built, carbon fibre insured for $70K hull cost me about $2300 annually. The Skylark, with O-360 CS and naming my wife as a student pilot is a little over $700 same hull amount. I don't get it, can't wrap my...

    Age 75+ Insurance

    I have 70K hull, mine is still SLSA. Perhaps I've underestimated the value. I too, have thousands of hours over decades, never filed a claim. Insurance is going to go up as my wife will be learning to fly in it. Perhaps I should have taken up raising chickens, Oh, wait..........

    I'm paying over 2K for my Skyarrow, up for renewal in Feb. I'll be 70 in March. Been flying my Skylark naked since the pandemic. Who are you insured with?

    Suspenders, keeps everything where it belongs without strangulation. Added benefit is you can continue wearing your winter sidearm all year. You're welcome.

    LSA reality check

    I have the solution to your problem, get two planes. I have a Skyarrow S-LSA for fun, and a C175b for going places, and camping. Airplane poor in El Paso.

    Fear of paperwork

    Declared climbing out of El Paso a few years back, cockpit filled with smoke. Got things situated a bit and made a good landing. Got a phone call a few weeks later from a very nice FAA representative, a few questions and all was over. Never filled out any paper work, did change my drawers.

    Do you believe in UFO's?

    And not one person has considered the possibility that these objects are indigenous to earth. Amazing.

    Cessna 172 Windshield change

    I replaced the windshield in my C175 using the method outlined in the video above. This was an LP aero extra thick. Temps in my hangar were around 118 degrees at the time, and though a bit difficult, results were very good. This was eleven years ago, and there have been no issues. I recently...

    What's your go-to Concealed Carry weapon?

    Going to make a rare post. After 21 years in the army, followed by 20 years a federal officer, now retired, I carry a Colt 1911 in .45 ACP during the winter, and a S&W mod 36 during summer months. After training countless officers over the years, my opinion is they all work, if deployed...

    Thinking about a dual sport/adventure Motorcycle

    KTM 690 Enduro R. WELL UNDER 400 LBS, 75 HP, traction control and ABS for street mode, yet truly "ready to race" in the dirt. All these yahoo's talking about DR's and TW's probably fly weedhoppers too. KTM's rule, been riding them for many years, maintenance no different than any other bike...
