Congratulations! My first airplane was a Luscombe 8E too and I still have and fly it 46 years later. Great little airplane. Cessna liked them so much they bought two of them. Enjoy!

The December issue of Kitplanes Magazine has their annual listing of kits and plans built planes. It can be a good place to get an overview of what is available.

Congratulations both to your student and to you! If I were king, every student would start in gliders and master them before undertaking power plane training. And that's just one of my ideas. Fortunately for the world, I won't ever be king. Keep up the good work. Scott

Of course, you are correct and I meant no disagreement. What I should have said is: "While the plans set sold by Peter Bowers and later by Ron Wanttaja on behalf of his heirs is no longer available, see Ron's website at http://www.bowersflybaby.com/ for information on how EAA members can...

I serve as vice-president at Chapter 72, Meadow Lake (KFLY) and I was treasurer for a couple years and president for one. I believe our chapter does a lot to foster the aviation community at our local airport. We went through a significant loss in interest as well but I think we are making a...

That appears to be "Unfinished Business", the airplane featured in the June 2018 Sport Aviation. Fantastic one-off build. Sad to see it damaged.

Another option would be to trade propellers between the two aircraft and repeat the comparative flights.

Congratulations again. You will have a great time with that machine. Scott

Fair point, but I was more worried about Nate flying back and forth between KAPA and points south.

About 500 below my house: on the Palmer Divide.

There is nothing, nothing on God's green Earth that would convince me to try that. Not even the need to deliver the antidote serum for orphans stranded on a freak ice-flow . . . in a Disney movie. Nothing. At. All.

SkyHog, Come to the EAA Chapter 72 meeting at 6:30 p.m. at the MLAA Hangar at Meadow Lake this Thursday 11/16/17 and ask around. I'm sure you will get a number of current suggestions. I'll be there and if you ask for Scott, that guy with the Luscombe, somebody will head you in my direction. You...

.4 today; .9 yesterday. All in the Luscombe. Simply couldn't be better than that. Scott

Blasphemy? Yeah, you're right. I just got caught up in the shiny of it all. Scott

What a country! I really hope this works out. I might even put that on my Luscombe. Scott

You guys . . . when I think I'm getting close to my destination, I just trigger my ELT then call Flight Service for a DF steer, if they're within the range of my handheld COM. If not in range, then I'm still in the enroute phase and I figure the CAP guys will come out and find me and lead me to...

I don't believe the father-in-law's concerns have much to do with airplanes, single engine or other, private pilots or turbulence. I believe he is simply being a dad with a daughter. We parents would like to think that once we launch them in to adulthood we would be relieved of that fear first...

Dang. I shall be 5 nm west of Perfect Landing at the appointed hour. Family. I would post pictures of the grand daughters but that would just be bragging and I don't want to do that. I will raise a glass at 1730 to the east and wish I was able to be there. Have fun all and know that I look...
