A Grumman tiger would be 4 seats. A Yankee would be 2 seats. I learned to fly in those pa28s when they were new. I’d pass. Upgrade on Avionics will cost you as much as the plane. I’m thinking the aren’t easy to sell. Might be lots of planes coming up for sale with people being out of work. I’ve...

Get as many rides in different airplanes and decide then. Some of the ones other people love I’m not as fond of. Love em all though. For your budget you can get something really nice.

I bought a 210f and really like it. Don’t need much runway to takeoff or land and with ram engine stc climbs about 2000ft p min

I use my driveway occasionally to land and bring plane home to clean and work on. Never any problems. Checked in to making a dedicated strip beside drive. Was thinking around 2000 ft. Found out I had to get permission from planning and zoning board and jump thru bunch of hoops. Decided driveway...

I’ve owned a lot of the planes talked about here. Of them all the Aa1-c with 150hp stc was the only one I really didn’t care for. It did have some good traits though. Commanche was a good plane overall. Pretty fast and flew nice. Not super expensive to insure or maintain. Beech Sierra was really...

I use my driveway to land and I’m right next to a winery. Most of my neighbors just wave and occasionally people take pictures

Have a 2013 Volt we bought new. 51000 miles and 83 gal of gas used so far. My wife gos to town at least once every day. We can recharge and do it again later. Also the miles of charge don’t go down same as miles driven. Drove to airport other day 16 miles and charge went down 9 miles. In...

Have done it 5 times. Worked out for me. Again if your not comfortable......

I was there. Hardly any planes anywhere. Not many people either. Rained very hard. Seminars were empty.

I had a 172 that I burned Mogas in. Was cheap flying. Have a 172m I’m planning on getting Mogas stc for in next few months. As far as sumping gos, several years ago my wife asked the fbo where the tank was to put sumped gas in on the ramp. They told her to just throw it on the tarmac. She said...

Used to have a tower lady who made lots of mistakes. She would tell you the wrong thing occasionallly. I would just read back what I knew was the right thing and she would reply with a thank you. She made other mistakes also but now is one of the best we have. Can imagine training for them is...

Pretty sure aspen flying club is still there

Well if it isn’t till your next party maybe I could load the dozer and excavator on kenworth. Just don’t have the party during sun n fun because I allways go and have several guests staying then.

Best quote was from small town lumber yard by Lincoln. I have two Morton buildings and another pole building I built from 84 lumber. The one I built myself is holding up better so far. however the oldest motor building is 41 years old now. Any new ones will be steel. We have lot of wind here...

To bad you aren’t little closer and I wasn’t so busy with harvest. I have a dozer, excavator and skidloader with chipper head. Personally if I was pushing the trees I would prefer you didn’t cut them at all. Just makes more work for me. When I bid a tree job I usually bid 100$ per tree for...

Go steel. Morton is way to expensive. I’m looking for a building to go at my house here. Looking at a 60x120 and was getting bids erected for around 65000. I want a 50 by 18 single fold which is around 10g. My combines need 16 plus to clear door. Going to use my driveway for runway and park a...

I’ve been to strips that only had one way in and out. Doesn’t matter what the wind is there. Have also flown into towered field with active runway having pretty stiff tailwind. Have even questioned tower and they still have had me land with tailwind. Not really big deal with a mile to get er stopped.

Flew test flight in da62 during sun n fun this year. Got hour and half maybe. The sales people were day and night difference from last year. Plane was very nice. If it was pressurized I would probably buy one. As I rememeber fuel burn was really low. Flew very good on one engine. Fadec Control...

Had contamination once. About 15 min later started having cylinders shutting off. Few minutes later whole thing got quiet. After uneventful engine out landing and some investigating found that fine sand had plugged my injectors.

Don't remember how much we had but now seems at least 30% of flights I do result in at least some imc.
