Was thinking about heading that way myself

There were some nice airplanes at show. I was impressed how quiet some were. There were several at Sebring I wouldn't mind in my hanger. One plane I was particularly impressed with that was there, even though it wasn't a Lsa was the tecnam 2006t. That is a sweet little twin. Almost had my wife...

Went to Sebring today. Seemed like almost nobody there! Guessing less than 1000 people and that might be way over stretching it. Show was nice though. Very foggy until maybe 10.

I've had a 2002 Chevy duramax since new. Still only have 90000 miles on it. Snowplow people told me they didn't really want to put plow on it as it supposedly had to light of frontend. Had a plow on the older 98 style and worked pretty good. So I bought bunch of fords. They worked good. Glad I...

Whichever one is closer to where you need to be. X39 may be little friendlier?

I had a 2007 with the 5.9. A cousin still owns it. That thing got crazy good fuel mileage. I drove a 2000 ford 7.3 back to Nebraska thru Colorado mountains and wife drove 07 dodge 5.9 following. The ford averaged little over 16mpg on way back and the dodge averaged between 24 and 25mpg. So...

I've owned both. The 06 will be much better on fuel. Owned about 10 trucks at same time for a business I owned. Bought the 07 sight unseen as I wanted exhaust brake. Hated it and sold it within the month and went back to 5.9. No way would I buy 07 or 08 6.7

I'm going to Sebring next week and will be at sun n fun.

Daryl was one of the past owners of epic, so if anyone would know the plane shoulda been him. A very nice knowledgeable guy. Unfortunately, mistakes happen.

Buy both. You have your backup then

Funny how when I had a plane that held 38 gals I was okay with 6 or 8 gals left but holding 140 I get nervous at 25 gal left.

Couple weeks ago I had between 265 and 285kt gs on 1100 mile trip to Florida. Controllers were calling me a meridian.

Ted. Not exactly sure about not needing a cdl to get it home. I was in trucking for 30 years but not much for last 8 years. You will be fine in Minnesota as I don't think you will probably go thru a scale. Iowa is whole different game. I would recommend you actually call a scale first and ask...

Pretty sure I know this guy. I think he was one of the owners of epic for awhile till the Russians bought it. If anyone knew Darrell I'm pretty sure this was him.

I file most flights but occasionally for some reason they can't find it. I have had them send me to fss or take it theirselves. Only had one time they actually told me they didn't have time. Seems like more I file and fly the less they seem to want. Occasionally I will divert to my alternate and...

I would say a checklist would help. Ive heard it said that one of easiest ways to forget is to have something, passenger or arc interupt your flow when going thru your landing procedure. I usually have passengers so have gotten in habit of announcing flaps and gear down and such. The noises...

For me, the kind of sims you have at home on computer don't work well. I don't get much if anything out of them. However a full motion sim, such as at flight safety is whole different animal.

Y'all have way to much time.

Lot of people feel that maybe this flying thing might be too difficult to learn. Something that you just can't get around of. It passes. You just keep working on it. There is no rule of how many hours to solo or finish up your pp. Everyone is different. I had a tough time with landings and...

I know where there is a nice arrow for sale.
