Yes it is mine. They aren't as expensive as you think. Very reasonable to fly. It's n9102h and you can see my speeds at flight aware. I burn 13.5 gals at those speeds. I flight plan for 15 with my long climbs. Burns 23 gal for about 30 to 45 minutes but I make some of it up during descents at...

My profile pic is a pa46. Malibu. I think they changed during the n model to 24 volt as we have a 80 n model with 12 and a 81 with 24. I might be a year off those as I don't have the logs in front of me.

Found it. It is a artic air rac100 or Rac 200. About 4500$. 12 volt is 42lbs and bigger 24 volt is 50lbs. Brochure says the 12 volt will turn air in 4 place airplane in 60seconds and 24 volt in 30 seconds.

Matthew. That's not the one I was thinking of, however if I upgrade to s model 172s I might put that in couple. The Kelly is permenent install, but, sweet. Over 10g though. I've got couple brochures around I will try to find. Ones I am talking about are about size of medium cooler. Saw them at...

There is a self contained unit available you can put on baggage compartment. Run battery cables to it and it runs off your battery. They make 12 and 24 volt units with the 24 volt working better and costing less. Can run anytime engine is running to charge your battery. Think it's around 60 lbs...

Really the only way I think is to buy a plane set up close to what you want with avionics. They are spendy!

By Detroit I'm talking of the 60 series engines. I've had bunch of them with little trouble. The cat engines were to expensive to keep together although they will beat the mileage of a big cam Cummings. I had detroits with over a million miles I didn't do much more than change oil. My first...

Well after spending a hour trying to figure how to post pics of the v12 truck and getting ticked off I give up. Never tried to post pics before and apparently I'm to old to figure it out.

Landing speeds aren't all that different. I fly a Malibu quite a bit and my problem has always been to much speed on landing. I usually fly a instrument approach just to keep my speed down. If it's heavy or hot or some windshear I might land little faster. Flying the 205 to landing is basically...

I had a peterbilt 378 model with a unicab single sleeper. Lot of room in cab and basically open front to back. Had a 430 Detroit with a 15 speed. It had a pusher axle, so was a 4 axle tractor. I bob tailed it to Virginia to pick up a rgn trailer and got 14 mpg on the trip down. On trip back with...

Yu can buy a freightliner for cheap or pay little more and get class...Peterbilt or kenworth. Older conventional

I bought a commanche while training for my private. It wasn't all that much harder to fly than my 172. Although after flying it my 172 sure got lot easier to fly!

Maybe 125kts. Seemed kind of crazy. It is a big fuselage, but Sierra has 200hp! I could maybe get 140 if I was pointing straight at ground. Great plane and I think good looking. For me the control yoke is placed little high so seemed little uncomfortable or awkward. Flew very nice. Owned about...

But if it was plated as a rv the weight doesn't come into play. I've seen cab over with truck campers mounted behind cab also. I bought my first cab over diesel semi 44 years ago. Things were much different then. I've owned close to 50 trucks since then. When I used my trucks to pull campers and...

Granted I don't fly a archer but I do fly a Piper. Having flown a Sierra which is just a sundowner with retractable gear I can say they are quiet inside. Love the electric blower fan for breeze in cabin on ground. And you can wear a hoss hat if you want! Lots of room. But.... Slow. Did I say...

I think you might even be able to get rv plate. I've seen old conventional trucks with a pickup camper mounted behind cab. That oughta work.

My wife bought a 172 last year. She went to the bank and asked for 65000$. They told her they would have to order it and could have it the next week. She worked out a wire transfer with seller

Yes. I used to tow car trailers and my fifth wheel camper with a 2003 kenworth t2000

Yes he and most of those people were alive on the 30s. He said interest doesn't amount to much these days Anyway. He had a large portfolio so his cash wasn't a big part of it. He carried lots of cash also as long as I knew him. Don't think I ever saw him use a credit card although, I'm sure he...

In Nebraska farmers can drive a semi without a cdl so maybe you can fit in that on your acreage. I used to have a kenworth conventional I built. Had a Detroit v12 with of course twin blowers but also twin turbos. I had the biggest injectors in that I could buy from Detroit. I had few other mods...
