My wife likes the throw over yoke. Right now I have the dual to get a couple of ratings. When she flies she asks when I will switch back. It does open up more room.

If you need a bigger baggage door, but not the barn doors, take a look at a late model 33/35.

Cold air = turbo boost!

One thing I noticed about several A&Ps I've worked with in the past is not asking for money. Skilled worker time (white or blue collar) is worth paying for. Otherwise the customer would just do it themselves. (Regs or not.) I'm just a small business owner and I watch some of the same things...

For the mission defined: sit in each and make a decision. Do watch the year on the 35as there are essentially three different “generations” of the v tail. The early ones (like mine) are a little harder to find parts for. The H35 and later are essentially modern airplanes but the S35 and later...

Being a pilot: im down to my last dollar...

Stick to your guns. The guy that owned the A35 before I did has some really nice PROFESSIONAL A2A photos done at Oshkosh one year. (The year he won an award for the A35.) Let's just say that I've seen a lot of hack jobs with nice cameras. Then there is the photo shoot they did. Those pics of...

Yea - C150 pilot flying a 70 year old BE35 with an electric prop. That's "hold my beer" talk. With 200 hours in a 1948 BE35, I still got a couple of hours from the previous owner before soloing the 1949 BE35. Layout was a little different. Not much, but enough that the time was well spent. I'm...

I figure I can swap out the lights in the wings with...hmmm....M203 w/o the M16...shrapnel rounds...close counts.

It was definitely a black quadcopter and I think the blades were red. I was indicating about 150 MPH at 7500’. Not sure were that trues out at. (I don’t have the temp.) The encounter didn’t last long. 13 inches square?? I was within a few hundred feet of that sucker. Hoping my wake turbulence...

I have family with one of the nicer drones. It is amazing tech. It auto stops at some altitude (500’ or so) and has a few other safeguards. We talked about the drone being used in the back yard. When I pulled up foreflight on my phone , the little blue plane was flashing INSIDE a class D...

Shiny ones! There is that mission thing. A faster “new one” would just cause me to use it for business travel. Kinda afraid of turning another passion into work. It takes all the fun out of it. (But still considering it.) Get whatever makes you smile. I realized that one day I bumped into an...

I don't disagree. But "overpriced" is a bit in the eye of the beholder. $40K for a C152 with a modest panel would be overpriced to me. BUT if you are looking for a C152 with a modest panel, you have to decide whether you want the C152 more than the $40K. If not, move on. Life is too short to try...

Hmm - your not making a lot of sense in some cases. I guess: it depends. The A35 I have now was on the market for well over a year (maybe longer). The ad was not great and had some bad items in it (engine time was inflated, etc.) I'm sure a lot of people looked at it and immediately clicked on...

I actually though about it - but about 10 miles after the event. Hopefully I won't see another one - but next time I won't hesitate. Thinking about it this morning, I would have hated to be on an instrument flight plan and assigned 7000' in the same area at the same time. I could very well have...

Well, my trip into class "B" was the non event everyone talked about. It's leaving class "B" that caught my attention. Question: is there a place where the FAA would like to see comments about drone encounters? Since I know a number of you are in the DFW area, here are the particulars (from...

Once you go polished bonanza, you.... You..... Well, it’s crazy, but really cool! (True insanity is polished beech 18. So, maybe someday...)

FAKE NEWS!!!!

So just how long are you supposed to nuke this turkey.....
