Yup! Damn you know your airports!

Hey CT! Long time no see. I finally picked up a plane! You'll see me in the "Green Hornet"

Yeah, you might wanna go to Tucson. All the action is up in Phoenix, you don't wanna be inconvenienced with so many things to do.:D

True, I didn't really complain too much. Just thought something like the mags should have been checked far more often. I'm getting quite a break on labor since I know the mechanic. I will say I'm still partial to fuel injection. I believe this is a easy issue to chase down. I predict about a...

Yeah, those mags are a killer. Fuel hoses in good shape. Hopefully the next annual yields favorable results.

$4,000 total. but we're still trying to chase down 50 more RPM. Going to get the fuel delivery system bench tested and adjusted. (I can't recall the technical term but he thinks the fuel is too rich at full throttle)

Yeah, I've spent just a short time over there and everything seemed in good order. Everyone was nice. So about the area, there is quite a bit of flight training going on. In addition to students from your airport you've got students from Glendale airport which is right next door. There is also a...

Anyone in the Phoenix area heading to this in October? Sounds like fun. I'll be taking off with my wife from KGEU or KGYR at 8:30 A.M. on Saturday morning (OCT 1st). Cessna 172. https://www.aopa.org/community/events/aopa-fly-ins/2016-aopa-fly-ins/prescott

Hey Pilawt, Welcome to AZ. Great pictures!! January will be a perfect time to arrive. Good job on getting the Hangar at KGYR. I just got on the waiting list last week, I'm currently in 8th. For now I'm paying an exorbitant hangar rental at Glendale airport until my spot opens up at Goodyear...

Made a deal with the owner of a plane that I've flown in a club for the past 2 years. 2000 Cessna 172. Basically, I'm splitting the annual and repairs that go along with it. The annual was conducted by my mechanic and also doubled as a pre-buy inspection. We were not impressed with the results...

Yeah, It's the SR20 without the A/C but I have a portable A/C cooler in the back. I'm used to the heat anyhow, we have the same high temps over here in Scottsdale as well. At least in October it should be a bit cooler. Oh how I love the CHT readouts on the Cirrus glass panel! Big Bear is out...

Thanks for the info. I don't think I'll stop anywhere else besides PSP since I'm only going specifically for the Aviation Expo. http://aviation-xpo.com/premier-event/ I'll probably stay at the Morongo Casino.

Huh? You lost me... The primary reason for the trip is the Aviation expo. Hoping to find someone who has been before to obtain some insight. Also hoping to find some passengers interested in going. Operation costs are sky high...

Thinking about taking a SR20 from Scottsdale AZ to the Aviation expo in Palm Springs Oct 16-17. I've never been, anyone have any insight on if it's worth the trip? IF I can find some passengers, I'm likely to go... :wink2:

Hey Guys, heading to Palm Springs for the first time next month. Any words of advice / insight regarding the airport / airspace over there in Cali?

Hmm. I wouldn't mind looking into that if at all possible. What's the hourly cost? What's the cruise speed?

I really wish I could find someone out here that would rent out their Cessna 210 to be honest. I do a lot of Laughlin and Vegas runs and that darn twin is a gas guzzler! But that's the only thing I can get my hands on that seats 6.

Precisely. Yeah, they told me about the mph / kts deal. I'll be training with Tyler. I'm pretty excited. Actually about as much as flying for the first time.

:yesnod: how'd ya know? nevermind...process of elimination.
