    Piper Comanche 250 vs Mooney M20F which one is better?

    I don't know if their special or not, but the factory supports all the past M20s except the the first M20 and the M20A. Basically the wood ones. Some parts are stocked and some are special ordered. The year before last I got a brand new aileron from the factory for my 1966 M20F. It was made to...

    Piper Comanche 250 vs Mooney M20F which one is better?

    Mooneys don't. Don't know about Comanches, but I haven't heard of any for them.

    Tail wheel

    And revolutionize GA it did. The military wised up to trikes long before. It makes sense that GA would catch up eventually. The "conventional", or "tail dragger" configuration has advantages in certain applications and this makes it a niche design these days, but for the vast majority of flying...

    [N/A] Tesla turns a $312 mil profit in Q3

    Agreed. However, I will say that once you get hooked and really want an EV, they do inspire people to spend more than they otherwise would have. I think the Model 3 particularly has this effect. People just desire it and really want to join the Tesla club, so they will stretch their finances, or...

    [N/A] Tesla turns a $312 mil profit in Q3

    It's not. If you only want to, or can own one vehicle, the PHEV is a very good choice. Another option is to buy the BEV and then rent a car for the long trips. Electric cars aren't for everybody yet. You have to want one for whatever reason. It's still not about saving money. Kind of like buying...

    [N/A] Tesla turns a $312 mil profit in Q3

    There you go again, all focused on the once in awhile 400 mile trip to Grandma's or something. I think you have it all wrong. The primary car should be the one you drive every day. The one you drive less than 150 miles daily 90% of the year. That's the car that needs to be EV. The secondary car...

    [N/A] Tesla turns a $312 mil profit in Q3

    None of those things applies to me. I have no problem with people burning fossil fuels. I own an airplane, a boat, two jet skis, a roadster, a motorcycle just for fun and a full size van to haul all this stuff and go camping in. My carbon footprint is still Sasquatch sized! :D I didn't buy my...

    [N/A] Tesla turns a $312 mil profit in Q3

    Here we go again with the usual "winner" vs. "loser" attitude of the Tesla fan. The stated goal of Tesla is to get people to transition to electric from fossil fuel. The Tesla "mission statement" doesn't say, only rich people will drive electric. It doesn't say everyone will only drive Teslas...

    [N/A] Tesla turns a $312 mil profit in Q3

    @flyingcheesehead and @deonb, give it up. You're trying to sell electric cars to Blackberry folks. Hell some of them are flip phone guys. Just try to remember these earlier Tesla threads and then in 5-10 years from now, read about all these guys posting about the awesome new electric car they...

    [N/A] Tesla turns a $312 mil profit in Q3

    It kind of does, but it shouldn't. Electric cars really are cool and even the folks in the fly over states would love them if they gave them a chance.

    [N/A] Tesla turns a $312 mil profit in Q3

    Whoa there fan boy! I wouldn't say nobody. I bought a Chevy Bolt and I would again without hesitation. I know this all might sound like insanity to you, but Tesla has yet to build a vehicle I can actually afford, or stomach the price. In addition, the Model 3 is a sedan and I have zero use for a...

    MegaMillions winner.. what do you buy?

    I got $4 too. It feels just like aviation. I spent $10 to get $4.

    MegaMillions winner.. what do you buy?

    My wife and I would like to buy property somewhere in the Caribbean, so we need to do some exploring and learning on all the islands. So step one is to get one of these and become proficient in it- My wife says it looks funny, but I think it would be perfect for the two of us down there. I...

    C150 "Deregistered" log book entry...anyone familiar? Aircraft value?

    For about $90 or so there are services that will get all known papers on the plane that is filed with the FAA including all 337s that have been filed. Also all title transfers and accident reports. Could be a good read.

    I got reported to the FAA (not a ******* Satire)

    I set most of my Facebook posts to only my invisible friends. o_O

    Trump screwing up the airspace

    Everything is unreal right now. The world is in transition and a little unhinged. Time to be concerned about what to do personally.

    The point is, they shouldn't have to!! We need not be run over by our over zealous government!
