I know both places. I had my airplane at 44N for almost 10 years.

Shepherd, do you keep your airplane at 44N?

Indeed. I am slightly curious about the preference for a sale in Northern California. I've got mine up for sale and, as long as I get paid in good funds, they can load the bird into a container and ship `er to Far West Goofystan.

Lot of that going around....

I know I should be trying to persuade you otherwise, since my airplane is for sale, but if what you want is an airplane that is classic on the outside and modern on the inside, then you should try to find one. It'll be cheaper than buying a beater or basket case and doing it yourself. <Donning...

If you're going to fly IFR, that would be nice if you need to do the "fly to alternate and hold for 45 minutes" bit. The previous owner of mine flew it IFR (I've not kept up the cert). I have a dim memory of there once being a STC to add a 15-gallon tank to the baggage compartment of the...

I've landed in some crosswinds that I probably shouldn't have, with no drama.

It all depends, I guess. I've got an oldish Security Six that, with .357 158gr hollowpoints, will probably be enough gun for anything around here. When I fly over the Mark Twain National Forest, I like to go up fairly high so I have options as to where to land and so I'm not annoying the...

If your iPad craps the bed, then there you are, navigating with expired charts. I really don't think that's a good idea. Sent from my FBI-approved monitoring device using Tapatalk

I can't wait for Flib Field to show up on the KC Sectional. "Flib Field, home base of Fakawi Airways."

Forgot to add: GEM 602 engine monitor. (After four moves, I still have the manual for it.) Sent from my FBI-approved monitoring device using Tapatalk

The cabin noise is about 110dB according to my phone's meter app. Maybe 100lbs difference. A long time ago, a guy who had flown a -2 for 30 years told me that there was a window on the fabric ones where having only two people in the airplane could put it outside of the W&B envelope. He said...

There are eight of them still on the FAA's registry.

Here is a writeup about the 108 series from 25 years ago.

My apologies, I somehow completely overlooked that I should have posed this thread here.

40 gallons, 36 usable. 3.5 hours with with VFR reserves. No-wind cruise is 118mph. Been a very long time since I had to do a W&B and that info isn't close to hand. But I had 500lbs of passengers and me (I prolly was 190lbs with clothes then [I'm tall and not a beanpole]), full tanks and was...

For a tailwheel airplane, they're very forgiving. I forgot to mention that it has shoulder harnesses for the front seats, and rudderpedals with brakes for the right seat. I've seen a few that didn't have brakes on the right side. Sent from my FBI-approved monitoring device using Tapatalk

Ryan, I need to call it a day, for now. I have to move to a place where it's just not practical (or cheap) to keep an airplane. I would wind up having it at a place that would be an hour or more away to drive, which means even a short "tool round and warm up the oil" flight would be a half-day...

I'm offering my 1947 Stinson 108-2 for sale. It's about 98% metallized. TTAF 4,061, SMOH 771 on a heavy-case 165 hp Franklin with an oil filter. I'll toss in a portable 2-place intercom, a set of anchors for tying down (good if you're overnighting at a fly-in [did that at Sun `n Fun a couple of...

Here, I didn't select it.
