Does anyone have any experience supporting the SA-211. I'd love to hear comments on what it is like to run and maintain. Tks, Bill

For me, its kinda like why not? It is a skill that very likely will save your bacon one day, is fun to acquire and has no down side that I can think of.

Thanks EE!

Absolutely fly the panel. Fix the problem the correct way. Do not get into the situation in the first place. and on and on and on When you do find yourself in the soup and completely out of control, you MAY want to consider reaching up and pulling power then gently add up elevator until you...

Remember folks, my comment started from in IMC and screwed........... In short, you're already dead and I'm suggesting a way to get un-dead. I'm not suggesting you get yourself in the dead position in the first place. As for stick back, never tried it but I will tomorrow :)

Notice the suggestion came after one finds themselves completely out of control. What's your suggestion?; rip the tail or wings off or simply auger in and make a big hole? Come on folks, I'm not suggesting you get in this situation for fun. I'm only suggesting you keep trying to solve it...

One thing that a lot of people do not seem to understand is that spinning is the absolute lowest form of energy for a plane still in the air (not counting hammerheads of course). If you ever get completely wadded up in IMC, the stall spin allows you to descend without hitting anything provided...

AcroBoy, I know. I've de-weeded a couple of Extras I bought with all that IFR stuff in them :) There is something odd about wanting to get all that extra weight to turn a corner.

F16s are cheaper

Thumped again this coming weekend........

I would think adrenaline and IFR are not the best combination :) Plus the adrenaline comes from flying toys where I'm looking outside. I just figure if I have to sit in something for 40 hours I might as well try to make it something enjoyable. Nope, no tail wheel needed for the CFII as I'm...

nor do you have to deal with even flying this time of year :)

I was just hoping not to have to fly a POS :) I guess I'm spoiled.

Yep, filed a local VFR out of F45, flew just north of Indian Town, maneuvered for twenty and returned to F45. All with zero drama. I do feel for the flight schools. Training goes on as usual but the casual renters are all but completely gone. I also feel for that guy from Daytona that got a...

Well, I've put it off as long as I can. It is time to do my C and Instrument tickets. I do not currently have an IFR platform for training. What tends to be the most fun for instrument training?

Mid-wings are fun and have an unnecessary bad rap.

Word has it Trump will be in WPB almost every weekend for the next few months. I flew Saturday and Sunday last weekend without issue (out of F45).

Apparently Trump has made it easier for Part 91 to operate within the inner ring (thank you btw) so stuff like this is a little more likely to happen.

Likely based on the metallurgical qualities of the hot section....

The motors are 500, 750 or 1K TBO depending where they are in their life cycle. That said, they are run on condition in the US so places like Code 1 have established trend monitoring to check the health of the core and fuel control. I've heard horror stories about engine availability and...
