There's a great accelerated course righr there in garner that flys out of Johnston county.

My wife got me today. She never pulls jokes on me but got me today. We were swimming in pool and she said oh my gosh. You've got a big blotch of purple on back of your head. I'm trying to think what I might have got in and rubbing my head to see if whatever would come off. Then she laughed. A lot.

Has anyone heard if foreflight gave the go ahead yet for the newest Apple iOS download?

I have Cessna,s and one Piper. I've always hated th ground steering on the Piper. It's so sensitive I have to have to basically stand on the petals to keep it going straight. Just a hair lets it swerve. Wish I could make it more like the Cessna steering.

I've seen both ways. Usually pretty apparent which you have with few minutes of inspection. I would tend to be more interested as almost all of the ap,ia's I know take really good care of their planes and some even put the latest things on to show customers. I'd be very interested

I started a trucking company years ago and was told if I couldn't buy new I sure couldn't afford to buy old. It didn't take me many years or repairs to figure that out. Every time I upgraded trucks I improved my bottom line. I think you are better off to buy something a little nicer even if you...

I fly from Tampa thru New Orleans fairly often when I go that way. I file direct Tampa to west Texas. About half the time I get it and other half the moa,s are active in the gulf and they vector me way to the north. I do stay pretty high up which gives me pretty good gliding distance if necessary.

The deb is going to be much more fun to fly and much faster than most pipers. If you get a original low hp io470 you can burn auto gas. It's going to cost you same or less to fly per mile but your annuals and maintenance will be about double. That's not to say you will have to spend bunch of...

They always say to buy your last airplane first. My experience was starting out in slow planes. 172, Cherokee 140, Grumman traveler, tomahawk and 150. All but the first were years ago when I was in military. When I had time and money years later I bought a 172 and finished my pp. then of course...

Myself when I look for a plane I look first for avionics it has. I also want a two axis autopilot at least. That's 15 to 40g. Then I proceed to airframe and paint and interior. My least concern is usually the engine. If it's high time I want some consideration for hrs or years, but, I don't mind...

I'm guessing to rebuild a small lycoming or continental your going to have minimum of 25000 to 40000 in it. Now a 0-320 can be rebuilt for less. Maybe as low as 13000 without rebuilding the peripherals and labor to r&r. But most jobs are going to cost closer to the higher range. Also just...

Buy one with approved gps and auto pilot which should get you into a plane you can fly for years. Also nice to buy one already ads-b setup so you don't have to bite that bullet. Much cheaper to buy everything allready installed in plane. Will save you lot of money in long run.

If I was looking for the planes mostly mentioned I would probably go with the arrow. My reasoning is that you will probably find a arrow with better avionics, decent gps, decent radios. Also good chance it will have a autopilot. Being a retract and having no wheel pants would make it better for...

I mostly learned ifr flying with steam gauges but my cross country plane had a g1000. I was pretty familiar with g1000 so wasn't much to transition to it. I took test in a steam warrior with fsdo examiner. He asked why I took test with steam if my cross country plane was glass. He said far was...

Pretty sure I got my hp endorsement during pp training as I owned a commanche then. It wasn't a big deal but with learning to fly and going from a 172 it was slightly daunting with the other additional systems on the commanche. 172 seemed much easier after flying.

I think the high performance endorsement is a license to learn just like the rest. While it is very easy to manage a Cessna 182 or a Piper 235, it gets little more involved when you bring in turbos and bunch more speed and altitude. It's nice to get comfortable to it in stages. A real high...

I think it's a good endorsement no matter what your rating. In fact I think they should go further in depth. 201hp might be a low choice, but you don't have to get much more power to start getting in some pretty fast planes. Maybe they should have a endorsement for any plane that cruises over...

About the same as a 172 or Cherokee.

But what about doing a Mel and also instrument multi? Wouldn't that reset currency?

I think everybody gets frustrated like this at some point in training. For me I can study like crazy and not get a good grasp on it. However if someone reads it to me or presents it to me I can usually recite it back word for word and remember it. Watching it on a cd doesn't cut it for me...
