the incandescents are <$1. My plane has 5 of them. I'n not spending $150 on nav lights that I haven't touched in years anyway.

You can't put any stock in anything CASA says or does. These are the same people who mandate that all bonanzas have their control cables replaced on a schedule because a couple of coastal planes were found with corrosion. This has caused many maintenance-induced failures and improper...

Too little weight and way too many $$ Get a used lawnmower for $50 preferably hystat. Add weight.

No time for that, you need to head back to get the bags that you had to leave behind

starting at 40 is no problem, go ahead and get to it. Way too many people put it off until their whole life is passed by.

I guess an ovation might be ok except that it's a mooney

far too broad of a statement

I like that run...but...the bicycles all have fenders for a reason. No fenders on my running shoes. Bring another pair of shoes for dinner and the flight home.

it's hardly the same plane. cabin-size-wise the 337 compares with the twin comanche. It's not the same class of aluminum tube as the B58/aztec/310. Compare the 337 to the twinky and it's a thirsty pig, needing bigger engines to go the same speed. Ditto for the turbo 337 vs turbo twinky

In fact, I would recommend against it. Nothing cramps a weekend like having to lug a suit jacket and tie with you.

we like the island. Go for a bike ride, visit some fudge shops. The kids like it.

12k won't get you much of a paint job at an airplane shop. Prepare for upcharges and change orders, or a half-arse job.

I would hope that's always the case. Any plane that lets you both fill the seats and fill the tanks, is a poor design. It needs more tanks or more seats.

our tug when we were down south was a JD4020

ted, the best lawnmower I've ever used was my uncle's farmall B with an 8ft belly mower. Compact in length and comfortable. However, like all belly-mower tractors with no 3-pt, it was good for only 1 thing: mowing

I'd guess it's the other way around. Yanmar builds small machines in lots of colors. Most of the john deere diesels <50hp are yanmar tractors painted green Mine is a bit of a problem, it was actually made by yanmar for the US market but they sold very few of them. OTOH there were tons of...

i doubt it. the yanmar is little but it still weighs ~1100 LBs

Ted, we also have a yard that would be mowed much faster with a zero-turn. ~2.5 acres with ~25 large oak trees and my blueberry bushes. The reason I've kep a "tractor" (as my wife calls it, really just a slightly-overgrown lawnmower) is that it's so much better for pushing snow and I don't want...

Enough to say that a pressurized 4-seater with finicky engines and problematic systems might not be the right answer for someone shopping cherokee-6's to carry 6 people and bags

what precisely do you want to do with someone else's property? And why is it any of your concern?
