Prist, but you do have to rub it a little harder. It will streak at at first, when you put a little extra elbow grease into it, it comes out SUPER clear and nice.

Correct, I wanted to upgrade to the 4-point and was advised it was impossible with the canopy.

Congrats, that is way cool! I want to do that, too, but there is no tailwheel a/c at my local school. Guess I'd have to fly somewhere else to learn it. Happy landings!

I was very relieved to have my Tiger in her new (to me!) hangar at KSUT (Cape Fear Regional) today.. we were right in the path of Arthur,which is still blowing hard as I write this!

Mine took 2 hours

Thanks, everyone, I found an excellent deal on eBay, so I'm all set.

Looking for a decent comm-only backup radio for in-plane and ground use. Doesn't have to be fancy. Thanks, Allison

If you get flight following, getting thru the MOAs is a non-event. Only once was I sent around a corner of an active MOA, and it was no biggie, either. FF knows which ones are in play, and depending on your altitude, as well, you may fly over or under any areas that are enroute. Have fun with...

Super nice job of editing and music choice! Congrats!

Good for him, I wish him all kinds of fair skies and good luck.

My amazing hubby had this flight jacket made for me with our plane's pinup logo hand-painted on the back. So cool!

Thank you all for your links and suggestions!

Hubby and I are contemplating moving from Hollywood FL to a nice place where we can live with our plane. We'd consider FL, GA, SC, NC, etc.... Anyone know of affordable options? Grass runway OK, paved preferred. Love to hear from those of you who have made the jump... and any pros and cons...

Please don't give up. I learned to fly this past year at age 58, and it wasn't all smooth sailing. I got very stuck at the landing phase, and it took a while for me to finally "get the picture." Fortunately, the Cessna 172 I was flying was a tough old bird and survived the times I hit the nose...

Welcome to the ranks of Baby Dads! I'm sure you'll enjoy the freedom of having your own bird, we certainly do!

I took my Private with George in August... he was funny, relaxed and very fair. Doesn't try to trip you up with trick questions, wants you to succeed. He's a fixture around KHWO, my home base, as well as several other airports in the area. If I had it to do over again, I'd hope to get George.

As I understand it, a regular overhauled engine is 29. I paid 35 for a zero-hour 360-AK4 engine for my AA5B.

A very satisfying year for me... started PPL training in January, passed my written with a 95, bought my gorgeous Tiger in NY state and flew her home with a CFI in July, passed my checkride in August. Now enjoying my bird and waiting for my hubby to finish his training so we can have a true...

I agree. It takes a strong person to admit to what what may have appeared as cowardice. Though in the end, it was a very human reaction. One of the beauties of writing is the ability to at least partially exorcise one's personal demons. I think just telling that story must have helped him come...

Guess it's a matter of taste, but I found "Fate is the Hunter" to be utterly sublime. OK, you can laugh... but as a ex-professional writer myself (retired now) I do recognize superior prose when I read it...and Ernie was a frickin' master. How's THAT for a highfalutin' review?
