    Daydreaming....

    @Ryanb Good question.

    Daydreaming....

    Pretty much what I did in 9th grade, 10th grade, 11th grade, 12th grade, college, graduate school, work and the rest of the time. Now I do it in church, funerals, weddings, while mowing the lawn and most of the other time.

    Long XC in Cessna 150?

    It will be a great way to grow as a pilot. Weather, fuel, place to stay, food, bathroom, navigation and patience are all factored in. Pressing to make a schedule could cost you your life. Keep that in mind. And the things you will see. Priceless. Some windmills poking their heads through...

    Do you chase toilet paper?

    Do you chase toilet paper?

    For those of you that are thinking about chasing toilet paper, use your wing to clip it above the roll so there isn't a big wad and there is plenty left for the next hits. Stay clear of traffic and have some fun. One more thing, it is easy to get so focused on getting more hits that a pilot...

    Who Has the Right-of-Way?

    If we can express our differences here instead of in the traffic pattern, we all will be safer.

    Who Has the Right-of-Way?

    Who carries a drain bottle? I do.

    Who Has the Right-of-Way?

    I don't know the answer. I do know that when two pilots believe that each has the right of way bad things can happen. I don't like being dead right.

    Just curious....

    Not anymore. I did as a kid. We all did back them. I wear hearing aids now. Hearing is precious so protect those ears. And the 6 grand for decent hearing aids could buy some 100LL

    Non-Flying Public and Airplanes

    Many visitors with kids view a plane as playground equipment. They will stand on wings, sit on tails and, of course, sit in the seat.

    Nice little project.

    Now that is very good to hear. You soloed a Reliant at 16. I would love to fly one. My instructor told me that I could hop in one and fly it competently without any dual time, as long as he showed me how to start it. Cabin owners have told me the same thing. You learned to fly at a wonderful...

    Nice little project.

    Yes, those Stinsons have lots of wood parts. Every wing rib is different. I’ve visited their shop several times and am in awe of those big monoplanes. I took the controls for a brief time from the right seat in this one last summer. They fly nicely and are supposed to be pretty docile.

    I like that website!

    Nice little project.

    Good call. The staggering is a more complex aircraft requiring more hours to restore; however, there are far more of them. Both factors influence the sale price. Then there is the rating of ‘great’ and ‘decent’.
