    Sufficiently offending the seller of an aircraft?

    You're making a much bigger deal out of this than it is. You made an offer he chose not to except it. You weren't making friends, he wasn't making friends, that was not the reason you ever met him. He likely doesn't think twice about you from here on out. You have no reason to worry about...

    is there a method to this madness?

    As far as the 172s and 182s, there is a reason they are the most common aircraft built and owned. They do lots of things pretty darn well. Not everything the best, but lots of things, including everything in your mission. And, best of all, they are a "commodity", so they are easy to buy (lots...

    [rant, but not a great one]Engine auto shutoff disablement[/not great rant]

    I had a 1979 MBZ the same way.... And, sometimes, it would start when you turned the key...... until you jiggled the steering wheel and moved the shifter to neutral. And then get to a destination and pull the key out while running..... Fun times...

    There is a whole industry that caters to people who are afraid of things. Look at how much advertising on Fox News that LifeLock does. What is that service? $200-300 per year that people have become convinced is going to protect them. It just depends on how much fear one wants to live their...

    But they don't screw up as often as the "barstool geniuses" drinking Keystone Light and telling stories about their uncle's buddy's nephew's teacher's barber's mom who has a faulty Jeep Grand Cherokee....

    No. But I frequently read POA while sitting on the toilet. Not sure why you need to make personal insults. And Violate the rules of conduct. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Who is upset? Some of us are just shaking our heads, and laughing. I think it's amusing, The lengths people will go. And I just try and understand what motivates that behavior. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Yes, it really is far-fetched to think somebody's going to see your plane 500 miles away and then drive as fast as they can to beat you back to your house to rob your house. They will have driven past 499 miles of other peoples houses. And once I get to your house, how did they know you don't...

    Which Twin?

    For $10,000 a month, wouldn't you be better just to charter a king air where you wanted to go? And have money left over. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Do you really think that people are tracking down owners of airplanes to commit sinister acts against them? I am guessing anybody can drive past your house, and get your address. Why would they waste time trying to track your airplane down to get your home address? Or have you hidden your...

    [rant, but not a great one]Engine auto shutoff disablement[/not great rant]

    I too have taken "mechanical engineering coursework" and I am smart enough to know that I would not be informed enough to pass judgement on the engineers at Ford and their implementation of this feature. And, unless you know this system, which, based on this thread, it is clear you do t...

    You will still have your name registered on the plane, but just a PO box listed as the address? What will that accomplish? Other than costing you money and effort? Do you think with the information of your name, and the PO Box, sinister operatives will be prevented from executing their...

    [rant, but not a great one]Engine auto shutoff disablement[/not great rant]

    Are you smart enough to judge the engineers who designed and implemented the system? Not running an engine when power output is not desired seems brilliant.

    Wouldn't common sense be more associated with the effort to do something vs the value of doing that task? What "common sense" leads one to jump thru the hoops proposed, in order to disassociate one's address and N-number?

    Yes. This. And, I am guessing there are tons of logbooks floating around with your Social Security number in them. And you still enjoy sunrises each day.....

    The inquiry is asking what the value is. Share with the rest of us how much safer you are if your address is hidden. So nobody knows your N- number. Are all the rest of us at some grave danger because ours are not hidden? Please make us all safe. Pass along the wisdom you have. Sent...
