Thanks for the input, folks. As EdFred noted, it was almost a rhetorical question. I needed to be reminded of the potential downside. Is there a movie like "The Money Pit" based on buying an airplane?

I'm just surprised at the low price. Less than a lot of 172s. 3 times the expense, I'm sure.

Where's that guy who argued the elevator was the main control for turning a plane? That would be the icing on the cake.

DISCLAIMER : I HAVE NO IDEA HOW THE RETEST PROCESS WORKS. I'd want to use the same DPE. This guy failed you on specific items a, b, & c. Go back and demonstrate a, b, & c. Done. Seems like a new guy would be starting from ground zero. Plus there's some satisfaction in proving...

That's a good start on a country song.... just need to add in something about momma, prison, and a train. :D

:rofl:

Just admitting you have a problem goes a long way towards solving it. And I'm only labeling this a "problem" because you did. Edit.... you didn't call it a problem. Just a habit! :D If you're locked into 20 degrees of flaps and throttle at idle, you're eliminating a couple of tools...

I've never landed with less than 1 hour's worth of gas in the tanks. Once I landed at a podunk airport to drop off a buddy. I did the usual dipstick measurement and had 1 hour's fuel on board. I was 30 minutes from my home airport. I just couldn't talk myself into taking off even though...

I received something in the mail offering a subscription to IFR magazine. Anyone get this magazine? Is it worthwhile?

I love how he put it right on the spot. No problem, mon!

I remember that thread. I guess we all draw the line somewhere. I have two friends that I've known for 20+ years that, within the past 2 years, have made statements that made me lose a lot of respect for them. It's unfortunate. I sometimes wonder if I'm the one in the wrong for setting...

The videos remind me of my first day on a snowboard.

Why do people complain about old threads being resurrected? There's really nothing new under the sun. Well, really rarely. If folks only spoke when they had something truly new and exciting to say, most of us would never speak. I fly a PA-28 occasionally and had never given much...

Not much to add but in case anyone is tallying the votes.... This exact scenario happened to me. I didn't log the time and I didn't pay for the time.

Where's that nutcase who drones on and on about the Wright Bros not doing squat? He's usually entertaining. :D

:rofl: True regardless of PBOR2 progress.

Flying at night is awesome but...... as a single engine guy the thought of a forced night landing gives me the heebie jeebies. Luckily those thoughts don't really diminish my enjoyment of night flying, they just reduce the percentage of time I spend flying at night. :-)

Or the ceiling wasn't 400' at the spot they hit the ground.

Clearly!
