Now, what's up with that? My Tiger had a useful load of 961 lbs, with fuel to the tabs (38 gallons), I had a remaining payload of 733 lbs. Some of these planes have older avionics, ADF's etc, and if you pull that stuff out, you can get a bit more. I flight plan for 130 KTAS takeoff to...

Yes I still use it, especially for fuel pricing.

Agree on all points.

I'm sure you know this, but for some that may not, appraisals, and any real estate valuations are VERY subjective. The true market value of a property is only revealed when it is SOLD. As no two properties are exactly alike, adjustments need to be made in order to attempt to bring the...

Greg. Sorry to hear about your Mom. Start with realtor.com, and Zillow.com to get any comps at all. You may want to get a referral for reputable realtors in that market, and get a few "opinions of value". These are typically free, and provided by realtors in order to get the listing...

Holy moly. I know that's not the AA1! :)

And Matthew Barnaby, and Tie Domi were flight attendants, right? :)

Nothing wrong with a Sundowner, PA28, C-172, etc. but I will agree the Grummans are a good solid GA plane, and will get you more speed on the same power, and are fun to fly.

Have you considered relocating the tankless water heater closer to the master bathroom?

Hey, I have no problem with AOPA including drone operators as long as it doesn't conflict with GA, but let's be honest, they are remote operators of a device. They are not General Aviation pilots. I still don't think the NRA analogy applies, but that is probably not a subject for this forum.

Thanks Mike. :)

Ha, yeah. Firearms shoot bullets, airplanes have pilots, and carry passengers. Drones? Very different. I don't blame AOPA for wanting to tap into the revenue stream for drone operators, but they are a very different audience with possibly conflicting interests.

Does it fly?

I used to be based at KFTG with my Tiger, and was in one of "Windchaser's" hangars. I also took the CPA Mountain Flying Course which as you say was excellent. I went in and fortunately out of Leadville several times, and remember a female CFI training in a 150 HP Cessna 172 when I was there...

Glad to see a lot of AA5, and Tiger recommendations. It is a good, efficient, and faster alternative, and easy to ingress/egress.

Eric is right. That is a very sobering fact. If a guy that experienced in mountain flying can kill himself, anyone can. Wind, and weather will be your driving factors as others have said, and a mountain flying course, and some flight time with an experienced mountain flying pilot is a good...

I have 1,000 hours in a Tiger, and I flight planned for 135 KTAS, and that was flying less than 75% typically.

I learned in a Cessna 152, and then rented C-150's, and C-172's for a while before I started flying Warriors, and Archers. I much preferred the Pipers, so then I bought a 1968 Cherokee140B. I have no problem with the Johnson Bar, and one door. Getting in and out wasn't an issue for me, and I...

Holy necro thread! :)

Thanks guys.
