I'm still on the hunt for a plane and was considering a Maule taildragger. I called Avemco for a quote and it was almost $6k. I have 100 tail wheel, 600 total, and my IFR. Any ideas on what I could expect for around $100k hull value and other companies I should try? Thank you, Jesse

Had a 300D in my 172B. Was a great engine if you weren't looking for a rocket ship. I would keep running it and do an oil analysis at oil changes. If you might keep the 300 later put a filter kit on it now too and cut the filter every change. Mine would make carb ice at cruise power around...

As mentioned use time in between to start knocking out the cross country hours. If you have time and want to start studying for the ifr written go for it. There's a lot of brand new info to absorb. Might be good to get that out of the way before you start the flight training portion. And...

Poop BEFORE you go, don't try to hold it.

St Augustine or a short hop from Jacksonville would work too

I was wondering if anyone has a mechanic in the Jacksonville area they would suggest for a prebuy. It is a Citabria, so hopefully someone familiar with fabric experience. Thank you, Jesse

How much would an overhaul be for an O-320 if I need at least a new crankshaft? Would rather a good engine shop than a field overhaul, doesn't need to be factory. How much for just a bottom end? Understand there are ranges here and other surprises could pop up.

Has anyone used AeroTitle for title and escrow services?

Looking for recommendations for a shop or person to do an annual on a Champ just west of Bangor as a prebuy. Curtiss Air is tied up for a month so they are out. Thank you.

Thinking about a Sundowner. I'm never going all that far, so 105-110 kts doesn't bother me. I have a bunch of F33A time, so why not keep it in the family. I like the idea of 4 seats so I can take my family on short hops. Any reason I wouldn't want to use this to go for my commercial and CFI...

I'm looking to get into a simple tail wheel plane like a Champ. If it has an electrical system, how much do I need to budget for ADSB assuming it needs a transponder too? Live outside of Boston so don't want to be limited. Thank you.

Why wouldn't you have cared for a Clipper? I always just assumed they were the same except sticks/yokes. Thanks Jesse

My wife is 5'3 and petite, and #3 is my 6 yo at around 45 pounds. I'm 6' but only around 165 pounds as well. Pacer would be great so that all three of us can go, or me and the wife with two folding bikes.

Looking to buy a 3+ person plane like a PA12 or early Maule, also considering something like a Clipper or Pacer. Anyone have experience with those Pipers and if they would be comfortable for someone 6ft and a 34" inseam in terms of legroom? Flew a PA11 the other day and I found it quite...

One of those is not in my price range.

Does the PA-12 have a baggage are or anything behind the rear seat. Looking for enough room for some beach towels, a small bag for a change of clothes, and maybe a small cooler. Thinking it could be a great plane for short trips for my little fam.

The Apache and a potato.

I've loved the 500 since I was a kid. Been eyeballing Mosquito XETs. But thinking maybe I should stick to my $250 RC electric help. Crash that enough as it is.

Composite damage can be harder to detect in some instances, but composites can also be repaired. The accident sounds pretty significant. I would want hyper-detailed information on what the damage was, who repaired it, how it was repaired, etc. The salesman sounds like he is spouting pure BS...

Have it on my 2011 Silverado and no issues, just burns a little more oil than new. Mechanic says he sees a lot of issues with the new Chevy version. The idea of stop start with turbo engines seems nuts to me if the turbos are oil cooled.
