160kts ar 13gph is fair. Just started lessons in a 1990 F33A with a 550 and it is a hoot! If I can get a champ or PA12 too Ill have the spectrum covered.

During an acro lesson in a citabria. Was inverted at the too of a loop. Not enough power and speed and went into a spin inverted. Recovered and went on my way. Was pretty cool, except that at that point I was already trying to not throw up and wanted to do one more loop to close out...

By me they tow them up with ultralights. Cool to watch.

Buy a horse, then sell the horse and start flying. Flying will no longer seem expensive. Problem solved. And welcome!!

I have an XDs 9mm for IWB, and an MP40c or Ruger GP100 for OWB depending what I’m up to. Use a G19 for the house since that is what the wife is comfortable with. That was my first pistol and one of my favs. This is mostly just for fun. Doibt Ibwould use it as a self defense pistol.

In MA you can only buy pistols from FFLs that are on a particular list. Very lame, I know. Otherwise some of the others you all mention would be high on the list. I have no idea what type of competition I would do, just think it would be fun to try my hand at it to have some fun with...

Thinking about a 1911 and know a bunch of people here are into shooting. I am limited in MA which firearms I can purchase. I need an ambi safety, and I hate the look of an external extractor. Purpose is mostly just for fun at the range, maybe trying out a competition. I realize these range...

I shot the buyer a note and he said toss it. That’s the plan. Thanks everyone! The more I hear, MA actually isn’t too bad a place to own a plane, in terms of taxes.

My thoughts are the same. I am not a resident of CA, and the sale did not take place in CA. They can get the buyers address from the FAA. I'll just let the buyer know what's going on.

This past Feb I sold my plane to someone in CA. I live in MA, the plane was handed over in MA. I got a letter from California asking all sorts of information about the transaction (sale price, owner address, etc). I"m thinking about just sending them nothing at all, or sending them the bill...

Reducing drag vs. creating lift.

What headset is that and do you like it? Have a 5 day old and will be looking to take her up soon and want her little ears protected. If i pay an instructor, can i have her log time at like 2 weeks so she has a super early logbook?

Glad I don’t live in North Jersey anymore. Seems to be TFRd all the time now. And I thought the once or twice a year TFR on the Cape was bad during Obama.

I would fill my tanks and drink a bottle of water before the flight. Never have to worry about running out of fuel.

I went to the NY one many years ago. Had the hangar passes one day and took the wife, next day took my dad for fathers day. Was an amazing experience. Got to meet Goulian and he is a heck of a nice guy. Cool to see all the persistence paying off for him this year.

I’d love a 180, but anything beyond very basic panels puts them well outside my reach rather quickly. If i have enough pennies saved when its time, I’d love to end up with one.

Thanks eveyone.

Thinking about our mission a bit more, my wife is leaning towards a 182 and it makes sense to me as well. If I were looking at a stock 182 from the 60s, O-470, what is a real life cruise speed and fuel burn. I have some POHs but know those aren’t always real world numbers. We want something...

Days like that are making me consider a Champ.

Ha! My wife is into horses. She doesn’t say a word about my flying. In fact, we share each other’s hobbies and it works out well.
