Showing this to my wife, "Don't you just look at your altitude, say, that's far off, then ... go up?" I think the Citation was able to go faster due to the golf ball effect from all those dents and dimples!

I read the two FAA publications, then did the Sheppard Air course with the FAR/AIM by my side. Skim the FAA books VERY quickly, then refer back as needed while going through the questions. My plan is to give another quick read through before the oral/practical. Sheppard Air does a really good...

Yeah, the cops show up every time I work on my car or plane without pants. The parents claim it is “for the children.”

Excellent video. Short, sweet, and too the point! Not much manages to retain my attention the whole way through. Now, please explain why a horse quarter-sheet is named so when it clearly is about half the size of a normal sheet. (Waiting for my wife at the barn and when I asked she just...

Welcome! Im out of 1B9. There’s a good group of us locally that get together for lunches and stuff.

It can be therapeutic to head to the basement in the evening, go through the plans, and drill and debut. Building is enjoyable and I have no timeline when people ask. I feel like that would suck the fun out of it if I were chasing a target. Selling my 172 last week has fueled the motivation...

If you want aerobatics, get the 7 or 14. The 14 is probably a little more expensive than the 7 or 9, but supposedly goes together a little easier. Maybe not so much the structure, but I hear other parts are a little better planned. I wanted to spend a little less and like the closer cockpit...

Thanks everyone for your messages and offers. My CFI might actually be able to help out for a reasonable cost if the deal goes through.

I agree with all that. Buyer seems uninformed so was trying to help him out and get a rough idea on prices to see if it was worth pursuing. It is his plane after the prebuy and purchase before it moves. Will def have a contract too. As for flight planning, 95kts and 7 gph. Beats me why he...

I would sell him the plane here in MA after a prebuy and then someone would ferry him his plane back to CA. No way I’m moving a plane to CA just to find out he is no longer interested. This conversation is just to see how much I may need to help him with ferry costs as part of a negotiation...

I'm convinced you could take a picture of pretty much anything in the air and make me lust after it.

Yes, it will be his responsibility to set it all up. He said he would pay full price if I would deliver. I don't have the time, so said I would pay for part of the delivery. I'm trying to assist him through the buying process a bit as he seems a bit confused about how timing works in terms of...

Any idea what it would run to ferry a 172 from Boston to San Fran? I have a potential buyer but just don't have the time to do the trip right now.

When I have a path that takes me clearly through Boston, they either tell me to remain outside of Bravo or cleared through and the particular route. When I get close I usually specifically request the clearance and they give it if able. Once while outside Bravo and circling around the...

I didn’t realize it was a twin jet. Very cool. If that fuel and weight stat is true, not sure they ever thought they had a real bad lane there.

I know very little about it, but always enjoyed looking at them. Were they thinking about a VLJ at some point?

Might try for a brunch tomorrow. If I move it wont be until the summer so I’ll be around for a bit.

It is indeed up for sale. We want to move south. Then I’m debating something like a Tiger, or a partnership in something fancier like a Mooney or Bo. I’ve fallen in love with this IFR flying and want something quicker and more capable. Not putting lots if avionics in a 1961. I will miss...

Once someone hands over the cash, how do I actually sell the plane and transfer ownership? I own the plane so no banks involved. Thanks, Jesse
