Panda Distress…. Nuff said

$400 FBO owned community hangar with pullout/fuel service. It was $250 in 2023 but, after another group bought it (no, not PE), it jumped up. KIYA

I plan on getting the online course since the next in person event is yet to be scheduled (online is $600 for member/ $1200 in person). I would like to keep my budget in the $325K or below so I think, if I am patient and keep current with contacts who can find an off market plane, I should find...

The thumbs down was a joke; I’m in complete agreement and understanding of your observations. :) The 210 is the only piston plane that fits my travel needs and it fits them quite well. If Cessna still made them today the price would be well north of a 206.

I gave your post a thumbs down because that is the closest to a “that’s depressing” emoji as I could find. LOL My problem is the several pilots that fly 210’s that I’ve consulted all consider the current market planes overpriced. But their comparison is to what they paid 15-20 years ago. I...

Well, the market for M/N/R model 210'sis as nuts as the 172/182 market. Clapped out planes with great panels and reasonably maintained planes with original, or near original panels have unrealistic asking prices. I've seen a few well restored planes with great service records asking over...

Well, hopefully. I’m patient and will wait until I find ‘that right one’….then, yes, pics will follow. I have my eyeballs on one in my neck of the woods with new paint, outstanding new panel, mid time engine and within my budget. Too good to be true, most likely. The owner of the plane I flew...

I was graciously given the opportunity to fly a well maintained M na model today. Perfect for my needs. I hope I can find a well sorted N or R model with a modern panel. If the price is right one with a less modern would work but I hate to be down for the avionics work and have to sort out a new...

Des Moines Rifle and Revolver club hosts 600yd high power rifle matches at their range in Van Meter. F-class, a division of HP rifle is what I shoot. We fire from a prone position. Very welcoming to new or potential shooters. I shot our nationals at Lodi, WI this year (close to Madison). Very...

Give me your location and I’ll find the closest match that you can observe. Be prepared, it is like crack. One taste and it is over with. :biggrin:

Yes, this barrel and load is a shooter.

In example, the first target was holding dead center during load testing and not compensating for wind. The second target was compensating for wind by adding windage on the scope (600yds): The left target shows good precision but poor accuracy. The right target shows good accuracy and...

Not to be pedantic but….I’m going to be pedantic. LOL Precision is about repeatability. Accuracy is proximity from the desired impact point. For the most part, precision is a property of the rifle/ammunition combination whereas accuracy is dependent upon the monkey pulling the trigger. I get...

Yes, I have two different size stools that we use and a polyethylene sheet on the seat for him to slide in. :biggrin:

Yup, I’m grateful he can still travel with me. When I told him we were flying up to Wisconsin for our national championships this past summer he did not hesitate to join me. It was a long day up (much faster back south on the backside of a front) but he told what an amazing trip it was. That is...

I fully understand. My father, who flies with me frequently, has a weak leg from spinal stenosis and the other leg can bend only minimally from a less than optimal result of a total knee replacement. I have him step up on a folding plastic stool to transition to the strut step, then onto a...

No prop strike! Excellent. Sucks otherwise.

Older 206/P210 has one door on the pilot’s side. The non-pressurized 210 has two doors but no rear cargo doors like a 206 (my fixed gear contender). I am told that the 210 vs 182/206 is easier to enter/exit due to the lack of wing struts…at least in the models I would consider.

In my search for a piston single with increased speed and hauling capacity/ease of loading over my 182-S, I keep coming back to a later model C210. I would love to find a properly maintained N/R model with a NA IO-550 conversion. I have been asking questions and reading all I can on a Cessna...

Great idea. My friend was definitely over a half kilo with his ammunition. I shoot with people from all over the US and never heard of anyone being questioned. All it takes is once and it would spoil a national championship match. When the US team travels overseas the ammunition is shipped a...
