Hey, As I know there are Colorado members here, I had a question. I'm flying a Pilots and Paws mission from Denton, TX to Denver on Monday the 21st and the requested drop off was north Denver, so I figured BJC would be a good bet. (Multiple runways approaches etc..) So looking online I notice...

Mid continental VOR/LOC & Glideslope indicator removed from a 1964 Cherokee 235 due to a panel upgrade. Unit was fully working when removed and was coupled to a Garmin 430W. The only reason for removal is that we upgraded to Dual G5s so it was no longer needed. $1,200 OBO Part# MD200-306 SN#...

One fully working rotating beacon removed from a 1964 Piper Cherokee 235. (Was replaced with a LED Beacon) Grimes PN# D-7080-A SN# 34625 Unit is fully working, worked on the plane and we bench tested it as well to be sure. Both bulbs are functional and beacon rotates. $110 OBO Item located in...

I just got my 2 new G5s, there wasn't much transition training for me I read the manual and went out flying. The biggest difference for me was the location and display of the CDI and Glide slope as i was used to looking at a traditional CDI off to the right. The other thing I would recommend is...

I know a shop on OKC that's doing my dual G5s (They are an authorised Aspen dealer as well) and have some space within 30 to 40 days. PM me if you want the details. As a side note their pricing beat out my other quotes by some margin as well.

I used to live in Kuwait, and had my 2 cats shipped cargo separately from me. KLM will fly pets as cargo without an accompanying person (Though at at price, +- $1,100 us), and there is someone in Kuwait that works with the local shelters that runs a service that will drop the animal at the...

I'd be up for that what time?

I personally found this useful when training. https://pilotworkshop.com/products/vfr-communication/ Has lots of examples and scripts as well as step by step explanations of the process and I would say covers 95% of the comms scenarios out there.

Good to know, as I have a 30 in my Cherokee, did email them so lets see if the price matches. But yeah at 5K TrueTrack does look more appealing.

Just FYI on their site in the small print "The $2,995 pricing is a "starting at" upgrade price from a previously installed System 50 or 60-2 S-TEC autopilot system" So not sure if it applies to a S-TEC 30.

I use these. (Except mine are yellow) https://www.sportys.com/pilotshop/plastic-wheel-chocks.html Light, easy to stuff in the back, and should not scratch anything.

Just went on the list for 2 as well looks like a nice alternative to a dual G5 setup.

Might want to consider a Cherokee 235, I just bought one and flew it from Sacramento to Texas and was comfortable and awesome performance (Especially climb). Pros: Relatively easy maintance Lots of power and load (Mine has 1390Lbs Usefull) 84 Gal Of fuel (At ROP cruise at 120KTS Indicated was...

HOA has it ups and downs but if you read the rules ahead of time, most are common sense. And yes having the HOA means that for a relatively small amount of $ monthly (A lot less than hangar rent) I get a maintained paved strip with lights and a GPS approach. I'd say that's a good deal.

In TX property tax is actually quite reasonable, it varies from county to county but on an approximate $300K house it's about $2700 per year with a homestead exemption, and it's not only real estate Tax, no state income tax, and sub $4 per gallon Avgas. Oh and we have a golf course included in...

Well I just moved (Jan of 19) to a house on 0TX1 (Near Granbury, TX) my house is on the west side of the runway, we have fuel, a lighted runway, and a GPS approach and I got in for a lot less than $400K. As for looking for places I personally took the approach of listing my Minimum requirements...

@Hank completely agree on the Eastbound speed. At one point (Albuquerque to Lubbock TX) we were getting 155 Ground speed with 125 indicated.

Hey guys, just FYI already bought the plane :-) but appreciate the comments. Looked at Mooney’s and long story short they are just too tight for me, I would need a few months of yoga just get in and out of one. (Yes I did try) The plane has the Autofuel STC it’s rated for 87 octane. I agree...

Just an update if anyone is interested. In the end I ended up with a 64 Pa-28-235 Cherokee. After much searching that plane came out on top mainly due to the following: 1. Useful load 2. Overall MX Costs 3. Descent performance (125 to 130 Indicated in cruise) and climb of 1000fpm even when it's...

Hello all, I'm lookign at purchasing a PA-28-235 that is currently in Placerville Ca, and wanted to know if anyone had a recommendation for a good piper A&P in the area that can do a proper pre buy on the A/C. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
