Well said. I have a small grass strip in a rural area just outside a mode C veil. We just had a new hangar built on our private owned, public use airstrip and the overhead before turning one shovel of dirt was $13,000. Flood zone, flood mitigation, sub-surface compaction(soils test), enviro...

I had a whole big dissertation written up, and deleted it all. If you think the prod move to China supported the sales of the plane, it's a semi-free country, so go right ahead. I already provided two indie links to the contrary and there are a lot more out there, and nothing is going to change...

https://www.skytough.com/post/cessna-skycatcher-review The 162 was seen as the quintessential flight trainer. Especially since it was certified within the LSA framework. This meant that it could be flown by pilots without a medical certificate, in contrast to the 150 and 152 which are both...

Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?! :D As I recall, in that movie was a plush 1962 or 63 Lincoln Conti with suicide doors that was cut up and turned into the parade 'float'.

According to Cessna, the 'savings' by making it in China amounted to $71,000/plane. But - I think that's hogwash because the initial price of around $100k quickly rose to $149k. A 50% bump in price, mostly due to the logistics of sending a lot of bits from the US TO China, then assemble, then...

It was fairly cool and light winds across the runway, all in all a great day for Nov. So I hopped in the flivver and did some TO and landings. On my third take off(I rarely do T&G due to the flap and gear settings) I decided to do a near max perf take off. With 10deg of flaps, and a light x...

The musings above here bring to mind the C-162. Such high hopes, a lot of interest from every facet of GA how Cessna was going to save the GA world. Then, performance was crap. Built in China, more crap on top of crap. Price increases every month pre-release. Both prototype crashed. How Not To...

Yes. I was messing with my parachute straps, and did my clear with the window cracked open on the left. Then looked down to the panel to hit the button. There was a woman walking toward the plane from the right, and I saw her as I looked up and she quickly stopped, and backed up. Mostly my fault...

Mt pool is a salt pool. I've had the AquaRite cell power supply for ages. One day, the display is goofy, and it won't come on. I sighed, 'oh well I got 12 good years out of it'. But - just before ordering a $1500 replacement, I went a did a quick search online. There were a couple of links...

We have the skinny 20" Miele DW on the boat. It's almost silent. Seems to work well but haven't run a ton of cycles yet. Also have stack washer dryer Miele and only ran two cycles through it so far. Also very quiet. Only thing I worry about is the discharge from the DW getting clogged.

Um, have you ever heard of a gen named Patton? Served a bit in EU theatre. Was investigated for abusing an EM and was forced to issue a public apology. He did 'ok' in his war effort. As for the gen on the AF plane, sit down when told. If there's turbulence, and it's going to toss the meatsacks...

Move it, park in the spot, place the cone next to some utility pole, or mail box, or other public structural element.

Um, you had an intake gasket leak. It was not getting "any fuel"? Most common an intake gasket(was it metal)/seal will leak air into the cyl, creating a lean condition but the fuel from the carb is not affected. If it was running over idle as stated, then it was getting fuel, just too lean at...

Was "easy" a requirement? He closed with 'crazy or not so crazy'. Do you know how the 'ignore' feature works? Add me when you have a few min. Thx

I see a lot of critics here, but very little contribution towards the OPs ask. KInda sad. I don't mind critical positions per-se, but to be critical without offering any solution is the weak man's choice.

I have several tankless at my cabins which are off grid. They work great. One of them needed a booster water pump from an RV which cost $56 extra but I have gobs of hot water instantly. The electric element type use a ton of amps. Usually two or three 60amp breakers for one tankless. I don't...

The fully enclosed, with all doors rigged on the Bo likely adds 25-ish knots, or even more. No one measures it because the max gear extension and max gear speeds. But - it's a thing of beauty. It's so robust, the same exact gear stuff with the same part numbers is used on the B55 and B58 Baron...

To each his own. I don't give a wet, dribbly shilt if the tenants clothes wear out. As long as I don't have to go out on a repair.

I dun know. 2%? A bit more?

Grrrrr, you could'a got the Culver Cadet. It's still for sale. Still a bargain. Still retract.
