I’ll admit that I lost track on this thread for a while and have not read every page. My largest ache was that you would never buy again and we lost an owner/comrade to shady business practices. So glad to see the Archer is in your hands. You will lose a lot more than $10K in ownership with...

I’m sure the envelope would’ve flown off also. The rubber band? Maybe. I keep my two blade prop straight up and down to discourage birds. I noticed a huge, chunky (for a bird) turd down my prop nonetheless. I meant to wipe off but forgot. Flew to lunch and back and the “substance” looked...

I’ve landed and waited it out more than I wish but I’ve never been caught in it. I’m still new and this is some solid info here. I’m in the southeast so this is, as said several times, part of the equation. My experience with adsb weather has always been behind the actual, sometimes frustratingly so.

Not judging the trip at all. Years ago, I drove to Spruce Creek all night to see a Tiger I didn’t buy. When you want/need a plane, there is a level of commitment (desperation) others may not understand.

I travelled locally with plans to go make an offer on a Mooney. Sat in it and decided against it. I also am short. I was eating the panel and felt like I was sitting on the floor. I like the performance and looks but the setup didn't suit me. I find that Mooney owners are very happy and...

Uber and Lyft seemed to have changed as well. We flew into our second airport “home” three weekends straight (KECP in Panama City Beach) and then we’re told on both apps that no cars are available (on a Thursday afternoon). I have zero political opinion on this, but the consensus at the FBO is...

Had a Tiger. Have friends with AA1s. Solid planes and fun to fly. I don’t know about Bozeman but, in the Southeast, people are quite jealous when you taxi by with an open canopy while they drip in sweat.

Was wondering the same thing. Nice.

Really enjoyed this. Also had my wife watch. She is definitely scared, a lot like Poppins, but gets the need for the training. Setting up soon. Thanks.

No famous pilots met as of yet. Including with the last name Wagner....

Bought a Tiger for $47k in 2017. Probably got a bit of a deal. Insured it and got PPL licensed in it. Three years later it was totaled by hail while tied down. Could not find a comparable Tiger under $100K+...and it is worse now. Fast for a fixed gear while insurance is scaring some away from...

Beach and golf are great there. Rent a bike and motor around; tons of trails.

Since when do we buy planes based on merit, wisdom or time savings?! I'm simply jealous. I'd much rather have my seaplane endorsement that gyro, heli, etc.

Really enjoyed the video. Might have been more intrigued by the interview of the manager of the venue. Nice add on to a flying video! Good decision making regarding the reroute.

I’ve landed there three times at least. Great ramp, nice FBO and cool staff. We have rented a car with Enterprise and also done Uber (or Lyft, don’t remember). Both are easy and quick. Dollywood has solid rides, I’m not so inclined to the hillbilly culture (a lot of the shows and restaurants...

I use FF on anything 50+ nm from home airport.

It sounds like you want the mic option and the ability to converse back and forth. My son doesn’t keep a mic near his lips so we just bought decent ANR Bluetooth headphones from Amazon. He gets the protection, but no conversation.

I can probably do the 20th but no chance for the 21st.

Wow, nine hours on POA with money being no object. Not a single comment about having the wings moved lower....

Dont trust me. I'm as new as you! Ive always cleaned with "water only" trying not to scrub or even touch as much as possible. After it air dried I used pledge to put a thin coat of wax over the plexiglass. Not sure where I heard about it.
