My family took one in secret while we where flying the kids back to college. Took it from the back seat and enlarged it as others have said. It is my one of my favorite gifts ever and hangs in a prominent place. Glad that when they took it I had tailwinds and was on altitude so the instruments...

Serengeti brown/Amber is my favorite. I did try yellow shooter glasses for a while. Kind of fun on top with those - they really let you see bright cloud detail without tiring your eyes.

I think it looks great. Now enjoy messing up the leading edges with bugs as you fly the heck out of it.

Both my top beacon and my belly strobe would whine over the headsets unless I used the audio panel's pilot isolate button. It was especially bad when I tried to patch cord in music that was being powered by the cigarette lighter until I put a filter on the audio cord. When I went to an LED top...

My plane is in the before 1971 group. I was able to get rid of the top and bottom beacons with Whelen Orion 650 and 500 LED lights/beacons. Coupled with LED landing lights I now fly with everything on. Before LED's I had to turn my landing lights off to lower the gear so the breaker wouldn't...

Just flew it away. Glad to have it back again.

Quite a few years ago a venture was built in the hanger next to mine. The design and quality of the components was very impressive. The owner over committed and had a business go south so he had to sell it very shortly after completion. Why I mention it, some potential buyers all flew it over a...

It was on ff for a short while, although it was in yellow since the activation time hadn't happened yet. Doesn't show now.

It looks real, but not a "normal" tfr DUE TO REQUIRED MILITARY ACTIVITY ON 1030 !FDC 6/7090 ZDC SPECIAL NOTICE. DUE TO REQUIRED MILITARY ACTIVITY ON 1030/1090 MHZ, THE TCAS SYSTEM AND ADS-B SYSTEM MAY BE LESS SENSITIVE THAN NORMAL IN THE AIRSPACE OVER PORTIONS OF MARYLAND, VIRGINIA AND NORTH...

Closest airport usually works, but you mentioned it's 40 miles away. Windsocks and/or wind arrows over the field give direction. Any nearby powerplants will have steam plumes. You get so you can tell not only direction, but a little of wind speed by looking at the steam. Lakes (okay, near Las...

I google n numbers from tv sometimes. It's fun when it's an older show - there is a Columbo I just ran across from the 70's(?) where Johnny Cash is flying and then crashing a 172. Despite Hollywood's crash, it's still alive and flying today. Surprisingly, the Columbo episode was fairly accurate...

I'm currently in for repair and paint after hail damage. Many planes on my field were hit by a storm. After deductible, the insurance company is picking up 100% of the mechanical repairs and about 1/2 the paint job. Their reasoning to me was it's didn't hail on the bottom of the plane. You must...

My home field Is under the philly class b. They will never give you direct, so just file a nearby vor and an airway or two. They will give you a long clearance no matter what. As soon as you get to one airspace west of philly, request and atc will give you direct. North or southbound from philly...

New progress picture. Still working on control surfaces.

Imron was reformulated at least 3 times since 1978. I'm not saying the issues are fixed or not because I was not in the direct business, but the 1978 comparison might as well be to a different product. (Retired DuPont employee)

$1350 for 6 seat Comanche

Visited today and the plane was under cover for the grey accent stripe. Supposedly the blue is already finished.

I don't know the total amount of paint used. Maybe when I get the bill?? They did strip the gear and wheel wells. I'm amazed at how much work that must have been but have to admit even I don't know how they managed all of it. I did see some of the detail work they had to do in other areas, and...

"Looks great so far! Did they mask the tires or did you opt for whitewalls? ;)" I thought I would keep the white tape look
