43 hours. Have about 4.5 solo. I'm dragging my feet on the long solo. I've done a couple mini cross country flights to nearby airports. CFI says I'm ready for check, just need to wish out the solo time. We have done a few extra curricular true short fields... so much fun. Still battling the...

Thanks!

Yea. The 172 fuselage is nice. I’m assuming the 170 is the same fuselage. But a C170 the same condition and TSOH is significantly more money. My wife and I are about 300 pounds combined. 170 ish and 130 ish. Plus the stick is awesome. Don’t get me wrong. I would LOVE a 170. But they are so hot...

I think my ideal would be a clipper with wing tank STC (fuselage tank removed), and a simple panel. Definitely need/want ADSB and a radio around here. I’m 2 inches from SFRA and often fly into it. Will be flying the 172 potentially into KHEF later this afternoon actually. Thank you guys for...

Thanks! I’ll check them out. Yea it’s a niche thing. I’m a sucker for post war engineering and nostalgia.

I've got a bee in my bonnet right now. I'm really wanting a clipper or a pacer. My initial PPL training should be finishing up soon and I am planning on tail wheel endorsement. I really like the clipper. It looks like the perfect combo of fun, character, history, and ability. I don't know...

Thanks! I am flying out of KHWY, though I live closer to KHEF.

Hello everyone. I've read countless threads here but never joined up until today. I just wanted to introduce myself. I am just finishing up my initial flight training for PPL. I've got about 42 logged. I just need to finish out some solo time and do my check ride. I was going to wait to...
