...found the Ptt portable button. Actually got 2 to make sure there is a backup until the main one gets fixed. Thank you for the suggestion. Hopefully this is what we think this is and problem solved

Not sure: he says it has a button but he has not tried it. Where can he get a portable PTT?

So I totally don't know what I am talking about. My son was flying his Aerobat ( 150 engine, extended gas tanks. He noticed couple of days ago that radio was acting wonky. Next flight everything was OK. Today again but this time tower could not hear him and hand radio was not that helpful. He...

So we did find a plane we like. The Pre-buy showed one low cylinder compression 45/80 ( will be repaired by seller) and elevator is also being repaired. I am not sure of the timelines. Thoughts?

Thank you. This is really helpful

I would have preferred if it had engine conversion and STOL kit and expanded tanks, but..... Kiddo would be flying this plane alone. He is actually trying to loose weight so he can train on tail dragger . That would require him and instructor to be under certain weight for plane they have...
