I just sold my 6-300. Loved it! I’d say go for a 6, toga, or lance. Nothing will compare in size and after 3 hours in the air that is the only thing that matters.

I’m retired so traffic is not an issue. It’s more for the schools and was hoping to have lake access. It if there is an area of faster appreciation I could give up lake proximity. Thanks for the input.

I am contemplating a move to Colombia SC from SWFL. I am curious about the number of flying days a year in the area. Here in ft myers we can fly almost every day of the year VFR. No Icing or fogged in weather around here. I’m also looking at needing to hangar my Cherokee 6. I know everyplace is...

I just insured my 32-300 as a sub 100 hr PPL no endorsements at all. What I was told by my agent at Falcon(best quotes of 4), IFR was worth about 10%. My best way to drop the rate was fly the type I insured. They wouldn’t even let my CFI (950tt 0 in type, CFII, MEI) go un-named due to 0 time in...

Hahah the age of the planes. May have been her excuse for such high premiums....dunno. Was enough to make me buy straight legs.

I was just shopping up until 3 weeks ago. 3/4 timed straight tail lance should be around 90 with that history.

I was just in this market. I ended up with a 32-300. The 182’s were 140-160 for a decent one. My insurance agent quoted double almost triple for retracts. I had her quote: 182, 6/300-260, arrows and dakotas/post 73 archers, commanche, lance/toga. I wore her out. She told me that the ins...

Thanks y’all. I’ve been scouring everywhere then poof. All in 5 minutes time.....

At least you didn’t feel both hands on your shoulder...

LOL. Actually I was waiting for my daughter and all of a sudden I’m having a prebuy tomorrow.

My wife got some more info from the realtor and hopefully it contains the contact info for the HOA person in charge of the children’s activity group. I’d like the kids to be residents not transient grandkids. We currently have 1 teenager on our community. I don’t want to move again for atleast...

That’s why I was hoping that Spruce Ceek would be different. 1500 homes only half have hangar/taxiway access. The rest are on the golf course or woods setting. Was hoping that maybe with shush a mix and the size we would find atleast a dozen or 2 among 1500.

Yeah that’s my other problem.. which plane to buy. If the oldest goes off to college and doesn’t fail to launch then we can stay 4 seat. I’m actually in the active hunt for something. It’s almost as hard as finding the right place to live.

Yeah, I’ll be the old guy at high school graduation. Wife wants another so hopefully within the next 12 moths I’ll be done.

We were looking at Spruce Creek because it is 4 hours from here and an easy day trip. My wife won’t live up north due to the winter. I don't blame her I grew up in SWFL. I would consider TX, NC, GA, FL, TN, SC. That SE US area. Oh, and coastal. Gotta be near the beach. I like that you can drive...

We have a 10 month old so we aren’t just sitting around. Our situation is unique and I’m thankful for it. I fish a lot and dive sometimes. IF I chose to live there I’d have a plane out back in a hangar and I can sure peel off the days in a shop. I could find activity groups in the area. Looking...

My wife and I spent yesterday at Spruce Creek with a realtor. I really like the community. My biggest concern is small children and young families. Are there a lot of children in the area? I have a 15 year old and a 10 month old. We are planning on having one more. How about a mom’s social...

You may even get a “free” day if they are closed on Sunday. I know Paragon works that way. Rent Saturday and return by Monday morning before the rental day starts and it’s one day.

Suncoast aviation. I rent from Paragon but that is in Ft Myers. We typically hug the coast and stay away from the ADIZ. The water is shallow and boats are everywhere. Fly over whitewater bay and turn right. Or keep south and turn over Marathon. Not sure on Suncoast policy but Paragon has a 4hr...
