I certainly would like to learn more about "aircraft worth exploring..."; no reason to explore the "other aircraft."

This is probably not the best way to discuss this one-off issue; it is best to do so one-on-one with a CFI in the plane, by demonstrating etc; the simple, no risk, safe answer is clearly: don't; I understand your perspective...thanks for the 2 cents.

most of the topics on this thread are about getting a medical, to be legal, to get or keep a ticket; my question is a bit different, would appreciate guidance; I am a 62 y/o rusty pilot with a goal of flying VFR for enjoyment mostly; have a current medical; I have flown mostly from the right...

I don't but trying to strategize; I tried a cherokee; the hand brake (with a separate hydraulic) was qite effective, nice; All my time is in a 172/182 so I am biased towards a cessna; this is only one factor in a decision; never looked into the tri-pacer; I am exploring modifying (or...

thanks for the suggestion re. maintenance bay; the answer to your question is yes;

Does anyone have experience with modifying (either temporarily attaching or more permanently) the rudder/toe brake pedals on a cessna? Google search comes up with "union controls" as an old STC but would like to interact with someone with current experience with it; the parking brake (which is...
