I am most definitely interested! I shot you a note via the contact form; thank you!

MHD, I was just about to bump this thread again as I don't have enough posts to create a new one under Classifieds. Ian and I are seeking another 1-2 partners at KJYO. Our LLC is formed and registered and we're aiming to have a total of 4-5 owners to split the cost of a Cirrus SR20 (preferably a...

Hi Justin, fellow P2J student here, now working on instrument; I believe we met at the BBQ. Let me know if you come across any partnership opportunities elsewhere. I’m also happy to chat about Diamondshare if you’re interested in a new DA40. I had a couple calls with them to get details.

I have been laughing at this for two days straight now, thanks. :D

:D Understood, thank you very much for your detailed response. Assuming I owned my own SLSA that burned ~5gph and I flew my targeted 200 hours per year I’d save $2,110 on fuel alone if using premium mogas instead of 100LL. There’s a gas station just outside the entrance to my home field so I...

Oh man, these Tecnams look spiffy! They’re definitely in line with what I’m looking for; I’ll need to monitor prices for later down the road.

Good call on shopping around for a mechanic, thank you. It’s interesting to find that most everyone is saying maintenance costs are about the same, presuming I can find mechanic that knows Rotax. I figured a smaller mogas engine would be cheaper to maintain. Looks like I’ll need to talk to some...

Oh nifty! How did the annual costs of the CT compare with your Lycoming?

Yeah I live 30 mins equidistant between HEF and JYO and there’s only 2-3 clubs that all fly the same Bond planes....except for one with an SR22 for about ten billion dollars a month. I feel really lucky my school offers very reasonable rates for their DA40s and 20s. Meanwhile, the Magnus dealer...

Thank you all very much for your input! The RV12is and the Magnus can both be equipped for IFR for ~160k, which is the price point I’m looking at. If I’m lucky maybe I can get a mid-2000s DA20 for the same price, but it still brings me back to compare maintenance costs. Yes I know I can get a...

I’m a couple decades late to the pilot party but I’m finally on track to earn my PPL and Instrument rating this year. Since planes are obviously heinously expensive I’m trying to plan out what might be feasible to own in a year or two (slim pickings for clubs and partnerships near me), and SLSAs...

Ah you’ll be fine; my taxiing was dramatically better during my second flight and I didn’t even have to think about it on the third. Good tip from my CFI was to lightly tap one brake to start a turn from a dead stop if needed, but really it became a nonissue after I was comfortable enough with...

Well said and I’m in the same boat. Been simming for the same length of time and even built a VR cockpit with all the high end controls. I finally started working towards my PPL and aside from knowing what most of the instruments meant I had no idea what I was doing. My attempt at taxiing for...

Hi, I’m new here and in the same boat. Built a high end VR simpit with the best stick/throttle/rudder on the market to celebrate 40 years of flying on PC only to find that....uhh, it really isn’t just like the simulations. Who would have thought, eh? I’ve worn foggles once so far and my flying...

Hi there, I don’t know how far out you plan things like waiting lists and roster expansions but if you’re still around in 6-12 months I’d be interested. I just need to attend to the small details of finishing my PPL and getting my high performance rating. :D Just thought I’d wave and say hi as...
