I bought my Debonair knowing that I love Beechcraft airplanes, they are more substantial feeling than most others and handle better (opinion obviously). A buddy has a super viking that's a great flying plane as well, if you have a hangar it's worth the consideration, a bit different handling...

Lots of A&P's don't work on piston engines so not that odd. And under 75k is not that hard depending on what he's looking for from an avionics perspective. Plenty of solid airframes out there for 75 or less. Hell this one here has decent avionics and a 320SMOH engine...

So when's the hearing?

If your lease states otherwise and is a binding contract.....

It's my opinion that if you don't know the material having extra time isn't going to help. Spending 120 minutes staring at a question you don't know the answer to isn't going to change that. There are some types of tests where having the time to try multiple approaches to solving a problem is...

I'll jump on the bandwagon of being really frustrated by tipping people to do their normal paying jobs. We tip wait staff at real restaurants because they make 2 bucks an hour plus tips. The one that bugs me the most is food trucks. You're the owner of your business, set your prices according...

Hmm, I've only flown in a few but always found them plenty roomy at least as big as my debonair if not roomier. I'm not a big guy though but one of the Viking guys i know is a very big dude with no issues. I would never have considered it too small for anyone

If anyone wants to throw me some ideas I can then pass off as my own and make money with I'm here too.

Awesome! It's just crazy how low powell is.

just mount the winch to the back of the plane and put a tiedown point in the back hangar wall. You may need a 337 :D

GAMI is god and the government is always right. :D From voicing my opinion on this topic on BT and here this is what I have found to be the prevailing opinion.

An aviation mod can be patented can it not?

Yes you will.

I suppose It's just a difference of opinion on the correct business move to make. I'm well aware of all the testing and money spent on G100UL. My point in pointing that out is that Peterson has no product to sell, just the STC so that's what they use to offset their cost. Gami has a product to...

I'm well aware. Not looking to rehash this argument it's been beaten to death, apologies for bringing it up :D. (Cliff notes on my stance: recoup costs and profit from licensing to producters, not the STC. They are doing both.) I've read the story of the Phillips XCII. So what changed between...

For a drop in fuel replacement? I think not. I'm not saying the whole STC process is bad (it is and isn't depending on case IMO) but for a drop in fuel replacement I don't agree that it's a necessary thing to do. Every piston engine out there can use G100L the same 100LL. There's no reason to...

Welcome to FAA Land. Soon enough you'll need another STC for G100UL which is completely miscible and virtually identical performance wise to the 100ll you use now. Bureaucracy is fun.

I use Mogas in My Debonair (IO470K). Petersen STC is just a paperwork exercise in my airframe, no modifications. I switch back and forth and intermix mogas with 100ll all the time. No worries. https://www.autofuelstc.com/

I just tell them my plane costs half as much as my boat. Somehow doesn't make it any less awkward :(

Freaking magneto bushing. Damn.
