Was he sweating it? Or was it just hot?

Near 90* today. He probably did some perspiring when I announced that I've had enough of this shet, go fly the plane yourself. I got to film it for him so I was out in the sun sweating my arse off filming him.

Congrats to both of you, sounds like a good day

 

[Half Fast]

Congrats to you both! Which of you was more scared?

 

[mscard88]

Congrats to you both! Which of you was more scared?

Honestly neither of us. He was prepared and is a very quick learner. His mother couldn't make it though. She got her PPC when she was 17, her dad a Naval Aviator.

Lol ktup got the reference. I had a pair or white Vans in high school.

Oh yeah? I used to live in Jax. Maybe I’m your student’s daddy. What’s her name?

Just shows how bad he wanted to get away from you Mark.

What year is that Cherokee Mark?

'76, and just had the 160 hp conversion and a climb prop installed. Flys very well and climbs good.

Let me ask you something Tim. POH has nothing on min oil quantity, as well as the '69 Arrow's POH. Read somewhere it's 2 quarts. Been tellin students to go with 4 quarts. What ya think?

Can't blame 'em! Flys better without the dead weight in the right seat.

I've always considered 5 qts as minimum.
Was that you in the pic on Facebook?

My POH says 2 quarts minimum, but it sounds crazy to me, so like @BarryCooper i consider 5 minimum as well.

 

[Kansas Flyer]

I usually add a quart to our Cherokee when it gets down to 5 1/2.

 

[Timbeck2]

Mine says 2 quarts and an 8 quart fill. But it spits out anything over 5 1/2 so that's where I keep it.

Congrats to both of you.

Maybe a new fly-in member...
Does he like bourbon?
Guitars?
Celine?
