Now I went and did it.

[Olda&pjon]

Couldn't just leave well enough alone and just work on them. Decided to ignore all my rational thinking and throw reason and caution out the window and buy the aircraft. Such a wonderful idea, in just 18 hours of ownership I need a starter, oh joy. Oh I know. Things are going to get worse,,oops, I meant better.

 

[Sac Arrow]

Just do it dude. Yep.

 

[Darwin60]

It is worth it. Congrats

 

[Initial Fix]

Welcome to the world of plane ownership

 

[NealRomeoGolf]

Looks like it needs a prop too. Welcome to the funny farm.

 

[steingar]

What I've been telling potential partners. If you own a airplane you have to be ready to write big checks. Just how it is.

 

[Rgbeard]

You don’t need a starter if you hand-prop it….

oh……


And, welcome!

 

[somorris]

Whee!

 

[idahoflier]

At least you can work on it!

 

[Whitney]

Congratulations on ownership!

No matter how big the bills get, owning is worth it.

 

[Eric Brunelle]

Vacations aren't investments, either. Welcome!

 

[a572mike]

It's only money...

 

[Howard Wilson]

Getting it rebuilt might be cheaper than buying a new one....

 

[Olda&pjon]

You guys are right, after a good annual, some modern radios, and some pointers from my pilot friends, this will be wearth every penny,

 

[texasclouds]

Nice lookin Cezna

 

[Half Fast]

Just push-start it.

 

[Rgbeard]

Some of y’all haven’t pushed a plane, while in 3rd gear, downhill, and popped the clutch. And it shows.

 

[Olda&pjon]

The main reason for the aircraft is my twins, who both have their eyes to the sky. Paying for lessons was kicking me butt, so at least now there cfi is far cheaper and we actually own it. Khloe has 35 hours at age 14, maddox actually likes working on aircraft more then flying. They grew up in the hanger helping me with aircraft.

 

[texasclouds]

Lucky dad!

 

[Terry M - 3CK (Chicago)]

Cherokee 140? Congrats.

You're an A&P but not yet a pilot? I hope you will take lessons too.

Awesome adventure ahead!

 

[Timbeck2]

Another Cherokee owner! Welcome to da club.

 

[frfly172]

Find a friend to hand prop it for you. Gongrats , enjoy.

 

[Let'sgoflying!]
