I still don't make good landings carl

Do flaps gap seals really add 2 mph?

We are all here to help you.

Hold on ,I know some IT guys in the Oakland area and they "sometimes" have to work, they are in locked rooms and stay in there for days on end. Really. So my guess is he is off line . carl

Oh heck those poor flight schools are probably thinking there is a bus load of students coming . I too called Attitude Aviation Livermore Airport 925 -456 -2276 I spoke to Rodger. 4/18/2016 @ 6:15 pm (eastern time ) He says they have changed up their format a bit and the big radial Texan is gone and all the aerobatic planes too. A Pitts will be returning in a few months. They are operating Cessna 172s and Pa 28s etc See the list TWINTER posted . They have several instructors who can work with you. They are “well-staffed” and can work around just about any schedule The 172 is about $129-$155 /hr wet, the difference is the avionics installed Well I'm thinking maybe I'll go out there to do my biannual and see the big red bridge. carl

somehow I think you are really not in financial management , except your own. BUSTED!

well with the change in the pricing then i would change my recommendation and say just keep on keepin on. but write in the flight club scheduling board SOLO MAY 12 . let everyone know . fly with any instructor .

Oh my, Milpitas is almost next door to Livermore. I would check it out. Bonel's a pilot! He knows.

Awesome , Looks like the blue dinning room in the White-house. Sam - good picture,my money is still on may 12 th as a solo day.

A troll someone using a fake identity. I understand now Sam , we are going to need pictures. Maybe in the pilot seat or with a famous personality. We all have to do this at one time or another .Here I am with the Parrot Wizard

Oh yeah, I say , he will solo May 12th

What is an internet troll ? I remember that one guy who wanted a airplane donated to his cause . Ok troll Someone looking for money or donation, troll Someone looking for emails to sell stuff too . troll Someone wants a ride for no reason . ??? maybe The Hollywood acting dogs ???? troll vs idk? Sammy has not crossed into these areas. He is a new beginning flyer , that just happened to find a Mooney Owners site where we are all STILL as enthusiastic as he is. Carl

I soloed in 40 hours , (that is soloed , not my licence) but i went whenever I accumulated enough money , that's the slow way so you redo stuff

so true , I learned in a rented 150, then into a rented 172, then bought the Grumman then my Mooney, my next step is my IR

Well this is what I think you should do. 1) buy a Cessna 180 tail dragger. ( tail draggers make better pilots) 2) hire a CFI to fly with you (on a cheaper per hour contract deal then through a FBO) and get your license and IR. 3) After you get you license you will probably want a different plane, so get another one. 4) sell the one you don't want. I'm on my second plane, I will list them; AA5 Grumman Mooney M20 E How about everyone listing the planes you own or have owned, in order. Not what you fly for work ( unless you own it ) cause those G -5 s make me cry. SAM, This is a popular post because we like to talk about planes. Carl

Damn ! I'm booking that flight !!!

yes but I found piloto I watched that post for a week ,with zero comments , I thought it was a classic , so I had to reply with something!

Have we considered the small jet.? I may have missed this question, Sam ,What is you occupation ? Carl

HA hA Yes , when I pull up to the self service pumps, they come out to make sure Im not stealing anything.

the duke vs a c 340 hmm. A friend of mines first plane was a c340. ( which I fly ,awesome) went to american flyers in fort lauderdale and hired them to teach him to fly it and get his multi engine , then his instrument , then his commercial . that was in the 1990s, he still flys it. and makes the statement "I never had to upgrade because I bought the best plane I could find" Get the plane you want , get the training & experience in your plane and life is good for me it would be an aero commander 500s , but i cant afford the single engine i have now.

Michael, Can I fly my E from Altoona to St Augustine non stop? with standard tanks ? 52 gal , 651 miles I know you can . carl

The Cessna 335 , a non pressurized 340. if you didn't want the pressurized deal . If you can afford it . You are right . its perfect.

here is a great idea . a small 10 gallon reserve tank , it could be located right between the front seats , if you run out of fuel you could switch to it and then land right away. It could be clear , maybe glass, so you could see how much was left, then when you ran out of fuel, instead of landing right away, maybe you could stretch it a little further as you watch the fuel level drop. zzzzzzzz sarcasm

something like $1500 get a salvaged one
