  1. Price it as run-out, if he bites , get it annualled, make sure there are NO airframe corrosion issues and AD's are good. Corrosion is the killer, everything else can be fixed. fly it till the engine goes then rebuild. win/win
  2. Try Garmin pilot, runs on both android and apple and has about 90% the same features. andoid version is missing 1 or 2 things. that'll let you taste without having to buy an apple device.
  3. man, guess gravity works differently on the other side of the world 8)
  4. Amazon.com | Gonex Canvas Duffle Bag for Travel, 60L Duffel Overnight Weekend Bag (Dark Gray) | Travel Duffels
  5. xcountry, > 1hr , i find ifr easiest, esp on severe clear vfr days.
  6. I'm really leaning toward a super scuff and paint, don't like the idea of using chemical strippers on Birdy. really don't care about the extra 5 to 10lbs the paint will add. thinking about trying CO2 blasting.
  7. a used hsi is only slighly cheaper than a g5, good deal cheaper than a gi-275. install probably about the same, i'd just bite the bullet. I believe with a g5/gi275/md200/gi106, you won't need an annunciator as long as the radio and cdi are in your field of vision. gnc 300xl is fine, only thing you're losing is lpv approaches. installing gps anything except for maybe a gns175 gets super expensive really fast. labor is just crazy.
  8. i'n america? truth, morals and honesty are soo 20 years ago
  9. I'm planning the same, soon as I finish adding all the lasar mods.
  10. mine does the same, repair shop said to just ignore it. please post when you come up with a fix
  11. hehe, it's over between mcdonalds and geico, nothing is safe. GEICO fights woman's claim for contracting HPV after having sex in customer's car - Washington Times
  12. No, Never, when stuck on a plane, it's almost the most horrid thing you can do to a person
  13. smh
  14. just ran across this today on spruce : AirLite Digital Aircraft Radio Receiver | Aircraft Spruce
  15. everyone knows the quadrant is better
  16. NOPE, should def go on a short body first, specifically a 1974 m20e
  17. if true, which is suspect, i'm still in. sounds perfect to replace the brittain without costing more of a fortune
  18. fingers crossed, this might also be my first year. camping gear is already packed and waiting in the hangar
  19. just a thought, does that mean that maybe hooks will take a bit of govt money? would love a 20yr guarantee for that place. i'm scared one day the family will get an offer they can't refuse
  20. If anything like auto insurance, they will then turn around and raise your rates
  21. newer owner here, why isn't the airport covering the dmg? you'd think a hangar collapsing wouldn't be my fault. admitted, i haven't really read all the details of my policy or lease
  22. man, totally forgot about patches. think i'm gonna add a kit to the plane
  23. I noticed after reading the actual bulletin, following published leaning proc, I'd be pretty far LOP.
  24. nose wheel is easy. buy a tube and tire, find a jack, change it on the ramp. should be able to find someone to fly you to the plane for hamburger funds. maybe clean and grease the bearings while you're at it. if necc, get instructions from a mechanic. oh yeah, you'll need the correct size wrench and a "cotter?" pin. get the wrench size and correct pin from a mechanic just in case : Answers for Pilots: Preventive Maintenance - AOPA
