Thanks guys, I'll ping Boris.

Checking in, almost 4 years later... Might be in the market for a C. Would like to hook up with a CFI in the Phoenix area for 10 or so hours of dual. DM me with your details, rates, etc.

Thanks for the updates. I've bought into a partnership in a Cherokee 180. Fly safe, everyone.

Frank at Chandler Aviation sent me this article yesterday when we were discussing the ground-bound C that I had been looking at (he's the one who did the pre on the '64). That E has been on TAP for a while, and I had inquired about it. Funny how they forgot to mention its terrible condition in the ad. It's enough to make you despair of human nature.

He's finishing his RV-7 build and starting a -10, is the only reason I can think of that he's holding out for so much.

I emailed the shop that I had lined up to tell them the deal was off. Boss said he was gonna wander over to it to see for himself.

I offered $5k contingent on limited pre-buy (corrosion and logs, they can't go any deeper in its current condition). Rejected instantly. On the one hand, kind of relieved. On the other, .

88N's cables are all there, amazingly. I do wish I could swap the mixture and prop around to the right positions though.

Sensitivity, along with a raft of other previously-working features, was broken in the 17 September update. There's supposed to be another patch next week. Program has been out for five weeks, and already has three patches. It's not even in beta; it should never have been published.

1. Pull the engine and stack (especially the 430) 2. Sell the stripped hulk for scrap 3. ??? 4. PROFIT!

Could be. The 155s look like late-90s vintage, the 76 looks about the same. The six-pack is a definite plus, everything is where I expect it to be.

Negative, I didn't pull any panels. This was more an enhanced walkaround/preflight.

My non-aviation-related $0.02: You want the firmest possible cushion. Softer means your sitbones will press through the foam and come to rest on the seat pan. My Vulcan 900 has a very firm Mustang seat and I can ride it all day. The squishy OEM seat, I'm squirming after an hour.

I have 62 hours logged (probably closer to 80 actual, but logging is broken) in MSFS2020, mostly in the steam Skyhawk. Is it pretty? Absolutely. Is it also horribly unreliable, inaccurate, and lacking in authenticity? Also absolutely. Asobo appears to have not involved any actual aviators in development and QA.

As much as I would love to do a full resto and update (and you betta believe I have a very detailed wish list), right now I'm OK with just getting it legal, safe, and airborne, and doing the cosmetics as and when I can.
