This one flies in Oz, Callsign "Rowe UFO, 10-8675" You have to be really bored to build such thing In terms of flying, spinning is not an issue Edited February 3, 2020 by Ibra 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0TreeLemur Posted February 4, 2020 Report Share Posted February 4, 2020 On the way to Antarctica from New Zealand in a C-17 a few years ago. The view from the cockpit is amazing. From the back, not so hot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aaronk25 Posted February 8, 2020 Report Share Posted February 8, 2020 I fly a boat when I’m not in the Mooney.....but hey is got “twins” at 210hp a side. Each one of the boat engines is similar in HP to the m20j. The 201 turns 142ish Kts on 8gph, the 10,000lb searay runs about 25kts.....on 8gph........oh wait, there is 2 engines turning on the boat to go 25kts, correction 16 gallons per hour to go 25kts.......But .....hey I can have a drink on the boat .Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rainman Posted February 8, 2020 Report Share Posted February 8, 2020 I fly this AutoGyro Calidus. It’s a blast. ADS-B in/out, Dynon Skyview . If I’m not in a hurry, and flying solo less than a couple hundred miles VFR it’s my usual ride. It’s a tandem two seater so my brother can fly with me. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

State law says you must own a boat so that you can use it on that week they call summer . . lol (I can say that since I grew up in MN.

Solo it takes about 300 ft to break ground, double that with a passenger or to clear 50 ft obstacle. 0-20 ft rolls on landing are pretty common. Remember, no vertical take offs, no hovering, no negative G maneuvers. Great for that solo burger mission! Ray 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Battle Creek does amazing work. Best work I’ve seen out of any shop. Currently flying a really nice Falcon 50EX also Director of maintenance. -Matt Yes, very interesting. If the G-IV isn't being flown on charter or family trips it means that 4-8 grown adults don't get the "pleasure" of sitting in the small couch seats.
