Airnav.com says 54M has gas... Definitely a call before you show sort of place

Chog I spent 4 years at Elmendorf (2000-2004) and bought a Super Cub while I was there. I loved it and it changed the way i think about aviation. So I hope you enjoy it like I did. I tried Six...

Aviation consumer had a comparison of budget ANR a while back and their favorite was the Lightspeed Sierra. I tried on the A20 at Oshkosh and it was amazing but I have a hard time dropping $1000+ on...

Glad to hear it and I hope to visit soon. I met you all last summer at NH and seems like the community is lucky to have you all.

No. I'd think that it would tear up the props plus anything on the belly (lights, antennas, etc) and would significantly hamper engine life if it got in the intakes.

Plus most guys that fly a...

I have been an Avemco customer since 2001. This year at Oshkosh I priced several other insurers, all of whom were cheaper by several hundred bucks a year than Avemco. But I am staying with Avemco...

Kenny Blalock's son Merrel did my annual in 2007 and he does fabric. At that time he was based at the southwest end of the Arkavalley strip (12A) near Greenbrier Arkansas. I googled his name and it...

Looks like a couple landings I've had in my 180 when I tried to land 3-point with too much speed. Lucky for me I was either able to keep things pointed the right way or I went around.

Here's what I keep in my kit. This works OK for me in the midwest but I'd augment it with more robust camping gear if I was headed somewhere far off the beaten path. In addition I have a 406 MHZ...

SB, I don't know what Beegle's used to take the old stuff off the interior but based on these two pictures I think they only did it on the lower portions of the fuselage since I decided to install a...

Ruffair, the flooring Beegle's put in is Lonseal Nebula Milky Way. Google it and you can find all the info you need. It weighs 81 oz a square yard so I estimate I've got 15 or 20 pounds of it on my...

Ruffair,
I don't know how much the floor mats weigh. But they provide more traction than the floor alone would provide unless I glued down some non-stick surface. I didn't...

Well I got my plane back. Boy do I like it. That's a good thing because I'll be keeping it for a while.

I went to Beegles to get the following mods:
-- 3190 GW kit
-- PPonk Gear Beefup kit
--...

Apparently I did say that...

Randy, I was thinking the other day about how people like variety in life except that once we get married we are no longer allowed to have variety. Don't get me wrong -- I love my wife as much as...

That's it. Cessna is calling the airplane the 182 JT-A, and once they start selling that they won't sell the turbo avgas model any more.

There's alot of naysaying going on here. I'm not saying...

I have no data on how much Continental might want for their TD-300. The new 182 with the diesel engine is $35K more than one with a traditional turbocharged engine. Even if the upfront cost is...

SB: AOPA Pilot says the diesel installation in the 182 is 12-15 lbs heavier than the Lycoming mill it replaced. The lower fuel flows that are mentioned in the article more than make up for that...

Anybody have any experience running a Diesel engine on a 180?

i've read a couple interesting articles lately on the new diesel-powered 182 and I like what I hear. I also saw at Oshkosh this...

I lived in Little Rock for 4 years. I kept my plane at Country Air (1AR9). It is a good air park with 2 grass runways. Another place to consider is Punkin Patch south of KLIT just outside the...

Tom, I'm flying in to Oshkosh Sunday and then coming over to NH either Tuesday evening or Wednesday morning. Same thing I did in 2007. Two days at Oshkosh is about right for me.

I kept a cub outside in Alaska for a few winters. Covers plus a push broom to get the snow off work pretty well. You'll also have to preheat which you could do electrically via a Reiff or Tanis...

I don't understand this accident, assuming that everything in the NTSB report is correct.

Often I read accident reports and I think "that could happen to me." And I have read or heard about many...

Came out today that 4 of them died in the crash. They left 9 kids and 4 wives behind. One was a buddy of mine. We were stationed together in Arkansas.

RIP brothers. :flag

Thanks for all the tips. Keep 'em coming. My wife has never been to Minnesota (neither have I for that matter) and she looks at me funny when I mention it. But she usually likes places I pick...
