Casa Grande in the south has the best gas prices. I've also used Glendale, Deer Valley, Chandler and Scottsdale and agree with the above comments. And yes it gets hot enough to melt the rubber of the rims in the summer but is really nice other times. Joe

For me the trick was to land with the center line between my legs (like you do in most round engine taildraggers). Once I got the yaw picture (by looking far enough down the runway) I could move it to between the seats. Joe

I used the King VHS tapes for my private. Frankly, I'd rather listen to my wife lecture for 14 hrs on how to properly load the dishwasher, than go through that again. But as Ghery said it really personal preference. I found the King course went through the exact same material in the Cessna...

Your sick. Joe ps. loved it

Woo-hoo

Hmm, the curse filter is even pickier than my mother.

This is from my other sister: Will I Live to see 80? Here's something to think about. I recently picked a new primary care doctor.After two visits and exhaustive Lab tests, he said I was doing 'fairly well' for my age. (I just turned 60..) A little concerned about that comment, I couldn't...

Another thing that degrades in sunlight is the plexiglass windows.
