    Light Sport Experimental for "big boys"?

    Sweet lineup? I'll send this to the guys for ideas. I'll see if they might want to join POA too - although I hope I don't offend on the post title ... gulp!

    Light Sport Experimental for "big boys"?

    Wow! Prayers.. I had my own reason to solicit doctor Bruce’s services last year. Sure makes me think about joining these guys in a partnership. At 200 pounds, they would call me tiny... Nobody over 7 foot. Just southern eating...

    Light Sport Experimental for "big boys"?

    I’ve heard of them, but never seen one for reals. The guys are talking about a powered paraglider - at least that is what I think it is. It would only take one, but would get them in the air.

    Should I be scared of airplane ownership

    Ex ARMY guy here (are there any services?) - From 2005 to 2013 I rented with the thought that owning an airplane was the most stupid thing you could do with hard cash. Well, I was correct, but that is beside the point. For now, rent. Rent until you decide you just might punch the next person...

    Near Miss with Drone

    I had a drone pass within a few hundred feet of me just south of the Dallas Class B. This week I just got back the NASA report with a little hand written "thank you" in red ink at the top. I believe there are a few in the alphabet groups that are looking for a fish to filet in public. This might...

    If Meat Eaters Acted Like Vegans......

    Walking (or exercise of some reasonable kind) is huge. But don't kid yourself - food is a big deal. My step brother is a good example. Likely the fittest of all of us. But the midwestern diet, smoking and bad genetics lined up to a bad deal.

    If Meat Eaters Acted Like Vegans......

    Hmm - well, my wife is vegetarian - nearly vegan. I poke fun at her sometimes, especially when we go to "vegan dinners" (usually something about having a carrot, medium rare). The dinners really are interesting as most other food out there is made cheaply to maximize company profits - although...

    Light Sport Experimental for "big boys"?

    Three guys, actually. One was a pilot in and the others are prospective pilots. For mild medical reasons, none of the three are able to get a 3rd class at this time. The RV is easy to get the nod- but that Bush cat has me interested- as a float plane.

    Light Sport Experimental for "big boys"?

    I forgot about the RV12. We had one show up a year or so ago - looked pretty nice! Hmm - lots of RV experience around here - one airport over from me ...

    Light Sport Experimental for "big boys"?

    Hmm - let me dig into that one. Speed isn't the issue. The issue are some guys that want to build and can't get a 3rd class medical. So - light sport it is.

    Light Sport Experimental for "big boys"?

    Long complicated reasoning here that won't add up if I posted it. But, educate me on the experimental aircraft kits available that can be flown buy guys 250 pounds or lighter. That is, are there any where 2 250 pound good old boys can fly without using 10,000' of runway for takeoff.. This would...

    For Sale 1948 Navion $8500 Disassembled

    A local guy has restored (actually disassembled and essentially rebuilt) three Navions that I’m aware of. Of course, you could just upgrade the E225 to a 520. The 100MPH gear speed is a pain though.
