Just book your exams for three different days, at the testing center they can "pull in" the exam from the later dates as long as it is not more than 2 days out. I just did this earlier this week. You can also reschedule the exam on the day that you take the exam BUT they will charge you again...

Thanks!

My question is, may I fly in IMC in an IFR capable LSA?

Well! The owner has decided he doesn’t want to make the deal after all, feels that he can get twice the price all of a sudden so I’m out! On to the next one! It looks like it might be titled how crazy is buying a 59 year old 210 :)

Thanks for all the insight, thought and feedback. Trying to make this deal happen this week and post about the result :)

1. Not an A&P myself but I work well with others ;) 2. Barnstormers? Salvage? 3. Its a project with a little time and effort almost anything I can be fixed

Price, how so?

I appreciate all the feed back! I am looking for a fun project, a learning experience, a way to get my hands on something that I can't F up too much, something that flies, something I can have some fun with.

It runs, flies, guy put like $5k into the annual, decent compression on the cylinders, oil pressure is a bit off. Some corrosion was fixed last year during the annual, it flew about 75 hours this past year. Paint is ok, interior needs help. Panel is ‘original’.

Lots, but nothing that I know so far that prevents it from flying for another 6-12 months, don’t park it on a hill, no need to do VOR checks, gotta find a compass somewhere or use the sun...

Nope, just went to the Wilson airport in Nairobi and asked around until I found someone to fly with :)

I can buy a 60 year old 172 that just passed its anual for about $8k... barely any logs, still lots wrong with it but it runs and flies... Talk me out of it or into it...

Flying with a friendly CFI in Kenya, leveling of at about 300 ft after takeoff to checkout an elephant, what a blast flying around Kenya was!
