Nice, I've admired that plane for a long time. It'd be fun to hear a pirep on that bird sometime.

Cool. In the Sunbird?

Yeah, there are times I had a big hunk of metal up there:) I was still fairly new to the Pitts when I installed the Catto so I hadn't tried much in the way of gyroscopics with the metal prop. I bought my Catto from Sammy Mason who was selling because he wanted more gyro effect. IIRC, he said...

This is very true. I use a digital co detector in the Pitts on every flight. The co levels are very noticeably higher when the mixture is rich. I believe every pilot should use a REAL co detector. I put one of those card ones in the tail pipe of my truck. Never did see it change color. My...

Another friend gone too soon. This is such a shock. I will miss seeing Andrew and his Giles at the contests here in Texas. Condolences to his family. http://youtu.be/h8zTt-QZAR0

I think Four Winds still has N330MS for dual at Aero Country.

I am a member of CFO, but didn't realize they have a mail forum. How do I access it. Can't find any info on their site or google. This checkout is for insurance. They require the check out to be in make and model.

I'm looking for a CFI that is current in 177 RGs for a checkout in the Des Moine, IA area.

I need to get a prebuy done on an aircraft in Des Moines. Does anyone have a good recommendation? I would prefer to use an IA.

Probably one of the sadest days of my life today. Just delivered her to the new owner. :sad: What an awesome plane.
