i reached out awhile back and it was sold

This one kinda surprising as one of the new “faces” of AOPA and Baker leaving

where are you located, i'm going through the same thing and have a shop willing to do the work

Insurance on the bristell when i was a newer pilot <250 hrs was 5k/yr for 200k hull, the newer ones are 300k so i'd expect higher unless you have more hours. I currently pay 3400

I am, love the speeds and maybe one day it would be a good plane but I'm also not holding my breath on mosiac passing soon enough. The Bristell has a similar plane to compete with the faster Sparker, etc. Mine is an NG5 speed rated at 120 for LSA, but I've seen them with 915 pushing much...

. Its kinda fun watching someone so crotchety be so wrong I take it he’s had on bad experience and his mind doesn’t accept anything else.

Try again Why does my seat need to move when my rudder peddles are adjustable? My seats aren’t held by straps. Why does burping the engine even make you’re a$$ chap? I’m inspecting the prop and it’s the design of the engine. Part of a normal precheck. I don’t know about anyone else, but...

What do you have?

I do both, I’ll take the occasional trips pack light but often is 100NM for a Saturday lunch or bfast. Occasionally a longer trip when it suits. It fits my mission for now. And for me, I have the latest in Avoinics, a 2016 aircraft built with newer and lighter materials. When I want to do...

This is a very accurate statement. I don’t think he’s a bad guy, just too much of a politician. I’d do it for 1/2 that salary if anyone wants to nominate me

Pretty sure the captain salary is off by 40% now too It’s less about what he makes and make about their lack of ability to really drive more tangible results with the war chest and resources they now just seem to enjoy

Is this Mark Bakers account? Most of us would probably pass on that i think this is my biggest issue.

I’m anxious to try the VL3 for this reason. 180 knots cruise with the 915 and Mosiac. With a 912 I’m not sure! The Bristell is a redesigned sportcruiser from the same designer. Just better bit and finish, price tag and more speed.

Typically I run at 5200 rpm and burn 6GPH doing 115-117 knots. I have a friend that has a turbo 206 and I guarantee that is louder than the rotax on takeoff. I like that my avionics are very modern dual panel glass and I spent much less yearly that most at the airport flying 40 yr old...
