My policy from Electric insurance would cover me except I have the plane in a LLC with 4 partners so it's excluded. If I was sole owner it would be covered

It's not the politics that has held up this change, it's that pesky physics thing. It's got to support the high compression engines which burn most of the 100LL

I think your biggest issue is your budget. Once again I will recommend that you consider a partnership so you can get more plane in your price range. Even one partner at that price point allows you to get into a very nice well equipped 182. It can be hard to find a good partner(s) but if you...

182P might be your best bet. P model can use mogas and it has the troll tune stc for extra payload.

The padlock is just one part of the security for your hanger. You certainly want a lock on the door but look at the whole thing and make sure the lock does not vastly exceed the rest of the security. Door hinges and lock hasps jump to the forefront here. Can someone get in over the wall from...

I read the article and thought it might be interesting until I got to the volunteer part.

come on it's a 182 useful load is not all that important ( yes I know it can be but for god's sake it's a flying truck )

First things first, I'm glad to hear your mother is recovering, I hope she fine very quickly. Now this may sound harsh but it's very real. That advice was spot on. If you want to be angry with someone, look in the mirror. If your mother can no longer make decisions for herself then it's on...

The pirates of the n40 are being bumped around due to the extension of the taxiway. We've been separated into N40 slots when we show up. Hoping to get back to a dedicated area this year.

My next plane ( right after I hit the lottery big :))

A little background, I fly out of a 2500 foot strip inside the SFRA in a 182. The B space extends about 10 miles from my home airport so I tend to fly low out of there. So here's the question: What your normal cruise altitude (AGL)? I tend to stay at 2500 or so if I'm going less then 50...

Jay I'll be arriving Saturday morning and with the change to group camping the Pirates will likely be in row 510 or so.

I learned at a 2500 foot strip with 500 foot displaced threshold that prohibited the TNG, however we could do a full stop and taxi back very quickly so it did not add a lot of time to the lesson. As a result of this I did not do many at all and now I just don't do them. I will do go arounds on...

Look here: https://www.lvfc.org/ It's a flight club based at KABE.

More important then the TBO is to note that the U egnine cannot run mogas while the earlier ones can.
