I had exactly this happen to me at our untowered airport a few days ago. When the pilot (also in a Cherokee) announced he was taking the runway, I was just turning base to final. I had been calling my pattern all along on the radio too. Either way, I informed him (just in case he missed...

2019 RV12 ELSA. Dynon Skyview HDX and Full Autopilot controls. Work on wheel pants has begun.

Still have Sierra’s? And David Clark One X’s?

Yep - as mentioned, I'm not going to go nuts unless something really obvious pops at pre-buy. The price is right (to me at least and that's what matters). I definitely won't pull a cylinder. I will have the oil analysis done as they've at least been consistently doing that so we'll be able to...

Yep - that'll be part of the deal for sure

As could I, 'barely'.... Obviously, that's a lot of AVGas :)

Yep - it's that 50/50 part that has me scratching my head.. Feel like the guy on the other side of Clint Eastwood...."Do you feel lucky?"

I'm certainly leaning towards going for it. I'll likely put around 80hrs+ year.

I'm seriously considering purchasing a 1970 Piper Cherokee 180E located nearby. It's low airframe time at around 3200hrs. Engine is only 351 hrs SMOH (2005)and 87 STOH. New cylinders were put on 3 years ago to satisfy ECI AD. Airplane has been hangared in midwest (Iowa, Illinois, Ohio) for...

Hello all, I recently sold my very nice 152 and am in the market for a faster xc-machine. A friend of mine gave me a ride in his Cheetah a few weeks ago and that was that... Here's what I'm looking for: 1. Low AFTT and < mid time on Engine SMOH (overhaul fairly recent calendar wise too). 2...

I'll pile on. I love it. Very comfortable and light weight. Like GRG55 though, I'm pretty much a fan of DC and only have it to compare to the DC 13.4's that I replaced. Those are now for PAX.

45hrs, 1996. Went every day weather & schedules allowed between 6/1 and 7/25. Flew for about 20 more hours then went dormant for 20 years with family, kids, etc. Started back up about 2 years ago and bought a 152 last month. Flying couple days a week again and loving every minute of...

I totally get it, but I suspect FAA won't give on this anytime soon-ish. The fact is that ipads and Android devices are consumer device and can/do overheat/batteries die or just crap out. While they're great and I use them all the time in the cockpit, they're still consumer grade electronics...

I'll take a crack at your questions: Garmin GTX345 - Yes, it has AHRS. It's pretty much the best/most expensive/most featured ADS-B Out Transponder combo (except maybe Lynx L3). ADS-B In compatible via Bluetooth with both Foreflight and Garmin Pilot. I think 2 external device max. Audio...

Interesting. Would be nice to have a GDL-50 if ForeFlight supported it too.
