Exactly, When a group of volunteers managed the airport under contract they got the airport to run cash flow positive from Hangar Rent and Fuel sales for a few years. Problem was there was not enough reserves to maintain big dollar infrastructure items, and it was thought if the township took...

Ed, Do you mean Dick Yutendale? how did you meet him?

Just found out that park township put it on their agenda to vote on the fate of the airport tonight September 30 at 6:30 at Harderwyk Church, 1627 W. Lakewood Boulevard, Holland, Michigan 49464. I was under the impression it was just a vote to either move forward with an "Airpark plan" but they...

Ok Ed This might be a little strange or even unconventional in thinking but I have had this happen in 3 different airplanes including my current new one (to me). I will be flying along and one out of 5 flights (cross country over a few hours) my radios do the same thing, or they just go quiet...

Wash & Wax spray after every landing, takes less than 5 minutes and the bugs just wipe right off after using it a few times.

Yes, I went from champion massives to tempest fine wires and noticed about 10-15 Deg C drop on CHTS. What I cannot tell you is if it was due to 30% of the champions having excessive resistance and now I can run smoother further LOP which equates to the cooler CHT or if it was just the better...

I rented both a Grumman tiger and cheetah for a few years before buying my plane. The cheetah goes for $115 wet and tiger was $125wet (garmin 430/Stec30 AP stormscope ect)

Welcome to west Michigan, you will like KBIV, nice easy IFR in out and winds usually are down the runway 80% of the time. I live in Holland and am Based out of Zeeland (Z98), I will PM you my contact info.

What is that hinged door on your gill plate? Can it be opened separately like the cowl flap? Interesting.....Haven't seen that before. Although I guess its not a gill plate if it doesn't have the gill slots???

Just landed there on Saturday and struck up a conversation with the guy behind the desk about oshkosh. He mentioned they put up a temporary tower there to handle traffic and also bring in temporary showers and bathrooms for the planes that line up and camp there due to not wanting to do the Fisk...

Or my bonanza.......But a heck of a lot more fun to fly....Best bang for the buck airplane in my humble, non solicited opinion.

My BP was in your range and I tried the Beta Blockers, it was a no go for me. So I researched and tried many things. The one thing that worked for me (and a few others since) is being vehement about making sure your potassium intake is 2x your sodium intake. IE: 2300mg / day sodium = 4600mg /...

After thinking about this (and seeing your picture) if you are looking for comfort the SR22 or Rockwell Commander 114 may fit the bill. When i was trying out different planes, These two stood out and planes for "Big People" ( my wife and I are "Little people at 5'7" and barley over 320lb...

I think you are selling yourself short. If you accept something a little older than 1983 With a budget of $150k you could be in a decent Cessna 210, really nice 182 or get over the misguided fear of the bonanza and look at some really nice F33's or decent A36's in that price range. Yes the...

I would land, get fuel and check to see if there has been any weather trend. (IE: Are forecast ceilings going up or down?) If there is comfortable clearance to go under the 5k ceiling (IE not crossing mountains at 4500ft) then I would take this route. This is typical flying IFR up in Michigan...
