    1946 Luscombe 8A

    Luscombes are great little airplanes and relatively cheap time builders. I love mine, despite its faults. The “gotchas” are finding replacement engine parts. They are really antiques. My annuals have run $500-$1200, depending upon what needs service/repair. Mine has the mogas STC so hourly costs...

    Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon

    Two for me, thanks to movie scenes filmed nearby. Can’t recall which movie.

    [POLL] Have you felt sick or tested positive for COVID since Jan 2020?

    I’m at home this week with the latest variant, my wife also. Flu-like symptoms for us. First two days were the worst. We managed to avoid it for almost three years, but got it from family at Thanksgiving!

    Why are Bonanzas so cheap?

    Agree with @GeorgeC. Try finding new parts for a Continental 65!

    Should I bother with sport license if I can't buy a plane?

    I went sport rather than PPL. Glad I did.

    Got tagged, but I’m out of commission for a while, and the Luscombe is out of annual.

    Pik 'n Pig update [pics]

    You notice those upslope trees more closely in a 65HP taildragger... Next time I’m departing downslope, tailwind or no!

    Tesla Model 3 - Finally.

    Well, SC tacked on a $100 hybrid fee to my Prius registration every year I owned it. Plus I was paying gas taxes to boot. “They” get their tax revenues one way or another. Can’t wait to see what they tack on to my Volt. At least I can drive it more on battery.

    Tell me about older Bonanza's

    I don’t know for a fact, but I seem to recall there was an A&D issued for the v-tail models that covered the elevon flutter problem. Perhaps someone more knowledgeable will chime in. Most of the lower priced models probably have electric props, which IIRC can be difficult to service.
