    Beautiful, Fast Vans RV-6 Slider - Must Sell

    No airplane for a while. Four implants and a complete cosmetic dental full mouth rejuvenation from http://starimagedentistry.com/ is what's replacing my airplane. I'll still have a plane to fly and stay current though... I helped build this one, and the owner has kept me on the insurance and...

    Rant: Is Dentistry Going Backwards?

    I'm about to get several implants to replace a couple bridges that have been in my mouth for nearly 40 years. Also getting a complete cosmetic full mouth rebuild. My OMF surgeon also happens to be my best friend in real life so I'm getting an extra special deal on the implant work :). The cost...

    High DA Airports in Cherokee 140

    I understand. I had to fly my Cherokee for many years before I could afford to upgrade. It taught me a lot about flying airplanes too. I put nearly 800 hours on it over 10 years.

    High DA Airports in Cherokee 140

    They will not help the takeoff/climb performance. What they do is make the wing much less wishy-washy feeling at low, near stall airspeeds, and they give you a bit more top end cruise too. I've flown cherokees with both Hoerner tips, and factory original rounded tips, and the Hoerner tips...

    High DA Airports in Cherokee 140

    I owned and flew a Cherokee 140 for a decade and know the plane well. Don't do it unless you like the idea of burning to death in a crumpled ball of aluminum somewhere off the departure end of the runway. With density altitude of 9000' on a hot day, I'd want 6500' of runway minimum and a good...

    Must sell my beautiful RV-6 :-(

    Actually I never really changed the pitch since I found the happy place with it. Being ground adjustable is not so much for making frequent adjustments on an RV as it is for fine-tuning the prop pitch to match the engine, airframe, and general field elevation range of the airports you typically...

    Wow, that's my freakin' airplane!

    Straight tail Cessnas fly nicer than the swept tail ones. I've got a bunch of hours in both.

    Bullying

    Hmmm, I bought a Mossberg bolt-action shotgun from my next-door neighbor when I was in 7th, with money I'd been saving from doing odd jobs. It's a .410 that takes 3" magnum shells, holds 2 in the internal mag plus one in the pipe, and has a very tight full choke. I loved it then and I still have...

    Must sell my beautiful RV-6 :-(

    She's a little faster than 160 kts. 160 would be at lower power settings. At full throttle, altitude 7500-8500' MSL and almost 2700 rpm, I'd usually see 195, sometimes even 200 mph TAS, which is like 168-170 kts. On a cool day in smooth air at 6500 msl, I've even been able to bump up close to...
