Where did you get the info on 13W? Any pics of this aircraft or location? Just curious.

What would I need to add to make it IFR capable? Just asking...

Thank you so much for the insight. Love the interior wall panel color. I have no idea how I ended up with a blue interior and orange paint job. Assuming the plane was originally blue as I believe these generally matched. Thanks again.

When I am spending thousands of dollars a month at a FBO as a student or renter or anything else, and I get bumped because my CFI has to give a tour in our rental craft to a couple of people who will never patronize their business, it is slightly annoying. I am sure the revenue received from...

Just checked my flight school and of course it has sold over 1000 Groupon discovery flights at $99/each. And we wonder why we cannot book our pilots on-time, why reservations are always taken up with nonsense, and the rental fleet is beat to h3ll and back. Honestly, my CFI and I have had to...

Solo? He should already have his CFII. :-P

That's nothing. On the 2nd flight, you get to drop flour bombs with Grandpa while on the way to the county fair! ;)

I thought it was more millenial than this..... Grab phone, Unbuckle, Make funny sounds on Radio, Prepare for cool Selfies, Smile.

As a student, I do not understand the inherent value of the CHT gauge and selector? Is this for determining proper fuel mixture? Can you shed some light on the reasoning and usage for this?

I thought that too. What would you move where?

How much did this cost to buy and have installed? What is that 4-position piece at the bottom of my stack? Would the 696 fit in my setup? Does it bring me any closer to ADS-B compliance?

I am a student pilot with 50 hours and nearing my solo and should have my PPL by years end. (This is over a long period of time --- mostly TW aircraft first 30 hours and 20 hours on PA-28 models over the last couple of months) To this end, I was considering a rather nominal investment into a...

Did you ever solo?

:D
