I have owned mine for over 6 years and concur with Barb's statements. It is a great low cost aircraft to own and operate and will go where you want. It always get's lot's of attention where it goes. Replacement of fabric is not done very often due to the great materials out on the market...

The nomex material does not ratiate the heat through the material thus your skin does not burn. Someone said there is material better than nomex and I am wondering what that might be? I agree halon is a great fire extinguisher but must be used in a area that has good ventilation or you could...

As I recall nomex will withstand 800 degree's F for over 90 seconds before it even begins to char. So what out there is better than that?

Try to get a hold of the Short Wing Piper Club Chapter there. To find a point of contact look up the National SWAP on the internet and get the chapter presidents infor. They have a great organization up there and are very active. They sould be able to point you to a nice Pacer or like type of...

The pilots that I have refered to I would dare say most if not all of them had not only knowledge, experience and skills that far out weight both yours and mine put together but they still did not survive that one situation that they found themselves in because they thought they could save the...

You know I have been reading this thread for several days as all of you go back and forth. Your last "IOW" comment takes the cake and now I just have to comment about it. I have not seen anyone berating anyone here but just putting there 2 cents in. As a USAF Survival, Evasion, Resistance, and...

All of the RV's of Vans hold there value very well if you do a good job building them. If you do a very, very good job building one they sure do command a good price. And yes you can make them IFR. Good luck.

Yes I have what do you want to know?

Depends on who owns your hanger. Check you contract.

I have owners insurance. As for why do some not carry owners insurance I can tell you from the folks I know there is several reasons they do not. Belief that they will do little to no damage to property in the event of an accident other than to there plane. Distrust in the insurance company...

I purchase me owner insurance through PIM Aviation Insurance out of Wichita, Ks. Sharon Moriarity is my account manager at 1-800-826-4442. She has always seemed to find me the best rate with Golbal Aerospace.

I agree that the insurance companys drive a lot of this time stuff. My insurance company required any pilot who flys my plane to have a minimum time of 300 hours and 25 in type. I also concur with you post on quality of practice with flight buddy or instructor is a lot more important than...

Unless I am all wet here 61.51(a)(2) is centered around training for a certificate, rating or flight review. In fact Part 61 as a whole is centered around all of this from what I see. Now in my case let me state I do log all of my flights but still would like to see where it is written in...

I know that we are required to make those flights to maintain currency but where does it say we have to log them. An example is that I know several ATP's who have not logged there time in years.
