If you can find a Ford Focus SVT that hasn't been all modified into a street racer they are fun, practical and economical (relatively). AutoBlog Focus SVT

My original 182 had the Hartzell Scimitar prop when the engine was O/H'ed. I switched to the 2 blade MT. It was significantly lighter which helps the nose heavy 182. It was also a bit faster. Seemed to like to run 2450 RPM. My 182 with the IO520 came with an older 3 blade Hartzel. I changed...

If you violate the Terms Of Service (TOS) enough times they'll do it without having to ask.

I have owned a 1974 182P that I had overhauled to a P.Ponk. I've also owned a 1973 182P that the previous owner upgraded to an AirPlains IO-520. I've been reading airplane forums for decades. My opinion is generally not widely held from what I've read. For me, the ultimate plane is a 182P with...

I missed it on the first post, but I'm not falling for it again...:) I'm a little slow sometimes.

No. A V8 has 2x as many cylinders but likely not 2x the number of parts, so cylinders and any parts duplicated per cylinder will have the probability for twice the failures. Overall, V8 and 4 cylinders will have different failure probabilities because they are not the same engine. It is the...

I don’t have an answer to your question, but I was wondering, wouldn’t non-pilot buddy be (NPB)?

I had trouble pairing a new device to the GMA350c. In my case a different iPhone was already paired and the new one wouldn't work until I unpaired the original. Subsequently I can pair either one and it works. Mine were both iPhones though so may not be the same issue you are having.

I used enclosed car transport from Plycar from OH to NV. Very professional and I'm happy with them. $2,500ish if I recall correctly. https://plycongroup.com

Could he have meant to say KMYF (Montgomery's Class Delta)? You were already cleared into Bravo. Depending on your choice of terrain avoidance and altitude maybe they were just making sure you didn't clip KMYF delta.

I believe the Aspen works with the Avidyne DFC90 which I really like. Mine was connected to the Avidyne panel not the Aspen so I can't say first hand how that works, but the reviews I've read were universally positive. I did have one of the first Aspens installed connected to an STEC-50...

I've lived in Penasquitos and Poway (just to the east of PQ). I trained at KMYF (Montgomery) and after my private had a hangar at KRNM (Ramona). For me, RNM has a number of advantages over other SoCal options. It's usually the first VFR airport in the area when the marine layer moves out (and...

I hesitate to respond because it is outside the original question. If speed and spousal approval are paramount AND money isn't a factor.... SR22 Cirrus I had one. I didn't particularly like it (although it was very nice). My wife loved it. Wingspan makes for a tight fit in smaller hangars.
