    Can anyone identify this plane?

    Did I read correctly that it was a prototype and only 2 were built? If one is in a museum, this is the second one.

    I asked the librarian if she has any books on paranoia. She whispered, 'They're right behind you.'

    Would you be interested in some form of back-up propulsion for your piston single? If yes, how much would you be willing to pay for it?

    Not useful. An electric motor with a small battery might be a better choice. For about 200 lbs of useful load, you could get 10 minutes of flight time, which at a minimum allows you to pick your off airport landing spot. The math might be based on old battery tech and if you slow to best...

    Flying to towered airports with medical restriction of “not valid for flying by color signal control”?

    You could also do an unofficial test. Go with up with someone else and tell the tower you've never seen signal lights and ask them to give you some. Check if you can see them, I've heard they're much brighter than expected. The reason I say "someone else" is that if you can't make them out...

    How to buy a plane

    Rolling back on this - Does anyone have a step by step of what to do and when? Something that starts with "I found something I'm interested in" and ends with "You turn the ignition and fly home"?

    Baffle seal rivet shavings

    A long damp q-tip may help too. I have used a sticky lubricant on a q-tip to fish something out of a tight spot, but be sure to use something that is already found in the environment and not too much.

    Alec Baldwin shoots and kills cinematographer.

    Well, if that’s all it takes, then the guy who hired her and then held the gun, pointed the gun, and actually shot the poor lady should be shaking in his boots.

    Gut Check: Is it a good plan in my situation to buy a plane for training?

    You asked for a gut check. You're getting a lot of reality that is suggesting probably not. Everybody's risk tolerance is difference. Past performance is not a predictor of future success. Invest wisely.

    Gut Check: Is it a good plan in my situation to buy a plane for training?

    Familiar with HELOCs...although I don't use it much for work, one of my degrees is in finance. It's not a risk _I_ would take for a toy.

    Gut Check: Is it a good plan in my situation to buy a plane for training?

    Your analysis is fine given happy path ownership. I'm not thrilled about the 10 year interest only loan because it means you'll have to pay back 50k that you don't have now, but that's about your finances. Partnerships can be hard to get out of, what if you can't sell by 10 years? What if...

    I need help. I want to get to 250 hours as efficiently as possible.

    I have the same question - how do you a private ticket and only have 10 hours PIC? Just the 10 hours solo time during private + your checkride should add up to more than 10 hours. Are you logging it right? Even with an instructor, every flight where you're the sole manipulator of the controls...
