I was talking about the Breaking Bad character.

He was a chemist and a High School teacher.

Jeff, I guess I will eat some of my words. 1. I purchased the OSH deal over my office computer. Came home and tried to download to my iPad. It seems I must pay again? 2. So I recognize this is a SNAFU and when to your website to get Support or otherwise draw this to your attention. No Support...

Children, lots of opinions but little constructive comment. Miracheck should have a users manual on thir website and a feedback button. Can we do that?

Excellent. Thanks very much. Anyone have any other pointers?

Thanks once again for your perceptive input. The two choices I have, assuming the Seneca is still on the table are the Seneca II, hangar kept, well maintained with 175 hour factory remans. I have no idea of the time but I imagine it is somewhere in the 3000 hour range. The price is $60,000 with...

Thanks to all of you so far. Keep the comments coming. Part 91 use only. The less I am involved with the authroities the better.

I was to buy a Seneca II but it seems the Seller may renege. I have been looking at Aztecs E&F, preferably non turbo for short hops from Florida to the Bahamas. I fly about 100 to 150 hours a year. I have been told Aztecs are maintenance hogs? Any truth to the rumour? If so, can you provide...

Such as?

Thanks very much. The figures are as follows: Gross 4570 ZFW 2841 Useful load 1729 The airplane holds 98 gallons that would weigh 588 pounds. So does that mean if I have 98 gallons aboard I can load 1141 pounds aboard-i.e. me at 200 pounds and 941 pounds of payload?

I am considering a Seneca II. I have about 1200 hours in a C206 and loved it for its ability to haul stuff. I will have my conversion training in the next couple of weeks but something has come up that I do not clearly understand. What is Zero Fuel Weight (ZFW)? Is it the weight of the plane dry...
