Good Afternoon, My dad and I are going to take the RV to Oshkosh this year. We are hoping to get a spot with electric. Does anyone know how quickly these spots fill up? And does Goodwill still sell cheap bikes for the week?

First off, at 26 I think I count as a Millennial. I started training for my PPL at 23, and I worked my ass off to afford flying lessons. I got my cert at 24 and I love spending time out at the airport. My flight instructor was a professional pilot for an airliner, and was fairly young as...

I will be taking it to Fletchair if all else fails. They told the previous owner over the phone that it was probably an o-ring that would require taking the wing off to get to.... After putting fuel in the wing myself and looking for the leak, this is where I found the leak. The mechanic that...

It looks like the fuel leak on the left wing is coming from where the fitting assembly that is bonded to the spar. How easy is that to fix?

Well here it is, will be mine in a few days!

The current owner is under the assumption that I will have to have a CFI actually check me out for insurance. Is this true?

Sounds like he just needs to sell it.... If he can afford to have two planes, why does he need this one to make him money?

If you find a P-51 sitting rusting away in a hanger with an owner looking for someone to fly it.... let me know!

Wow, looks like there's been quite a lot of debating since I last checked on this haha. Well I test flew it last weekend with the owner. I love the plane. I think I have my financing lined up, and I will be looking at nailing down insurance Monday. The owner wants me to go flying with...

He took me up for a little bit today. I am officially hooked now. I just have to find financing. We are talking about taking it back to Fletch Air to get the leak fixed. And then I would buy it for $14,500. I really really like the plane! It's not out of hooks.

Can the owner legally check me out in the plane if he is not a CFI? I will be flying with him anyways before I buy it.

I went to meet the owner in person today. He is very thorough. You can tell that he really cares for the aircraft. After talking for a couple hours, he said that he would part with it for $13,500 if I wanted to buy it now, or for about $14,500 if I wanted to wait until the leak is fixed. He...

I am 25 and only have about 60 flight hours, I assume that is what's driving it. My dad was wondering if we added him to the coverage, could it get cheaper. He has had his PPL for over 12 years and has about 800+ hours.

Thank you all very much for the information. You have all been very helpful. I am leaning towards the Grumman more than the Bonanza. I am a low time new private pilot and my mission is mostly flying around the coast on the weekends and traveling about 100-200 miles away. (Parents live 100 miles...

The identification plate underneath the horizontal stabilizer says its an American AA-1B with a serial number AA1B-0042. The N-lookup says it was manufactured in 1972. I went and looked at it in person today. I will be meeting him in person to officially look at it over the weekend...

The only problem with the Grumman is the owner says it has a fuel leak in the wing. He is taking it to a mechanic to get it fix. Is this common with them.

Does anyone have experience in Grumman AA-1B or similar models? I am looking at a 1972 Grumman that has about 400 hrs SMOH and a 1949 Bonanza that has about 250 hours SMOH. The Grumman is selling for $15,000-$16,000 and the Bonanaza wants $27,000. I am leaning towards the Grumman now...

Also, its been bellied before. Repaired. Fresh annual this month 250 on a 225 Hp conversion from an original 185 HP. Garmin 430, HSI new Stec 30 AP with altitude hold new King intercom/audio panel

I am in the very beginning stages of buying my first plane. I know a reputable person who is selling a 1949 Bonanza. He is wanting in the neighborhood of 27k for it. It has 250 hours on a 225hp conversion engine. The little research that I've done so far seems to be a mix of good and...

As a mid 20's male pilot(not sure what demographic you are targeting) I really like the look of your apparel, but for those prices I can buy name brand stuff for less.... What makes you think your stuff is better than Under Armour or Nike? Just cause it was "finished" in America? Who cares...
