    Commander 114 or Bonanza A36? Which is better?

    Len, A Commander 114 certainly will exceed 150kts. My 1976 114 cruises at 155KTAS @ 6000' on 10.5 gph. My useful load is 1245 lbs. With full fuel(68 gal usable) that leaves 833 useful load. A 114B(1992 & newer cruises at 160kts+. Maybe you are thinking of a 112 which is lucky to hit 130kts and...

    Ed's Mooney

    There's something very strange about the Mooney emmpanage. The entire thing moves. Its how Mooneys are trimmed! So, why stop there? Let's tilt the wings fore & aft so we can eliminate the flaps! Weird stuff. Thats just wrong. Gary

    Thanks for your generous offer Ed, but my when my wife heard that there would be no flying this weekend she made arrangements to go see her parents(my in-laws). Unfortunately, I have to drive her there! You talk about a bad situation getting worse, sheesh! :dunno: Keep me posted on any...

    It figures. This Saturday and Sunday weather forecast for Michigan to be the best flying weekend in the last 3 months and I'm grounded. !#&&#&&#%^#^!^%$#&!#$&*#@!(()*&#$!!*#$!)*

    Midwest - Saturday March 11th.

    I would be interested in flying somewhere for breakfast or lunch, if my airplane is returned to service in time. My battery(Gill-35) cooked sulfuric acid all over the inside of my rear fuselage. The battery box contained most of it, thankfully. A real mess. Pulling sheet metal and treating the...

    New plane, and boy is it ugly!

    YEEEEEEEEEEEEOOOOOOWWWWWW Ed. :eek: I hope your dad's first priority is a new paint job & scheme! Hope the interior is less offensive! Tell him to defer some of your inheritance(you don't need the money) into his airplane fund so that he can purchase an airplane that is a little easier on the...

    Looks like this might be the plan, Stan.

    Hey Jack, What are you doing up at 01:26am? Gowen rolls up the sidewalks at 9:00pm. Hope you are doing your school work and not surfing those porn sites, again.:rofl: Gary

    Looks like this might be the plan, Stan.

    Jack, I can count the number of times that the Navion has flown, on one hand, in the past two years. :hairraise: :hairraise: :hairraise: :hairraise: You either have more guts or less brains than I. You won't catch me flying in any airplane that gets flown so infrequently. Stick with the 172...

    Looks like this might be the plan, Stan.

    Ed, Have you or your dad flown a Navion? There is one hangared next to me at Greenville(6D6). It is a true "Hangar Queen". When it flies, we all have to cover our ears. It is the noisiest thing in the sky. They have more valves & switches than a Boeing 747. Navion put the "Complex" in the...
