    A cautionary tale on aircraft sales contracts

    Not to sound too whiny, but this thread is a micro-example of my experience. On a thread about airplane contracts, with at least one lawyer in attendance, not a single reply such as "Oh, you need lawyer type XXX, they usually advertise as YYY". Called around a few places for another...

    Yes. See above. It's not from lack of trying.

    A cautionary tale on aircraft sales contracts

    Might be cheaper to just buy the airplane back. It obviously has a serious defect (the dent), so offering what the buyer paid plus expenses is a very generous offer...

    A cautionary tale on aircraft sales contracts

    What kind of lawyer should I be looking for if I want someone to review or write a sales contract? The few times I've thought I'd like to see a lawyer about something, all I find in the "yellow pages" (google search) are criminal and injury people.

    You can probably get away with that in California. :)

    Bottom falls out!

    This reminded me of something from a while back, so I did teh googles... "teens killed deck collapse". Wow. This happens more than you'd think.

    RIP Fats Domino

    Yeah, extreme example. But what is the window? days? weeks? Months? Same year? You know in the "People we've lost" retrospectives, they'll all show up in the same slide set.

    RIP Fats Domino

    Suppose it depends on your time scale. In geologic time, Berry, Guillaume and Domino died at the same instant. :D

    Mercury freezes at -38.8C. Yes, that's damn cold, but I wonder how the viscosity changes above that. You alaska guys might end up trying to spin a lump of mercury around...

    Chuck Berry died in March. Third shoe?

    Emergency Descents

    I may be thinking about this wrong, but we're trying for the highest sustainable descent rate, right? Whatever IAS and config gives us that, correct? Or are there other issues that factor in?

    Hanger Waitlist- Buy Now Anyway?

    I know right. And some people would rather wait outside than just fold their clothes, but whadyagonnado.

    Hanger Waitlist- Buy Now Anyway?

    Wow. Ok, now I don't feel so bad about the 50 minute drive I currently have. But man... it'd be nice to be within 5-10 minutes for that "45 minute flight around the patch after work" flight. A long commute sort of takes the fun out of it.

    Emergency Descents

    I deploy the speed brakes and can do >2500fpm. Not sure how much more than that, 'cause I've never looked at the tablet's altitude display and I think my VSI only goes that high. :)

    Hanger Waitlist- Buy Now Anyway?

    Not saying you should, but I personally made the hangar a condition of buying the plane. No way I was going to spend that much money and let it sit outside. Planes are always available, hangars aren't. Lots of people do it like eman, and that's fine. But since my plane is a big toy, there was...
