Used less than 10 hours. I still have the original box, user's manual warranty registration. Still a couple of years left on the warranty as well. Works perfectly. 575.00 Shipped in the US. I am also selling on eBay but will end the auction early if someone from here buys. thanks, Ken

I got this from my flight school: Up to now, we not been enforcing our cancellation policy. From this point forward, there is a $25 cancellation fee if a renter/student cancels with less than 24 hours’ notice or if they "No-Show" for a lesson. This does not apply to weather or mechanical...

Hello, After looking at many of the possibilites of single plane ownership, I am thinking that I would at least explore the possibility of forming a partnership instead of going it alone. If you are in the Nashville area and you would be interested in discussing please let me know. I am...

Looking for a plane to complete my training and then begin IFR training. Looking at planes that have 70's era technology in Pipers and Cessnas. Does this make sense? Many of the planes do not have upgrades to a IFR GPS, but does that make them obsolete? Waste of time to learn on older...

I am looking for a quote to ferry a plane from Boston to Nashville. I contacted http://theferrypilot.com/ but I have not heard anything back from them. I will try to call today. The list of their 'recent' ferries are about a year old, so I am not sure they are still in business. Does anyone...

Anyone have a recommendation for a pre-purchase on a Piper Cherokee at KOWD? thanks, Ken

Hello, I am looking for a recommendation for an A&P to perform a pre-purchase at KOWD Norword, near Boston. Anyone have a recommendation for someone nearby? The plane is a Cherokee 140. thanks, Ken

A plane I am considering purchasing, has just completed its annual, as in within the last week or so. So the questions are: Should I have a pre-purchase if I believe that a quality annual was just performed? If I do have an annual, should I get a different shop than the one that does the...

Greetings all, In order to reduce the cost and increase the time, I am going to purchase a Cessna 150. Here are my questions (not all 150 specific): If the TBO is 1800, is buying one with 800-1000 on the engine a stupid or smart move? Should I only consider one with a very recent...

Entire trip, some parts are speed up 30X. Takeoff and landing look like slow motion, but are real time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A_GZb4WZNtA -Ken

Looking at the various finance companies, I see they are asking for standard stuff and they are looking for some amount of liquidity after the purchase. Does anyone have a ballpark on that amount? 10% of the purchase price perhaps? (just made that up) Anyone's experience in this area...

As i get everything set to actually purchase a plane, I discovered that the GA airport near by has a waiting list for hangers > 12 months. Other GA airports that are 40-ish minutes away have a variety of choices, community hanger, real hangers, etc. With having hangers somewhat nearby, would...

I see there is a thread about renter's insurance, but a lot of comments about insurance in general. Looking for a plane that fits my mission, an RV-9A seems perfect. I called Avemco and the price was 3500-4500 ballpark, before they knew I was a low time pilot. After I said that, she said I...

Attempt 1: Go to FBO, no instructor. Communications SNAFU, this and other confusion led me to get another CFI. Attempt 2: After flying with new CFI for a bit, she was ready to let me solo. We go up, winds way too choppy, we just fly to another airport and get in other training. Attempt...

Great tail number. The pilot was not in sight. I did not wait around.

I have been ready to solo for the last couple of weeks. Last time I flew I was happy to get in some more landing practice, but we were scheduled to go again this Sat, so all is perfect. Friday at work I get a text from the CFI, whoops I have a wedding on Sat, can we schedule for Sun? Took a...

I am having a little bit of a hard time wrapping my head around this: I am on final and perhaps I am a little high(altitude), speed is good, aiming point good, so I walk out the power a bit. The speed of the plane remains the same, but I descend a little steeper than I was. Here is the...

I might not be the strongest guy in the world, but the plane I am flying (172K) is not the easiest to rotate or flare. Yesterday I finally realized that I was just not back far enough on the yoke to really get us off the ground, not a great beginning to the lesson. Does anyone use two hands...

Greetings, I am training in a 172 that is all steam gauges, but the training center has a DA40 that is equipped with a G1000. I am thinking that if I were to rent after getting my PPL, I would prefer the DA40 (even though I have not actually flown one) I am also thinking my passenger (aka...

Greetings, This is my introduction post. I have been lurking of course. I have been training for the last month, looks like I have 5-6 hours of flight time. Things have been going pretty well. I am flying out of John Tune (JWN) in Nashville. Progress seems slow, but steady. On...
