I am absolutely amazed with this company (if the news is correct) The epic Velocity, a 5 place VLJ, has gone from paper to flying prototype in less than 6 months. If that is true, I am absolutely amazed. Anyway, it will be an experimental class product while sales underwrite the...

I'd like to fly my wife and another couple out skiing this winter, somewhere in CO probably. Can anyone make a suggestion on where to go, that is, somewhere that is GA friendly and easy to get to, with good runs?

Ah, what an open ended question :) I am debating between a turbine bonanza A36 or a 58 baron. Safety is paramount, especially after experiencing piston failures in the past. I do not like the extra fuel burn associated with the baron, nor the extra cost of maintaining two engines...

Just curious if, under Canadian flight rules, the Epic Victory http://www.epicaircraft.com/Victory.html can be built by the company and sold to the consumer in the states. I love the victory, but absolutely do not want to build it myself. I guess I could buy it used in 10 years :)

I flew the bonanza nonstop to NYC, KCDW. The airport worked great, business went well, and the flight was easy. 4hrs 2 mins (my bladder was hurting). Thanks to everyone who offered suggestions on where to land!

This is pretty cool- these guys are currently in Berlin after having flown their bonanza from Greenville. Thought I'd pass this site along- http://freedomflight.info/en/index.php If this inspires anyone, my bonanza (just like the one these guys are flying) is currently for sale ;-)

Is it bad that I am researching a lancair propjet, even though I know of the horrendous safety record? Also, I am itching to go to Europe, which, if I do, I might as well go round the world solo :) Now, what airplane should I buy? (I swear, this has nothing to do with the fact that I got...

Just wondering if anyone has first hand, before and after, experiences with flap gap seals. If I can gain 6-8knots for 500$, I am all over it. Also, there was a company called Smith Speed Conversions that I keep hearing about from fellow bonanza owners/old timers. The claim is that this...

Title says it all. I bought WXworx software which included the XM receiver and antenna. This unit is powered by a 12-28volt cig adapter and has a USB output. If I can find the WXworx CD's, that's for sale as well. Anyway, make an offer. As you can tell, Im pretty casual about selling, so no...

I would love to have a single turbine- the DLX looks like a fun machine, granted the useful load isnt worth a darn. (good thing I don't have many friends) The TBM is a bit pricey and loves to guzzle gas, so that is out. Anyway, these are just dreams :) Any input for a single engine, turbine...

In the bonanza. I have flown into KTEB many times, in a Citation CJ1 and Kingair 350, and given the fact that there are virtually no single engine aircraft on the field, was thinking of flying into KHPN (Westchester Co.) Has anyone flown into this airport in a SEA? If so, how difficult is it...

Interesting conversation. I love the look of the airplane, but come on, 150 knots on a twin? Seems a bit slow, especially given that slick airframe. He told me that diamond is waiting on approval for an ECU modification that increasing the turbo boost in the engine, giving each engine roughly...

Is it bad that I have been eye balling a Lancair Legacy (finished) to replace my bonanza? 230 knots on 13 gph sounds really nice :) If only the wife would sign off on it- Me: "Look at this cool airplane!" Her: "Experimental? Does that means it runs off of plutonium or something?" Me: "Nope...

What an amazing machine. Flew a 350 out of Dallas on Sat/sunday and it was remarkable to use. Cloud tops, precip intensity, convective activity, icing, etc. What a great tool. Switch from aviation to auto maps in a flash. It also has XM radio for those long flights. I think I might have to...

Seeing as I am a big nerd when it comes to new avionics, I thought I'd get some opinions on this system. It is very similar to the Chelton Flight System's PFD/ EFIS (a $50K system, ouch!) but for ~4,000$. It is for experimental aircraft only, but word is that several certified a/c are...

Hey guys, I have been lurking here for awhile and figured it was time for me to join :) Anyway, I am exhausting every resource available to try and find a t-hangar for rent/buy @ PDK. I own a 91 F33A bonanza and my bird needs a home, the hot Georgia sun isn't friendly to a new paint job...
