Hey frankly I think you look at it this way. Were you already planning on buying an airplane after you and your wife got you ppl? If so then it makes solid sense. If you were already going to buy it after completing your training you get double benefits by A) not have to pay for a rental plane...

I fly a '76 182P with the long range tanks and a 252 HP conversion for work, and with it at full fuel and two people I average about a 125 KTS cruise and about 13 GPH.

I don't know if hit it with a cutting torch while doing auto work and it doesn't seem to burn

Anybody ever thought of using Line-X to coat the floors of your Airplane? I feel like it would be nice instead of grungy carpet after a wet winter.

It is US, and this was just the very beginning of trying to figure out numbers wise if it would work or not. Me and a couple other guys have just been kicking around the idea. We figured between the lower costs of Hangering, fuel, and overhead that we could come out ahead of what others charge...

It would work but the goal was something small. The base of the idea was being able to undercut other companies prices by flying a smaller less expensive plane and being able to get into smaller airports. Others doing car transport use 737's and the like so I wanted to get something that was...

Ya but I also don't have a helo cert. Unfortunately the more I look the more I think it's probably not gonna work out which is a pity. But oh well. Thanks for the help everybody.

I'd prefer a ramp so we can just drive the cars on and off but if a fork and pallet are what's needed I could figure it out.

I like the idea of the casa 235 but It's amazes me how hard this is turning out to be lol, who wants to get together and start a company to build something that would work for this. Flymy47 I agree that it's a tough set. It's looking like to find anything that may even work I'll end up having to...

Ya if I could by air force goodies I'd be a lot poorer :D. Do you remember the Afghan C27's they scrapped for pennies on the dollar? I would have flown there in a second to get one or five for double what they scrapped them for.

I like the DHC 4 but same deal with parts

I've thought about the Shorts but I don't know what the parts situation is like for them plus most of the ones I've seen for sale are 20 or 30 thousand hours so they're gonna need parts. I know shorts stopped making them in the 80's and if parts are gonna be an arm and a leg that wont be great.

Ha I wish that would probably pay better. I looked at the Let 410 and it's cabin wouldn't be big enough. It's cabin is Length 16.4 ft Width 4.92 ft Height 5.31 ft and I need closer to like 17' x 7 x 7. It will have to fit things like a Mercedes G-class or a Jeep wrangler at the largest.

Hi everybody, I'm trying to see if anyone knows of a smallish cargo plane that I can fit a car in, think luxury SUV's. I've looked at things like the CASA 212 (which is just a smidgen to small) but I would also prefer not to go up to a used DC-8 or 737. I'm looking for bare basics here, with...

Hi all, I was wondering if there's any way to make it so that when I go to the direct to page on my Garmin 430 my home airport automatically pops up? I've looked through the Garmin manual and I can't seem to find a way to do it. If anyone knows how that would be much appreciated. Thanks everybody.

I know this isn't exactly the place to put this but I think it is at least a decent bit realitive. I am thinking about joining the USMC as a pilot, I will graduate with a bachelors of science in aviation flight sciences with a private pilots license, instrument rating, commercial multi-engine...
