    GRR and vicinity GA scene?

    There is a possibility I may be relocating to the Grand Rapids area in the next several months. Any local POA-ers? What is the GA scene like up there? Clubs? Frequent fly-ins? Good GA airports? Hangar space? Being in the Dayton region currently it's easy to take for granted what all we...

    Rage quitting, aerial survey style

    https://flightaware.com/live/flight/N59906/history/20220829/1621Z/KBLI/KBLI Wasn't my outfit, but I sure cracked up over it :D:devil:

    Anyone got one? Has anyone flown one? How bad are parts for the foreign airframe even though it's a Lycoming engine? Any pirep's appreciated.

    Why so many RV12's for sale recently?

    Did I miss some big pending AD or something else catastrophic that has everyone dumping these? There seems to suddenly be a bunch on the market. Or am I just crazy? (I am, but...)

    KLN94 still supported?

    Are KLN94 still supported as far as database upgrades, etc. or is it just basically VFR ballast by now?

    POA's dream plane?

    Shamelessly stolen from an Instagram suggested post, but I think this is the definitive answer to every "What plane..." thread on POA. Although maybe it needs some 182 blood in it too.

    TBM700 down, Urbana, OH

    Beech A23-24 Super III "Super Mouse"

    After my souped up Cherokee was found to be making metal in the prebuy and I had to walk away, I've now stumbled into a "Super Mouse" which suits the wife's wishes for dog flights better. Besides the gear pucks, any other things to watch for or stay away from? Anyone out there got one? What...

    Tablet/phone based charts

    Very near (finally) taking the plunge into ownership. The plane is well equipped for my budget and mission but doesn't have a GPS. Rather than upgrade the panel, I was considering a tablet/phone based app and looking for advice from those of you with experience. VFR only so won't need...

    Cherokee 235's

    Have found what appear to be a few decent deals on 235's from the 60's on the usual sources. Decent deals meaning a 235 for the price of a comparable 4 cylinder Cherokee. What's the scoop on these? How much faster in the real world than the 180? They seem to be fixed pitch props in that...

    Tornado likely crossed airfield at TLH

    So far no injuries reported, hopefully the same goes for aircraft since 2020 had enough airplanes getting eaten by tornadoes and insurance increases. https://twitter.com/harr1sonpr1eto/status/1354477448256237574?s=19 (you don't have to be a twitter user to see the pics, I just didn't want to...

    Are Skycatchers still supported at all?

    Simple question. Is Cessna/Textron supporting the Skycatcher for parts at all at this point or is it a total orphan like other LSA's whose companies have folded?

    172B's / O300-D

    I've been a low wing guy, but between my desire for two doors and the wife's disdain for climbing on a wing I've been giving the Cessnas a look lately. First off, a 172 vs an equivalent Cherokee is a rip off but that's another story. I came upon a 172B with the O300-D. I've searched all...

    172 vs 177 vs 182

    For a long time now I've been back and forth about buying my first plane and what to buy. While not trying to start a low wing vs high wing war... I just can't stand 172's. To me they feel less solid than a PA28, and I can't stand the wing strut in my way. That said, the wife likes high...

    Top overhaul on high time engine question

    Question for the community... And yes I know get a proper prebuy, but I'm asking if it's even worth investing in that or just walk away. '62 Cherokee 160 that was long ago upgraded to 180hp. A couple years / 100 hours ago someone top overhauled the cylinders, etc. It's still a 20+ year old...

    New MOA in WV?

    https://pittsburgh.cbslocal.com/2020/07/26/plan-seeks-to-expand-training-airspace-over-west-virginia/amp/?__twitter_impression=true Harrison County would run it as far north as CKB and down past CRW. That's huge. And down to 3500 is a big roadblock for crossing the mountains E-W.

    Remos GX

    Anyone got one? Pros? Cons? Saw one for sale and became intrigued but honestly know nothing about them.

    Storms eating more planes

    This time at LBE in PA. Arnold Palmer's home. Seems to be limited to that one hangar on the north side of the field and not the main complexes a bit south. Pics from https://twitter.com/ismithKDKA/status/1247866880490176513?s=19

    Missing logs from 50ish years ago

    A 1969 Cherokee, but the first few years of logs are missing as they pick up in the 70's. Everything is complete since then. How big of a detriment should that be from the value? Engine has obviously been OH since then and 0 timed. What do you all think? Thanks.

    Definitive proof Pipers beat Cessnas, Beeches, Cirruses, etc

    Today is the 11th day of Christmas. Nobody was gifting 11 Cessnas Cessnaing, 11 Beechcrafts Beeching, and especially not 11 Cirruses pulling the chute... It was 11 Pipers piping ;)
