Sold pending funds. SOLD.

SOLD. So a while back I bought a barely used A20, but it had the helicopter plug and a dual GA plug adapter. I was always skeptical of these adapters but the guy I bought it from said it worked great. Well it does work, but you get some kind of interference noise through it. It isn't...

Go on.... Oh sorry, wrong forum. Sounds like you've done your due diligence, should be just fine!

Yep!

About to turn 5. I'm so relieved that she likes flying :D

Took my daughter to breakfast a few weeks ago. She's flown 4 times now, this was her first time actually going somewhere.

Maybe you were meant to be a CFI? I literally cannot read a single entry that a CFI has scribbled into my log book.

That's really cool.

I dunno, but I live 6.5 miles southeast of lake Conroe. Let's go fly some time.

Well, I'm sold. I never really looked into them but assumed they would be much more expensive than they are. The most expensive Glasair on trade a plane right now is $149,900.

^ Nice! I'll look into one of those.

Thanks for all the encouragement everyone. Got her up again the other day, this time in the front seat. She did so well the first time I felt confident with just me and her, and she did great. I think I have the flying buddy I have been wanting!

@MountainDude Is the Insta360 easier to use than a GoPro? I got a Hero8 for Christmas, and I'm quickly learning how much of a pain in the ass it is to actually get the video from it. I'm sure it's great for people who know what they're doing, but I mean for an idiot, like me :confused:

I recently bought the My Pilot Pro mount and it works well. You might want to adjust the angle by bending the bracket a little. It won't be so bad on your Arrow, but mounted to a Cessna it looks like this... Rather than start bending on the original one I got a scrap piece of metal from...

Relatively speaking... I see decent looking V-tail bonanzas going for Cessna 150 money these days. I realize the price of cessnas is through the roof right now, but I'm surprised to see 150s listed for 30-50k and most bonanzas in the 30s. I could imagine maintenance on a 70 year old complex...

Thanks again guys, I really appreciate all the input. I'm trying to get more active here locally, I went to a local EAA chapter meeting a while back, met some great people there, I just joined the EAA and I'll start going to the meetings regularly whenever my work schedule permits. I'll start...

Thanks for all the input. To put it into perspective, I'm not looking to buy something worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. If I bought something right now it would be a ~$30k Cessna 150. What I'd really like is a vans RV-6a, but that would take a little more saving. Which is fine, but if...

But how did you set up the inspection? Did a mechanic you know fly out there to inspect it, or did you reach out to someone near the plane? And if so, how did you find them?

How do people set something like this up? I'm at the point where I'm ready to make something happen if I found the right one. Obviously you have more to choose from if you look outside your area. So let's say you find one you're seriously interested in, but it's a long way away. How do you...
