    For Sale Partnership in Omaha area?

    I am interested in looking at a Turbo 206H partnership in the Omaha area. I have a hangar. Is there any interest? This would be a 2007-2010 G1000 bird.

    Rented pilots for your plane?

    I’m drumming up an idea that I’d like some hangar talk on- I have a possible periodic company mission that could use a 206h stationair but I don’t want to be the one on the hook flying it all the time for work stuff (but I will fly it for my own missions on the weekend, etc.). This is due to...

    Commercial certificate help insurance

    Will getting my commercial ticket reduce my insurance premium on my Deboniar, or make me more insurable on a larger plane if I go that route later in life? Or is it all about hours?

    Earmuff on your dog?

    Are ear muffs a need for a pup? We have a shih tzu and I don’t think the muffs will fit her very well. Would like to take her with us on some trips. Anyone have any thoughts on this? In a bonanza.

    Non aviation LED lights

    Anyone know of any installations of something like this on an airplane? Asking for a friend. https://www.amazon.com/Headlights-Lights-Replacement-Projector-Offroad/dp/B072HSLXYC/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?keywords=par46+LED&qid=1553625593&s=gateway&sr=8-1-spons&psc=1

    Vintage or GA at Osh?

    well the plane I am buying qualifies for Vintage parking at Osh Kosh. Would you do that or park in the north 40 as usual? The air show view from vintage is pretty good but afraid of poor shower access and missing out on the n40 comraderie.

    Certificate of Conformance

    When ordering parts online I sometimes get the option of "include C of C for $15?" When would I need to pay extra for this? Applies on oil filters, some gasket kits, etc. Thanks

    What do you think of these compressions?

    Compression history of IO-470n overhauled in 2006, 480 hours ago. Sort of all over the place, but maybe that isn't uncommon for a bigger Continental. Its not like one individual cyl is consistently weak, one year it may be 60's the next year in the 70's. What do you think? In the pre-buy...

    Running tanks dry in cruise

    looking for thoughts and words of wisdom on running a tank dry on a long cross country. I’ve never done this before. But, how else to maximize fuel range and leave the max amount in the last tank for approach, landing, missed approach, etc? Is the method to run her til the engine quits and...

    Things you can do yourself

    Hi Guys- Looking down the barrel at being a first time owner after many years of dreaming- is there a comprehensive list somewhere of things I can do myself, without a sign-off? Do I make logbook entries for this things? I know I can change oil, but what else can I (or can I not) do? Can I...

    Need to paint?

    the plane I am looking at (63 debonair) needs paint. There is some bear aluminum on the leading edges and around the doors. Is paint an immediate need or can it wait a year or two? It will be hangared but tied down at Osh Kosh and during weekend trips.

    Looking at a 210b now

    Happened upon a nice, clean, 1962 210B for sale, mid time engine, decent panel that doesn’t look like something from the Flinstones, etc. I look at the airplane like a 182 more than a 210 capability wise since it’s an older one. The power packs have been OH’d in the last year...

    Cost effective autopilot option?

    I am looking at a Debonair that does not have an autopilot other than the basic Beech wing leveler gizmo. While the dream would be a GFC500, I am wondering if there is a more cost effective option for now that would just be a nice single axis AP that could track a heading or a course from the...

    Sit too long?

    Pouring over the logbooks of a 1975 200hp non-turbo arrow I’m looking at. 1650 TSOH (1991) and 700 since top end in 2000. It flew about 75 hours a year until 2009, then only about 10-25 depending on the year. It sat most of 2018 with only a couple hours. 75/75/77/77 compression. Question is...

    First plane purchase- Piper Dakota

    Hi all- Been lurking for awhile but this is my first post- been flying for about 8 years and finally thinking about the plunge to ownership. A lot of 182 and Arrow time, I am looking for a Piper Dakota (or a 182 but the Dakota seems a little bit faster and cheaper to acquire). Flying a A36...
