Is the name of seller the individual or the LLC?

Hi all, Looking at a plane engine that was overhauled by the above shop, just wondering if anyone has an experience with his work. Seems like a smaller shop but does offer a 2 year warranty.

Looking for an MX300. Let me know if you have one and your asking price.

Simmers - looking for a recommendation. I have a new-ish laptop that I'd like to set up for some practice for IFR. I know it's not fast enough for simulating the scenery, but I don't care about that. It's a 1.1 Ghz Celeron with 4gb SDRAM and of course an integrated graphics card, Windows 10...

I was unable to clearly communicate with approach today. I was less than 20 miles from the station at about 6500 feet. They could hear my initial call, but could not clearly hear my request for FF that followed. This is not the first time this has happened. It seems like at 10+ miles out...

Today I was on a short XC flight at 3000, and had flight following. They advised of traffic at my 1:00, but could not tell me more because the traffic was not speaking with ATC. I could not see them because I was flying right at the sun. They advised a climb to 3500. I saw them pass right in...

I've decided to take advantage of a local BATD for the 10 allowable hours towards my IFR rating. I want to use the full 10 because everyone complains about how they do not behave like airplanes, so I assume that some portion of that will just be acclimating to the sim. My question is when you...

Looking through the records of my C-150, I see: 7/99: Tach 4543 "Removed both mags + ck. Condition installed new points in L.H. mag retimed both mags to engine" 10/16: Tach 5043 "C/W Slick SB 2-80C IRAN on left magneto. Replaced coil and reset internal timing and timed to engine." There is...

I just read through Mike Busch's engines book. As a pilot and owner of a C-150 with a Continental O-200, I have a vested interest in keeping my engine running reliably. I was hoping that this book would help me glean some knowledge on how to decrease my chances of having an in flight engine...

In my new to me Cessna 150, I would like to finally complete the instrument rating that I started years ago. Let me be clear that I have no interest in flying in IFR conditions in a 150; I just want to become a better pilot. To that end, the plane I bought has a single Nav/Com (TKM MX-300) with...

Hi All - Planning a flight tomorrow from KFCI to KLNS. Planning on routing > MD82 > 27MD to avoid restricted areas, SFRA, and class B. I will get flight following. Thoughts on this route, or any suggestions? It's my first time through this busy airspace, and this route seemed like it was the...

Just got a new-to-me Cessna 150! It has about 1500 smoh and does not have an oil filter. I'm thinking about how to manage the oil changes. It seems like the best thing to do would be to put an oil filter adapter on and change the oil and filter every 3-4 months. I only ask the question here...

Hello all, I'm looking for an A&P near KFCI to do a prebuy on a C-150. If anyone has any recommendations please let me know. Thanks!

I have been on the lookout for a C-150 or similar airplane and have been shocked at the asking prices I'm seeing. A local one for sale has the original (45 year old) engine, interior, and radios, and is asking nearly $30k. I'm blown away seeing prices in the $30-40 range for an average...

Any thoughts on the safety of the AA-1B/C? I think this would be an ideal airplane for me but I'm concerned that it might be more risk than is necessary. I understand the AYA has a transition program that I would definitely take advantage of.

I'm only a few hours into my IR training and was hoping for some feedback on the best approach for a well-rounded experience. I belong to a great club; I can fly a basic IFR platform for only about $70/hour Hobbs, so flight time is very inexpensive. Because of that I am leaning towards doing...
