It’s been a hard decision to make but it is time to let this traveling machine become someone else’s magic carpet! I’ve flown this wonderful Bonanza for the last almost 13 years and 1100+ hours. 1968 Bonanza 36 N69CJ Serial #: E-15 TT 5662.5 (actively flying) $228k D’Shannon 15 gal tip...

It's time for a truck again (moving). I love this car. It's been my daily driver for the last 3.5 years so it's no show car. Maintained by the Audi dealer here in Nola; clean title, no major issues. Paint looks like you drove it to work everyday in a city filled with potholes and crappy drivers...

I've got a trip planned with a friend of mine for some white water rafting. The closest public airport is about 30 miles from the rafting site but there are some private strips much closer. The only contact info listed for the owner is a phone number. It seems a bit rude for me to call him...

Thanks for all the help I’ve gotten from the red/blue/purple and BT boards; I completed my first Bahamas trip in the Bo this week. My little sister got married and as her wedding gift, my wife and I planned (& paid for) her honeymoon. They knew we were doing it, but they didn’t know that we...

Well, after 30 views on the red board, I am still waiting on my first response, so I'll x-post here and the purple board: My wife and I would like to take her parents to Kennebunkport (but open for other nice coastal locations) to have a night in a B&B and some good Maine lobster. Does anyone...

My commuting days are coming to an end, so it's time to sell the Glasair. It's been an excellent little airplane and I hate to see it go. 2003 Glasair 1 FT 530(ish) TT, 205 SMOH. O-320 160hp Prince Carbon Fiber P-tip prop. Garmin XL300, Garmin 327, INS-422, digital EGT, 4 channel CHT's...

Anyone have experience good or bad for aftermarket electronic trim? I found this company: http://www.sabermfg.com/trim.htm which looks like a simple and effective solution. Thoughts?

My AP-1 has never really worked correctly. When engaged it (rarely, but) sometimes acts correctly. Most of the time is wants to turn sharply one direction then the other - as if it has a bad connection somewhere. It's the same whether in track or WL. I understand that the company went out...

I'll be spending about 6-8 weeks in Meridian and I'd like to knock out a tailwheel endorsement while I'm there. Anyone have a recommendation?

Going to Tennessee on Friday, might stop by PDK on the way to have lunch with a friend of mine. If the WX is nice, I'll just go VFR, but can file IFR if there's an easier way to get in there. What routing should I expect to get to PDK? :dunno: Thanks!

Airplane just came out of the annual and I noticed it was kinda hard to start occasionally, made some weird sounds but started every time. A couple of weeks ago I was flying to work and I noticed the volt meter was not at it's normal position (pegged at 15), it was about 13 and on the descent...

Is anyone else going to the EAA Pilots N Paws event in New Orleans this weekend? I think my wife and I are going down to help out. If anyone else is going, let me know - always good to put a face to an online name.

My Glasair is going in for its first annual (since I've been the owner). There are a few minor issues I'm going to have the A&P check/fix but I just thought about the logbooks tonight. I'm not exactly sure how/what I'm supposed to have put in the books. Where is the format for entries...

I saw a thread last year about a Bahamas trip and it sounded like a blast! I would love to do a 4-5 day quick trip over the Labor Day weekend. Any interest? :thumbsup::thumbsup:

I had a few friends over yesterday and a few guys flew in. We did a couple of formation flights, then hunkered down for the tstorms and lightening with a few adult beverages. :cornut: Here are a few pics: Special thanks to Steve for making the trip down!

Anyone ever flown into Blue Ridge? My family is going there for a vacation and I'd like to meet up with them, but can only go for a day or so and flying in is the quickest way for that. Airnav lists a phone number, but I don't know if I can just call the guy up or what. Runway looks like a...

I've been reading up on Cedar Key on $100 Hamburger and Adventurepilot.com - anyone been there lately? I'll be stopping in there with the wife for lunch and a look around on Friday enroute to Tampa for the Buffett concert! :drink::drink::drink: Any updates/advice on Cedar Key?

Just read on Foxnews: http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,589402,00.html

First off, thanks to all those who offered help on the tach issue. It was in fact a broken tach cable and we couldn't find the broken pieces, so off came the accessory drive. I got a message from my wife relaying what the A&P told her - one of the retaining clips got into the cam housing...

Anyone had a perfectly working tach that started to drop to zero then immediately back to normal? (no engine change) Mine did this for about an hour or so, then quit completely. Seems like a connection problem somewhere - where's the best place to start troubleshooting? Near the tach or at...
