Sport Pilot Talk

Welcome Kurt! Glad to see yet another member on the West Coast! I’m down in Southern California, but hoping that if Sebring doesn’t come to fruition for me, that we can maybe catch up at other regional shows. AOPA’s Fly-In for 2019 is in Livermore (June) that I am hoping to attend. And there’s the A...

I may try to make this... but this may overlap with my plane being ferry-flown out to California. I’ll have to confirm as the dates get closer. Plus I would want to take a day off (Friday) and possibly fly commercial Thursday evening to spend the day Friday there.

i have the ACR ResqLink. Great little unit that’s easy to carry since it’s so small. Not much else I can say about it since I’ve not needed to use it, but I have peace of mind by making it part of my flight bag.

Excellent note and advisory for both your students and anyone else who will read it, Paul.

Condolences to you and your friend’s family on the loss.

Thanks guys! RTK, rule 1 is 'happy wife, happy life' of course. However, you might try vacationing in Orange County CA, accidentally drive by Zamperini Field, stop in to see TAF USA, have Jean take your wife up for a quick flight over the Pacific coast...she'll INSIST that you get a Sling! No one g...

Ditto on the congrats, Cam! Gorgeous bird you’ve got there! Can’t wait to hear of the adventures you’ll have with your Sling! I saw a Sling 4 on the ramp at my airport this morning. Gorgeous craft, and I thought of your build, and then started thinking about how long it might take to build one. Then...

Done!

Amazing!

Welcome John! I trained in a Remos GX as well! I thought it was a good plane for training with benign characteristics. Looking forward to reading about your progress! Good luck with the exam!

Congratulations on the encore career, Dave! It’s been said that if you do what you love, it isn’t a “job.” I envy you both for having retired, and for finding a role with an organization that supports the pilot community and is one of your passions.

A Vashon Ranger dropped in at the Piper Memorial Airport (KLHV) this week, enroute to its new owner. First time I've seen one in the flesh. Thanks for posting the pic! What did you think of it? I’ve yet to see one in person, but it does look like a really nice, robust aircraft at a very compelling ...

AOPA’s reporting of the announcement: https://www.aopa.org/news-and-media/all-news/2018/october/07/big-news-from-aopa-carbondale-fly-in Seems 4 seat aircraft may be considered as LSA as I understand what was posted. Interesting. I’m still waiting it out as I would like to see it formally announced. ...

I’m partial to orange myself since my Sportcruiser has orange stripes and N numbers.

If torn - maybe make Titanium the base color and think about accent colors that work with titanium? Maybe red or blue?

Looking awesome, FastEddieB! What’s left to be done that the Certificate of Occupance will take 2 weeks? You’ve got hot and cold water, electricity, AC and an awesome bathroom. Seems like it’s just about time to move in!

I read somewhere a while back where it was going to be about $150k plus options like second screen etc. In 2014 mine was $115 plus $13k of options including paint. I’d figure the new model to be around $125k basic, plus $15k for the same options and paint. Add $18k for iS engine and $6k for second ...
