1. NO 2 strokes. 2. Modest price. 3. Decent speed(for the plane of course). I'm thinking used O-200, but if there are better options I'm hoping to hear. The Rotax 914 turbo seems ideal, but the cost is gak.

The recent dust up between AOPA and EAA here has led me to pose a mission question for the good folks at AOPA. Lets see if we can help them buy a plane, after getting rid of the jet(like that's ever going to happen). So, you know who the players are, you kinda know the mission. I would say...

Channeling Manilow; feeeeeeeelings,,, nothing more than feeeeeeeeeelings. Ahem - back to our regular program. I've noticed before, and again a few days ago that when I fly low, around 3-6k altitudes, I'm comfy, almost complacent about the flight. No stress, no strain, or anything like the tight...

http://www.sonexaircraft.com/subsonex/index.html In conjunction with EAA sport av mag, Sonex has gotten to the point with their mini jet plane that they are starting to take position deposits. Why is this different than other companies that have done similar? Well, the sub-Sonex is a real...

So, I got a nice lawn tractor, that I like a lot and does a pretty nice job. I just replaced the batt, and the deck belt, and did a tune up. Really snappy running. But, I need to have my beer handy without keeping it literally, in hand. So, I need to mount a cup holder. Darn Craftsman, put the...

Let me begin. I love skiing, hockey and have a bizarre interest in women's curling. Mebee cause the Finns last time were haute. So - post it up. The Canadians are mad at the flying Tomato; http://sports.yahoo.com/news/snowbo...canada-s-bold-olympic-attitude-154013678.html Anyone taking a PDA...

I know each plane is specific, but lets say one wanted to extrapolate the approx take off distance for various altitudes? Ex: Under STP conditions, plane brand C uses 755 feet to take off at max gross sea level. Proposed; brand C is at 8000' and temp is now 30F. Stated svc ceiling is 16,000'...

I don't have AOPA flight planner any more. I would like to plan a trip from key West to Cancun. can't find any tools to plan this flight online. Thanks,

Man, as I work out the deal on my NM property which is off-grid except for a propane tank(so not really off grid at all), I'm finding my down to earth, logical, engineering mindset isn't fitting well into the mantra of the 'community' of off-grid folk. I've been communicating with a few of my...

Anyone seen a $5 footlong lately? I went into a Subway last week and it was $5.25, I thought it was a fluke because of the location of the store, but I went in today in IA and it was also $5.25. Hmmmmmmm? Wonder if that's all done? Yes - I really am a cheap basta.... Excuse me I have to go...

Can be exp or cert. Remember, cheap and stol and 2 seats. Operating at 6000 feet with 2600 gravel runway. Lets see what we can do.

http://aviation-safety.net/database/record.php?id=20130429-0 By the sound of this, it's a load shift on takeoff, aft CG and loss of controlled flight. Sad that we have to even be there, but that's a different zone.
