Very nice!! Great cars and plane!! I have been wanting to get one of my E bodys down to the hanger. I have high wing plane= room for a car! It is getting stored there this winter and been wanting a photo opp too. LOL Nice deal you have there!! A year ago I would have never guessed I would be flying my own plane. Been flying it since April this year for a friend and bought it in July when I updated the panel. I knew you weren't gonna be able to resist buying your own plane!

I suggest you get into IMC as often as you can in your IFR training, I didn't get to do that much by taking my training in Phoenix,AZ. Also keep current one you get that rating My instructor said the same thing. I have 32 hours so far and only about 3 hours were under real IMC. I flew my long XC last week under the hood with my CFI, chapter 24 out of 26 in the syllabus. I need a few more hours XC so I have been flying a lot here lately.

I knew you weren't gonna be able to resist buying your own plane! It is Dick Weinle old plane. I was real nervous at first about flying it since it has sat for many years. But after 4 months of test flights and a annual that I helped with, it convinced me that it was a solid airplane to buy and he was willing to sell it. It is a 1980 with 1416 total hours when I bought it. I have put 82 hours on it since April. Plus I have flown some time in school planes earlier this year. Ate up with flying. Awesome!

That sounds like a really good airplane, Is it a 172 or 182?

Filling her with the good stuff! Been IFR training in this plane hard, try to fly twice a week with my CFI. You have some nice avionics. 2 G-5's, 650 and looks like a gtx 345 for ads-b. I been installing alot of those recently. This 2020 mandate for ads-b upgrade is starting to pick up and we have a waiting list now for install. Thank you...also a flight stream 510. Updates right off my Ipad and bluetooth flight planing transfers. With the 345 no more strautus2 stuck to my window for ADS-B in. I did make a mistake by trying to save money by reusing the old 385 as my Com/nav2. It was working as my com1 but now is not working very well. It is going back hopefully next week to get a garmin 255 as my com/nav2 with a new indicator. Crazy money!! My avionics shop is busy too. It took 3 months for me to get my plane in the first time. I want a GFC500 too, and they can not do that until next February.

Ran 100LL in a 12.5:1 440 for a few years and never had any problems. Ran just as good on VP 110. Local guy ran it for years in a 14:1 BB Chevy while spraying 2 stages of nitrous. I wouldn't necessarily recommend that, but it worked for him.
Always amazes me at the comments made about running this stuff in cars.

I was told early on that the two numbers used on the old aviation fuel was that the lower number was in the rich condition and the higher number was when you leaned the motors out Also all the 100 LL I've tested the specific gravity on was right at 690, never near 698 or higher The race gas I use to use was from 720 to 745, depending on the brand and type of fuel

Thanks for the info. Seems like av gas is better than sunoco 260 gt. Depends on the application and goals.
