    Well you definitely get points for having a cool place to hunt. Florida has nothing like that to offer. Hunting here isn't as fun as my brothers property in South Carolina. One day I would love to go on a hunting trip like you guys do one day.

    About 385 miles away . How come you aren't going to complete it ? Looks like you were doing a good job with it . If it's not my business no problem , just curious. I'm helping a guy right now that was on the edge of selling his project for a little bit . We went out did some work on it and now he's back into it .

    Ehhh I have a couple duplicates but not 10 of each . Gotta love Florida's laws about guns . My wife has family in Massachusetts and they say it's a pain to get some license to just own a rifle .

    Uhoh what do they consider over 30 guns and a 50 bmg mixed in there ? If 10 is a arsenal I guess I'm in trouble .

    I'm lucky to be good friends with a IA . He doesn't charge me anything and in return I weld and powder coat stuff when he needs something done

  14. chopndrag added a post in a topic Takeoff and Landing styles   

    I can't answer for taildraggers but I usually come in with power on my avid speedwing and it makes a world of difference. My Loehle liked having power for landings too.

    With being a student pilot insurance will definitely be higher . There are several companies you can try just like car insurance.

  18. chopndrag added a post in a topic 2 blade or 3???   

    I haven't personally tried a 2 blade on my avid but have with other airplanes. My dad and I did the prop dance with a Excalibur and ended up using a warp drive 3 blade. After all that I just stuck with warp drive . I was actually really happy to see that my avid came with the 3 blade tapered tip . Sorry no real advice for the avid but it seems having that extra prop for more bite seems to help.

    No problem , the primer line is 1/8 inch and everything else is 1/4 . I'm pretty sure that's standard on most planes . Steve
