In case you were referring to me and not Udie, thanks for the offer, but I have all the questions and answers in the book.

WTG! Zigrat..and welcome to the "brotherhood"
Couple of things to remember and practice.
1.If you want to fly on only 1/2 tank of fuel, try to fly on the TOP Half.
2. Flying is Mans second greatest thrill... Landing is the First.
3. The 172 is not "perked" as commonly thought.
4. It is considered Bad Form to complain to the tower that "that damn 747 is Warpy"
5. And finally... Flying through "hangar Row" at 10ft, while transmitting "dragging a 172" will not earn you any extra perk points.

All kidding aside, well done and enjoy.
FLY SAFE

You start flying with a bag full of luck and an empty bag of experience.  The trick is to fill the bag of experience before you empty the bag of luck

Here's me last friday in plane 207:

My wife and I on our three night four day adventure to Sun and Fun in Lakeland Fl. last month.

You need to go to Sun and Fun ond Oshkosh at least once now that you are a Pilot.

Great time, we had friends with three other AC and just overdosed on airplanes for four days.



Me with my two babes, It don't get any better then this.

That is a very good price for a c172. I pay $70.

Hi Lt. Sir:

I was noticing the front nose gear (wheel) and was wondering if that damper has less travel than a 172 ? And does that mean we can't land nose first with a good pogo stick landing.

And please tell me that ride has rudder trim.

Also wondering if the Sun and Fun thing is EAA sponsered like Oshkosh.

Thanks in advance sir. Continued happiness to you and your gals.

bumba.

Hi Bumba,

The strut is the same as a 172 with more weight on it, so you keep the nose up on landing to protect it a bit, this is one reason I don't want it used for training. The battery is in the back behind the luggage compartment to help with the weight a bit.

No rudder trim just strong right leg, btw the climb with me (250lbs) and no aux. fuel (25 gal). is about 1100 fpm initial.

Yes Sun and Fun is EAA in the spring every year.

Stall clean is 50 knots power off
Stall Flaps 40 is a mushy 38 knots, kind of indicated, as the ASI is dead at that angle of attack and I'm using the GPS for speed readings.

 
Thanks Bumba for you kind wishes, I am working on the wife getting her PPL.
