Which plane?
A friend of mine who is an experienced commercial and airshow pilot, but
who is not too internet savvy asked me a question today which I couldn't answer - but I am hoping that someone here can. He is currently looking to sell a brand new custom built aircaft which was built with one specific goal - to take the speed record for circumnavigating the world. Branson & Co scooped him so it's for sale. If you are interested let me know and I'll give you his address. Currently he is looking for a GA aircraft that will transport him and a 650cc Yamaha Sports Bike. He does not want to be taking out a seat just to get the bike in. He doesn't want to dismantle the bike to get it in. He would prefer 2 seats plus bike but would settle for one. He thought Helio Courier. I didn't think that he would get the bike in. Any suggestions? Thanks Tony Tony Roberts PP-ASEL VFR OTT Night Cessna 172H C-GICE |

Carl....after several hours of intense scrutiny of your financial
scenario, I noted a serious flaw in your plan: The last item in your spreadsheet, although wisely placed in the initial expense category, should also be budgeted in as an ongoing cost, perhaps even figured into an hourly reserve with a fairly reasonable amount expensed quarterly or even more often. In my case, I have found that a modest amount from the flying fund applied to the [wife] reserve category pays back immense divedends when I wish to use the [weekend at the airshow] or [take buddies to remote location] entertainment section. Of course, your results may differ. ;^) - - - - Al Gilson Skyhawk N3082U -- Al Gilson Spokane, WA USA 1970 VW Convertible 1964 Cessna Skyhawk |
