How many instruments can I use for VFR?

Well, I can't say I've ever flown one, but hell.....I'll give them a try

Isn't there a semi-famous warbird (don't remember which kind) that has a name
and nose art something like "magic carpet?"

I could just be imagining it, but it would be a good name!

Perhaps I missed it (for obvious reasons) but where 'bouts did they
find the corrosion, and how much?

Just aft of the pilot side door, on the fuselage. There was paint bubbling
up, which I had thought was just a poor job in the paint. A little
scraping, and sure enough, corrosion. Interesting enough, not in a place
where water can sit, and on the inside, I don't have any leaks where the
spot is.

Well turns out, corosion X, primer and paint will fix it, but I now have a
cylinder problem to deal with (I posted this to rec.aviation.owning).

500 hours after a major overhaul, hard to believe I am talking about a
cylinder with low compressions.

Ah, the pains of ownership..... which will melt away once I get airworthy

Better to be finding out about this now instead of over Asheville one dark
night. Consider it a gift.

I thought this reply was great, even though the initial poster might
not need the information, he isn't the only one reading. I appreciated
the insight so the time was not wasted
Thank You.

All these "replies", and I can see how you are still confused. It's
been a while since my Prive checkride, but be expected to demonstrate
pilotage, dead reckoning, and use of navaids. Notice on the PTS that
both areas are listed. The reality is that it will depend on your
examiner. Most VFR cross country flight will involve some combination
of navigation skills- you have to get on that airway somehow, right?
On your checkride, note your time when you takeoff, and explain to the
examiner how you are getting from the runway onto course. Make all your
turns from point A to point B, and update your flight log times as you
go.This might satisy him/her that you have the skills. You are the one
planning your cross country, so make sure you know what you have
planned- examiners have a sixth sense for knowing what you don't
know,lol.
Also, there are a lot of things listed in hte PTS. You can expect that
the examiner will be lumping things together in the interest of time.
If you did everthing on the PTS individually, your checkride would last
all day. For example, they can combine a distraction with turns around
a point and evaluate how well you hold altitude all at the same time.
For my checkride, after we did the initial part of my flight plan the
examiner said that he wanted me to divert to another airport. he asked
me to figure out when and how we would get there, and to make it
happen. I was allowed to use everthing available to me- my charts,
navaids, but most importantly my training and common sense. I guessing
this will be the part where your pilotage and dead reckoning skills
will be most handy. They just want to make sure you are safe up there.
Hope this helps. Good luck and have fun on the checkride!

I think there was a General back in WW2 who had something in nose art about
a magic carpet on his airplane. It was a Gooney Bird if I remember, but
can't be sure.
Sounds like a name like that would be too good to pass up on :-))

You're not hearing me complaining when it was discovered, that you can be
rest assured having one fail in flight 3500 feet and 15 miles from
destination prior to my overhaul!

I told my wife, that plane is safer then both of our cars for all that is
checked out during the annual :-)

Both of them.
