: "Highflyer" wrote in message ... ---------------snipped---------- The Tcart used to cruise at 100 in real life on a Continental A-65. I have flown several Coupes. Have yet to see 110 mph in level flight on any of them! Sometimes specifications are accurate, and sometimes they aren't! :-) Highflyer Highflight Aviation Services Pinckneyville Airport, PJY At one time, I marvelled at how much more capable so many older designs must have been--and then I learned that some of those old factory specs were just as imaginative as some of the earliest kits. Actually, many of them were quite accurate. HF is right, the T-cart would do close on 100 with an A-65 and so would a Luscombe. The Monocoupe 90 was very quick and the 30s Cessnas delivered as advertised as well. The aoirplanes that could be classified as "pilots" airplanes tended to do waht they said in advertising because if they didn;'t they would be found out pretty quickly. The airplanes that were pitched more at newcomers probably suffered more from exageration. Bertie |

I won't speak for Orval but I wouldn't buy such a lot because if the owners don't own the runway who ever does could sell it out from under you and you end up with a house with a big garage. There can still be problems. We had one in Wisconsin where a lawyer bought one of the lots. Built a nice house without a hangar. Then got the runway shutdown because of noise! Holy crap! if there were ever a case for justifiable homicide. Bertie |

What I got was a very clean record, all in all, there have been deaths, a few children....of reported actions and I'm doing a bit of guessing. What is hard to believe not in ASRS either (voluntary so sampling is speculative) is that there are /not/ any reporting functions for airparks. If they are clean of record, then you would think the insurance guys would have a reporting system or demand one. Maybe they do, I can't find it. -- Remove numbers for gmail and for God's sake it ain't "gee" either!

What percentage of landings happen off the airstrip? That % of landings could find you in someone's living room. I think houses off the approach and departure ends are a much worse idea. If you have such a bad wind/landing that you are going to hit my house 110' off the center line either you are planting a really large aircraft on 3,000' of grass or you need some serious recurrent training. Margy I agree, and might add that 110' from the centerline is pretty generous compared to some of the residential airparks that I have visited. OTOH, all that open space does give you that panoramic view you bought it for. :-) Peter Which makes people crowd their homes to the strip. That I can understand when first and second tier homes have obstructed views in most (near) beach residential developments. Not so "on the strip". -- Remove numbers for gmail and for God's sake it ain't "gee" either!

Apparently, you can't even keep up with who you are replying to. Nobody is denying that accidents happen.

Guess what, "Except for purposes of take off and landing" which is the expressed purpose of a landing strip, just what are you fishing for? |

Is the Subject Of This Thread too hard for you? Airparks; Living On The Beaten Path? You attack like a rabid Muppet on crack. It's clear as a bright summer day why you get the treatment you get almost every time you post. You foist the most ludicrous, self contradictory arguments I've ever seen anyone even attempt in my entire life, then try and defend them. You're absolutely insane. Obsessed.
