I enjoyed the flyby of the 1958 Beech 18! Wish I could make the event but I’m packing for Vegas tomorrow to check out a plane for sale. I’m in the market for an IFR trainer that’s good for cross country. Top on the wish list is a Grumman Tiger or Socata Rallye 235 if anyone happens to know of one.
I happen to have an Acer X203H with a couple others. Is the system capable of running multiple screens?
I haven’t tried Condor yet but I own the new Microsoft Flight Simulator. I haven’t checked if 55L is in there yet. There’s a very active MS Flight Simulator Gliders group on Facebook. Anyone try MS Flight Simulator with Gliders yet? https://www.facebook.com/groups/1803376689823050/?ref=share
But it sounds like that is the wrong decision according to Mark’s DPE. Sounds like overflying a staged glider is a no-no. If landing 27 there are fewer obstacles and people left of the runway so I think the DPE would have preferred a slight jog left then once past the staged glider, realign to 27 and land. If I’m not understanding that, please let me know.
I like John’s idea. If we can make a tow setup for the tractor or lawnmower it’d be a great to add some redundancy. A tow dolly to get the Accord to where it needs to be fixed is $45/day. I can tow it with my wagon. But not knowing where exactly is the leak I can’t say how involved or expensive the repair. I also have a lift so I could tackle it but I’m not the fastest mechanic. Or if Art’s willing to work on it if we get it to his shop, I can tow it there.
Is there part of the fuel line that is good? They make kits to splice in and replace just the bad sections instead of pre-bent OEM lines. Probably under $100. Then again, I wonder if a used lawn tractor would be fast and capable enough to tow. Would take up less space in the hanger too.
