Борис: Добро пожаловать в группу. Как вы уже начинаете понимать, эта группа просто поражает своей готовностью помочь. Несмотря на то, что я владел N114SE только около двух лет, у меня возникали некоторые неожиданные проблемы с ней, и каждый раз, когда что-то появлялось, и я обращал на это...

Re: New member Welcome Aboard Gary - Great to have you and you'll find the COG to be incredibly knowledgable and helpful !!!

Re: Oshkosh 2019 Thanks to all who have responded on this so far as well as those who may comment on this post in the future !!! As has been mentioned, as we get closer to 2019's Oshkosh, I'm sure plans will begin to come together. Personally, our plan is to start on the West Coast; Grand...

Re: Oshkosh 2019 Alright, this seems to be a good place to ask. Never been to Oshkosh - planning on going in 2019. So, I'm a total newbie on EVERYTHING. If I had my wish list, it would include: Camping near other COG Folks Getting to know as many COG Folks as possible Enjoying the event for...

Re: Costa Rica to 1WA6 (WA) July Gonzalo: Sadly, I missed this entire posting until now (09 July 18). My name is Rik and I'm the guy that lives 8 months in Tamarindo and 4 months on the Central Coast of California. First off, as my Friends in Australia say "Good-on-ya-Mate" - I'm really glad...

Well, I did it - I went ahead and bought myself one of those "Air-O-Planes" Like many of you, it has been a long-time dream of mine but, when the opportunity to purchase a 1976 / 114 owned by Mark Burry, the planet's kind of lined up and I went for it. As such, as of Thursday, 22 June 2017, I...

Re: New Member from Costa Rica and the Central Coast of CA Gonzalo: Very nice to "meet" you and thank you for your response. I'm excited for you on the new addition of your 114 into your Family. The flight in your 114 is probably a major improvement over the normal 4-5 hour drive to...

Re: New Member from Costa Rica and the Central Coast of CA Joel: Thanks for touching base - it's too bad, in that Tamarindo is where my home is and I was there when you were. Yes, the airport there can be a bit challenging (long enough but, not to wide). Although they just repaved the runway...

By way of introduction, my name is Rik and, although I’ve been visiting the site for quite some time, I am excited to have finally decided to join the COG. I’m an instrument rated pilot but, unfortunately, I haven’t been flying for the last 5 years or so (let’s just say, divorce is expensive)...
