Hi Phil. Definitely took a hit on the empty weight. I want to say around 35-40 pounds after all is said and done.

Hi Phil. I don't have the new W and B in front of me right now but it is pretty near a full one inch forward on my C of G after the HS install. Keep in mind that this one inch forward comes after already having reduced my front end weight with an MT prop, Skytek starter and then also installing...

I suggest KMRY, Monterey California. It covers everything on Glenn's list previously posted. Some highlights are: - Golf coarse within walking distance - Plenty of aircraft parking, two FBO's with hangars. Reasonable fuel prices. - Resort hotels nearby (some on the water) big enough to hold our...

Something in the West would be great!

Wow, SAJ is a nice looking bird! Congrats on the partnership group!! That must have been an incredible flight getting her home....

Hi Steven. Welcome and congrats! I am just west of you at CYKA. I tested out a 112 near Vancouver when I was first looking - I can understand your need for some more power flying out of YBW! The Hot Shot would be perfect for you.

Hi Nathan. Nice bird you have there! I am south of you in Kamloops. If you ever fly through here shoot me a message. I have yet to see another Commander on the field here.

Thanks for taking the time to post that. Looks like you did a good job of both the flying and telling the story afterwards!

Les, what was the company that you found a 7116-2 at for around $300? Anyone have a spare they want to part with?

Carl, what do you think the odds are of you bringing back the Hot Shot? On a scale of Pipe Dream to In Stock Next Year?

Hi Lawrence. I have been following your post about the IO540 in a 112. I was wondering if you could tell me why it is that an IO540 is safe (fuel wise over in the EU), but not the IO360 that is in your bird? Secondly, your dilemma is making me think about a solution that is a little out there...

Every year we do a poll about the desired dates, and that is a great thing to do. I am newer here, relatively speaking, so maybe I have missed it before, but is there ever a poll early in the year on the location? I am sure KFRH is superb, don't get me wrong, just asking out of curiosity.

Interested to see what the early bird price will be. I’m likely down for one.

Unreal! What a flight. I simply can't believe you got all those chairs in there. That is such a great story and awesome trip!
