Re: Atlanta Layover? Help! Have you thought about flying out of Augusta? Round trips from there I see start at $393 round trip. Then when you return... Your there. :)

Re: Advice? A looker not an owner Using risingup.com I did a comparison between the two. You would defiantly see a marked improvment is speed, rate of climb and ceiling. Useful load at 50gal of fuel are about the same. Note: there are 112A’s with 68gal usable capacities increasing your range...

Re: New Shimmy Dampners Yes, I see what you mean.

Re: New Shimmy Dampners They can be rebuilt if you don’t have any cylinder damage. Replace the seals and re-service.

Re: Swift Unleaded Fuels The 102UL is what is suppose to replace the 100LL according to the site, but I might sacrifice a few horsepower for cleaner fuel thus making my oil cleaner too.

Re: Swift Unleaded Fuels yea, I saw that too.

I was nosing around the web and found at: https://swiftfuels.com The Commander 114's can be STC'ed for 94UL unleaded fuel. The 112's are not. My assumption is the higher compression. The Swift is anticipating approval from FAA end of the year for the 102UL which will pretty much handle...

Re: Nashville, TN Commander Owners Met Mark today. He drove down from Nashville early this morning to try and beet the heat. He asked a lot about the commanders in general and I believe he is impressed with them. Then went and flew for a while talking Commanders the whole flight. I think he...

Re: 112/B take off characteristics Very good description. :)

Re: 112/B take off characteristics May want to check weight and balance as well.

Re: 42W in Oklahoma! Dean, Pretty cool. About the battery, I learned a long time ago that if your battery is dead try and charge it before flying. A dead battery puts a lot of stress on the alternator and could damage it over time. As a kid with beat up cars to drive it would always happen...

Re: New Owner of N295TC Commander 114TC Welcome to the group.

Well John and I got together and went to Sun-In-Fun last Friday. We met in Enterprise and and off we flew. What an experience flying in. I’ve been several times before but always drove in. John was a big help on what to expect. We had a lot of fun meeting new people. Met one of the...

Re: Sun n Fun 2018 April 10-15 John, Do you have a link to the video on the Sun-In_Fun Site for aircraft arrival? I went through there site and can't find it. I know it's there "saw it before" but not in the logical places I would look. :)
