This is me on my 1300' grass strip behind my house...

Just had it repainted. The yahoos did not leave enough room for the N-Numbers when they painted the stripes. I just went through the process with the FAA to change to a shorter N-Number (N7UE). I pick the plane up today and fly it to the FSDO to get a new airworthiness certificate.

I owned a Piper Archer II before the Maule. I am now considering buying a hot air balloon.

Just to make my previous post more related to motorcycles, I thought I would mention that I had my plane painted FJR Blue. I hope that adds 10 knots to the cruise...

Private Pilot here. Just rent. Mostly 172's. Damn I would love to have that Maule in my backyard!

 

[Nosecone]

Great looking Maule, too many hobbies. What's the engine behind that 3-bladed prop?

PP, SEL, IFR. Sold my '76 Grumman Tiger after my '69 Citabria (150hp, fp) got torched and totalled. Took the money from both, bought a '93 Super Decathlon and two Harleys. Sold the Harleys, now have 2 FJR's. Time to downsize again. Oh, and I'm building a Team Rocket F1. Hopefully, I'll fly it to OSH next year.

Grew up flying with Dad in a V35B, and a Baron (Be55?). Slightly remember flying in a Musketeer. What a pig. Worse than a Tomahawk. I think I have 1 hour in a 172, and about 5 in a 170a.

Flew an R22 for about 15 minutes a couple years ago. First time in a heli. That was a blast.

Buddy of mine (CFII, Chitaqua captain) just bought a 2 seat Pitts. Time to finish my checkout in that! WooHOO!

Just rode my FJR to a higher altitude than I have ever PIC'd a plane. Was IFR on THAT ride for a while too! I trust my wings a whole lot more than the slippery crappy roads going up Mt. Evans, especially when you can't see the edge, or the mountain goats jumping out in front of you...

Private w/Inst.... mostly C-172, some time in C-404, Lear-28, JS31, C-Caravan, and B727(best of all, but not official)

 

[ionbeam]

Earned VFR powered license and flew a rental Cessna 152 out of Beverly, MA. Sail planes are awesome! Flew a Schleicher ASW 22B out of a grass airport in Salem, NH. Earned a Hang III rating with a Wills Wing U2 hang glider. After a couple of significant orthopedic catastrophes I’m now a groundhog, all flying is done on two wheels.

My Maule has a Lycoming IO-540-W1A5D, 235 HP. The following is a link to a video showing me taking off in 140' at a local airport. Maule STOL I could climb over a 500' obstacle at the end of my 1300' grass strip. The cruise speed is 130 knots, 150 mph. It has a -7 degree flap setting that adds about 3 knots to the cruise. The M-7-235 is a 5 place airplane.

 

[tripletango]

Commercial multi engine land rated haven't flown for years after 1000 hours in all sorts of planes.

These days prefer a tipple in the cheep seats of assorted commercial carriers!

That's what I was going to say Tom. You beat me to it :lol:

 

[C&C]

If this counts, then I do; if it doesn't, then I guess I don't. Probably I don't. :clapping: to those that really do.

 

[Nosecone]

USAF and the airlines, 35 years total.

 

[ROADHAZARD]

LOW AND SLOW. SIX-CHUTER POWERED PARACHUTE. ROTAX 503 SINGLE CARB.

 

[OHFJR]

Private VFR pilot here some 12 years ago. Flew 172's, Gruman Tiger mostly.

 

[Tbone]

Falcon 2000EX and Gulfstream IIB. Currently in school getting typed in a GIV. Sold a share in a DG-101 sailplane to buy my first motorcycle (BMW R1150R).

Pilots are gay.
