    This was good info. I’m looking to get in the market for a Luscombe next year. I’ve always loved that plane, and an all metal example should be able to live outside at the airport 5 minutes from the house. You’re bang on about renting. I had a low goal of 4-6 hours a month, and because of the challenges of scheduling rentals and weather cancellations I’ve barely managed an hour or two a month. I know if I have a plane I love five minutes away she’s going to fly just about any time I have a couple hours of free time and the weather is nice.

    You greased that landing at your home field. You're used to landing in grass uphill. Take a pilot who trained to land tail dragger on level concrete and he is going to struggle with the uphill aspect of the landing. I'd say take your concrete hops with pride because you've got the uphill grass landings figured out and that can be your field of expertise.

    The problem is that many drop out of flight training due to the onerous training requirements to achieve certification. The solution is to require CFIs to allow never ending discovery flights. Ie, the CFI is there for safety purposes only and does not require incessant maneuvers, short field, stalls, etc training unless he is requested to do so. Right now most CFIs refuse to do so, for some reason that baffles me.

    I got my sport pilot cert in 2018. Tailwheel endorsement, class B, C, D endorsements. I bought my Kitfox model IV in 2019. Flew it with a safety pilot from Minnesota to San Francisco. Have flown it solo to Oshkosh from California twice (4 day trip each way, over the sierras and wasatch) landing at the UL field, come see us at the red barn. I’m now building a series 7 supersport. It will have a 165hp 916is and MT CS prop. Once MOSAIC rules come out I’ll get my night endorsement and will probably build a Bearhawk 5. Also looking into RV-7 or VL3 for getting places. Do I care about not being instrument rated? No. I feel like the Sport Pilot cert fits more (actual, not imagined) missions than PPL. If you want to go commercial or have a family that you would like to fly a lot with PPL makes sense. I guess my long rambling comment is to say that SPL limitations are rarely limiting.

    What’s your opinion on a champ or something similar for “time building” I’m a private pilot with instrument rating and working on commercial, I am an A&P for the airlines and a simple plane to work on is ideal if I run into maintenance issues…..I’m trying to find a plane on a budget solely for time building, and of course to have some fun, 2 seats seems fine, maybe an occasional small cross country or I take a friend or my daughter flying, thanks, and I appreciate the videos

    • @prodigalpilot
      @prodigalpilot ปีที่แล้ว

      Depends. If you need to build instrument, night or multi time, clearly no. If just looking to build ANY time, sure! Any number of antique taildraggers would fit the bill. They are also the most fun way to fly, in my opinion.

    The FAA issued a revised policy a couple of years back making it very simple and inexpensive to upgrade older aircraft with shoulder harnesses (just takes a logbook entry) I'd make the suggestion that you look into it. I added them to my Champ for less than $200.
