George - I get your drift about the lack of curbs on grass fields. But seriously, almost no one will insure the heavier trike airplanes on grass fields. I forget the exact tire size of a Bonanza nose tire, but with the weight that's on that small tire, it acts like a knife in soft ground. I've got a...

Bush Flying article in Flying
I haven't yet read it; perused it only. There's an article in this month's Flying magazine about bush flying near home - stuff like landing on beaches and sandbars. Before you try it, be sure to read your insurance policy. Many totally exclude any intentional, off-airport landings. They don't exclud...

Again, welcome. On my 170B I had straight axles. But I flew many hours, including a trip all of the way across the continent in a Cessna 180 with crosswind gear. I'm going to take a big risk for this group, and say that I love crosswind gear. I'm an experienced tailwheel pilot (about 1500 hours in t...

Hi John - Allow me to relate what I went through. In 1980 we bought our 170B because my wife was expecting our child, and our Cessna 150 wasn't going to hack it anymore. We flew mainly locally and very short x-c flights. Then, we flew a trip from here in central Ohio to the Carolinas and Georgia. Wh...

Back in the late 1980s I was involved in a case that required sevreal days worth of depositions in the Ft. Worth area. One of the local lawyers suggested that we all go to Joe T. Garcia's one evening. We did. The plaintiff's lawyer (Ed) was a mid-60s aged gentleman, and he was a true gentleman. We a...

George - Your experience with different brokers getting different quotes for the same insurance is odd - in light of the industry standard that each company will only quote once for each risk, and decline a quote to another broker. How'd you manage to get different quotes from different brokers from...

Joe- I sense frustration in your message, but allow me the courtesy of a response in a gentlemanly tone. Frist of all, remember that we have a jury system in this country. No matter what you think of lawyers and judges, it is common folks, sitting on juries, who award verdicts - nobody else does. If...

Eric and Bela - Let me first address Eric's comment. I have no tolerance for those who insult others. If a person has to get his humor at the expense of another's feelings, I have little use for that behavior. It's juvenile and immature. There are, for sure, dishonest people in every line of work. B...

Gary - Read George Horn's previous comments about pre-buys. There is really no such thing. Get an annual done, it has a defined scope and detail. As for insurance, get ahold of a broker right now. Get your quotes, and tell the broker that you are looking at this airplane, and may need to buy it, and...
