My 172 has an STC to remove the PAX door, the prior owner was a skydiver and wanted to jump from the plane. Several of his friends did a number of times. I have an STC in my paperwork for the removal..

On 8/24/03 I flew over to KGFZ (Greenfield, Iowa) to a flight breakfast and to visit their musem again. Upon landing, after I turned off the runway the pilots side tire blew out. A volunteer worker (he was a member of the sherifs reservves) helped me put the plane up on a four wheel cart thingy so I...

Mine is mounted on the yoke. I wasn't excited about that at first, but after using it that way for a couple of hours I wouldn't put it anywhere else..

It was over on the Cessna Owners Org forums I beleive. I also looked at the 295 as well but realy wated the newer technology in the circutry rather than the color. I've really enjoyed mine in the tme I've had it and could imagine getting anything else. Now, if they only had a color 196, hhhmmm.........

It's interesting looking, I'll say that much

George; wow, what a story. People are getting to the point of just being nuts these days. Too many regs and rules that really don't seem to accomplish anything but annoy us honest folks

Dave

Bruce; you are absolutly right! I think the TFR's are a load of crap. It's a typical knee jerk reaction to a situation, made by people who d not really understand. Since there is a SMALL population of us that fly and are effected, most people don;t see it as a problem. I agree, lets start banning se...

After reading this, it makes me appriciate all that much more how easy we have it in the Midwest. I'm in Iowa and I don't have to deal with any of this stuff....

I had my yokes powder coated by my company several monts ago. They look great! I had them use a textured powder coat as I did NOT want the smooth finish. With the slight texture it gives your some gripping power when your hands are sweaty

Dave

Does anyone have ony pictures they can send me of their plexi panels? I am looking to redo mine this winter and this sounds like an interesting idea.

WOW! Some funny stories there, thanks for the post

I agree, there is something about the straight tail that I really like, I just like the looks of it
