DJ, yes if you go at it that way.getting a new rating, but not simply an endorsement, complies with the requirements for the BFR. Always a good thing, in my opinion to add new ratings, thus new flying skills to one's repertoire. As Oscar said, each 150/152 is going to be somewhat differen

I have just returned from yet another beautiful flight in the Wisconsin skies. The wind is right down the runway at 11 mph and the skies are clear. The horizon was visible 360°. I now have 3.1 flight hours on the engine since it was rebuilt. So far all is perfect except when I checked the belly

I have flown a vairety of taildraggers, but have not logged a lot of time overall in them, due to thier not being as readily available as try-cycle planes at clubs and fbo's. That being said, I would reccommend trying out several different birds, if you can find them. It's been my experience that

KR> Prop Flange

2009-04-10 Thread Jeff Scott
The SAE-1 and SAE-2 prop flange standards only really specify the Bolt Circle Diameter as 4-3/8 for SAE-1 and 4-3/4 for SAE-2. The problem with that standard is that there are still a ton of variables such as drive lug size (5/8 vs 3/4), drive lug depth, bolt size (3/8, 7/16, or 1/2), whether t

Absolutely, YMMV:-) My thinking with a BFR is get something out of it rather than just get a pencil log book entry. Let the instructor have you short field land it, no flap landing, pull the power on you, soft field land itget something out of the instructor time, use him. If one is try

What's the big difference in the SAE 1 and SAE-2 Prop flanges is it just the bolt pattern or is it the weight of the prop it will handle or both etc. I know most are using a SAE-1 Prop flange but I can get either one or both. Does prop size come into the mix or the number of blades o

Well, I guess the old saying "your results may vary" applies to flying the Texas Taildragger conversion of the Cessna 150/152. It's been a few years since I flew that one and Dana's comments don't jibe with my experience flying a C150/150 but then again it's because it was a 150 and not a 152,

It won't be at all similar. I got a little stick time in an RV and it was similar. I believe that all that you will accomplish by getting time in the 152, will be to convince you that you must convert it to a nose wheel. If you do buy the plane and want to convert it to a nose wheel, which I am

Have one of those, in the trash now, never could see it. I was really hoping that there was a gauge with a needle that moved across it so you could really see the reading. Being a little big Red Green color blind, makes these impossible to see in bad lighting conditions for me. See N64KR at http
