"houstondan" wrote in message oups.com... nw...enjoy reading your stuff. keep 'em coming. as an owner wannabe (does holding-up convenience stores really make you a bad person??) i keep winding up at the conclusion that a 150/2 probably makes the most sense for me. for now. maybe. maybe that 160hp aerobat taildragger in trade a plane?? no, there goes the budget again. the use you are getting out of your 150 is sure encouraging. now, i expect this is a pretty stupid question but what the heck " do you have any kind of gps plan if the one and only motor does quit while above the mountain in the dark? known gps glide-to spots"?? dan I hate to admit it, but I may have to retract my earlier comment about not flying over the mountains at night. Like I said, I fly over the Sierras all the time. From the time I hit Tahoe, until I get to Placerville, there is literally NOWHERE to safely put it down. In fact, I don't think I could even walk away from the plane if I had to put it down. With that in mind, what difference would it make if it was light or dark outside the plane? I'd be dead either way, right? I don't know if I'll be doing it anytime soon, but it's definitely food for thought. Adam N7966L Beech Super III |
