That expensive Anniversary
It is my tenth anniversary owning an airplane. It has been an expensive one.
In the last year.... I have installed a new HSI(old one just kept spinning), Re-built both magnetos, replaced my fuel pump, replaced the Oil filter adapter, (that's everything on the accessory case!) replaced my Attitude indicator and my engine preheater died. Now my GPS screen went blank on the way work this morning. The unit continued sending out position info to the HSI, but absolutely nothing on the display. Cost to repair? About 1 AMU and 4 weeks. I think I found a shop willing to loan me one while mine is being repaired. So I am beginning to feel like I am married to a high maintanence man. ;-) Hopefully she will be good for another ten years. Michelle |

"Sounds to me like you're still doing better than an engagement ring" was my thought.....And the plane will carry YOUR baggage, you don't have to carry it's. Hope you have a safe and healthy relationship that lasts a loooong time. z |

Going through a lot of money is she? Yup, that's pretty common. I believe they call it Shopping Syndrome by Proxy - your plane breaks so you will have to go out and shop for parts for it. No cure really. Montblack :-) |

Yup... Like having a crack habit... Except it leaves you physically and
mentally capable of working to get more AMU's without having to resort to stealing TV's... And when you have two engines sucking up AMU's it gets to be even more fun... denny |
