Re: Plane upgrade took different turn

Hey Brad, That is great, congrats. I learned to fly in an LSA (a Gobosh). I think they make great training aircraft. As I recall you come up to KAPA sometimes. Next time you do, you might talk with Chris Dillis, one of the owners of Aspen Flying Club. They have a number of LSA's, as well as two DA-2...

Re: DA20-C1 cylinder temperature

I know this is an old post, but I thought I would mention I have seen this on our DA-20 flying in Colorado in the winter. We do run with the restrictor in the air intake (not sure this is a correct term). The POH says minimum operating temps for the CHT should be 240 degrees F. I basically leaned th...

Re: Diamond US Flyin - Reoccuring

Hey all, Great time yesterday. We really enjoyed it. Would be most happy to take part in another Diamond fly-in. Here is a link to a few photos we took from 380GF. https://picasaweb.google.com/111055830965088554277/Garden_City?authkey=Gv1sRgCJ-Tk8298vfFVA The winds were pretty high yesterday. We wer...

Re: Diamond US Flyin - Reoccuring

Hey guys,

Sounds great, looking forward to it. Unfortunately the Club keeps the DA-20s out on the line, so I spend about an hour preheating. Since I lose an hour for time zone change I probably can't make it much before 12 noon. See you this weekend!

Re: Diamond US Flyin - Reoccuring

Hey guys,

My email is mchargmg@comcast.net If going to Garden City the 16th, why don't you email me with contact info. I will pass it along to the other who do so. That way we can chat offline about times, and if weather turns bad. Looking forward to it!

Re: Tips for XC from KRUQ (NC) => KAPA (CO) => KRHV (CA) ??

Hi Chris, Make sure you go to the Perfect Landing at APA. It has good food, and a great view of the airport. When flying south from APA towards New Mexico, I suggest you do a 360 around Castlewood Canyon State Park, about 40 miles south of APA or so: http://www.parks.state.co.us/parks/castlewoodcany...

Re: Diamond US Flyin - Reoccuring

Hi guys,

Yes, that is the trusty DA-20, 571MA. It takes a much better pic than I do:-) Garden City sounds good to me. I will be there around 11 as well. Looking forward to it!

Re: Diamond US Flyin - Reoccuring

Hey guys,

This looks fine to me. I have never flown there, so at least it will be new:-) Seems funny they do not have a 9-27 runway being as how they are in Kansas!

cheers

Re: Diamond US Flyin - Reoccuring

Hi guys, I think I may be able to make the 16th as well. Let me check at work tomorrow. Are you set on Ponca City? If we did something like Dodge City KS, it would be sort of central to the three of us. I could get there in one hop (about 250 miles). I will still do Ponca City if you like. Just let ...
