Well, guys, say hello to my new toy...

[Loco Honkey]

I bit the bullet and bought a Cessna 172 this weekend. I haven't had much time to enjoy it yet, and don't have pics online yet because I don't have intarnet at home, and my work PC doesn't have any drive on it at all- no 3.5 or CD... So, you'll just have to wait.

*edit- here's a few pics... not MY plane, but one just like it:

What the dash looks like for those that don't know how much is involved in flying:

 

[Slammed90Lude]

:woo: holy shit, you bought a plane? i thought you said they were incredible expensive to maintain when you include the cost of hanger, fuel, tuning etc- oh well, i hope it works out man- good luck

 

[Loco Honkey]

Yeah, I was sitting around this weekend and just said fuck it, and bought it. New, they're terribly expensive, but I got a good deal on mine.

 

[Seany-izzle]

[posol]

lol... NO COMMENT! Although, a TGIO-540 and a MacCauly constant speed would be sweet in this plane.

 

[chestercheeto48]

thats what i learned on, brings back memories

 

[Loco Honkey]

heh... Did you know that while the C172 is not rated for inverted flight, they make no mention of a positive G loading during inverted flight.

:roll: Cessna Rice-Ing at it's finest... :roll:


Congrats on the new toy......we will diffenately need to go up together...I still need like 26 hours for my private.

I had made the same plan, but I wanted to finish this year out with only cars.....I had plans next year to get my ass back to school, and get everything up to commercial pilots lic....since my company will foot the bill,...but I was going to get an old 310 Aztec...until I saw the AD on the spars, then I was thinking of just getting a Duke....why go with one engine...when twins are funner....hehe

Dont press your luck....until you do the annual...and if you have inspected every rivit and cable...

if your A&P is not current, then fly down here, and I'll help you out on the aircraft maintence...

That reminds me......I need to go get my IA, so I can do your annuals....

 

[Loco Honkey]

No, my A&P isn't current, and won't be again. I've forgotten too much and would have to go back to school again.

I joke about positive loading while inverted, but I have done it before in a C150- just a nice easy +2G barrel roll.

 

[CRX-YEM]

Loco do you have your pilots license yet ?

also there's meriden markam airport about 10 from my home as well.

you should start a hondswap charter flights lol.

 

[Loco Honkey]

Hondaswap Air.

I've been flying since I was 14 (I'm 26 now), and soloed on my 16th birthday.

 

[Tonyd0821]

can i ask how much that thing cost you?

thats gotta be at LEAST 75,000k ?


nice plane....

 

[Tonyd0821]

and feel like taking a short run down to an even shorter runway in mexico with me?

 

[Loco Honkey]

It's rude to ask how much something costs. I didn't buy it new, but close to it. As for the run... only if we're overloaded with Acupoco Gold. Hey, I gotta make it worth my while, y0!

 

[bigdaddyIII]

fucking sweet ass!

 

[Tonyd0821]

I know it's rude....

that's why i used the words "CAN I ASK YOU"


im jealous now.... :unsure:

 

[Loco Honkey]

So when's what you were talking about on PM gonna happen?

 

[Tonyd0821]

screw "acapulco gold" .....

Id load that sucker up with so much coke you'd be forced to change your name to Cocoa Honkey
