This video has been incredibly helpful in helping me decide NOT to take this project on. This was incredibly satisfying and you are a master of your trade, but I am going to enjoy this from a distance only for a while!

You wish your Mooney could take off like that! 👀

how much

Miss Placerville N310JP lived there, many happy flights

Hope you have enjoyed it? 😂😂😂😂😂 more than that! Made me to remember my early days with a 182 cessna with the flying school. Now I'm 64 on retirement. Thank you for a great.video, with a great pilot on a great airplane. Greetings from Mexico.

You Sir, are a Boon to the Aviation Community!

HI Mr Mark! Just Found your Chanel, and I Love it! Liked and Subd. The BEST THING about you and your channel is that you are not like other Aviators because you are interested in MORE then just aviation. I mean, how many other pilots can make a Chair out of a Barrel , catch Bob Cats, run a Hotel, and all the REst of it ??! Brilliant!

❤ very good short explanation

I love my 170b... not nearly as nice as this one but what 170 is!?! Thanks for the walk through. You gave me too many ideas 😅

A brief mention of real world performance would always be welcome. As always, thanks for the videos!

just for reference, how tall are you? Interested to know how much space above my head I would I have in that cockpit

🤗

So would $800 in fuel be a good estimate for his trip?

Hey Mark! Do you remember Pink Floyd on the tarmac? Nice plane!

loved my deb time with a io470 little tight for a tall guy and no left door but bananza stought😂❤

How does one sideslip with interconnected controls ?

Haha! Mark! The transcript for your astonishingly detailed and fascinating presentation runs Two Hundred Six Pages! (206!)

Thank you! Another great video.

Absolutely love the drop-shadow numbers!

I took many rides in a Champ as a teenager. My dad was the president of our local RC club, they operated out of a small (2200’ runway). The Champ owner leased the airport from the township for $1/yr. He was great to give us rides. His didn’t have electric.

With the AD that installs the 'strips' on the wing leading edge - it stalls/spins much like a C-152. The cabin is spacious. I have long legs and it's the only small 'trainer' plane where I can move my seat forward a notch! Love it.

👍

A wealth of knowledge!

repairing an aircraft is a very serious and responsible business. I can’t imagine how much you need to know and what kind of practice you need to have to do this kind of work. My full respect guys!!! big like and sub

Awesome as always!!! Thank you

Bounce Bounce (:

You mention Robertson in your discussion. He was involved early on with Wren. My brother worked for Wren in the 60's and our family was around when 00W was the prototype. Got to ride in it at the Reading airshow around '63 or so. The whole beauty of it was that it did lift off relatively level and not hang on the prop like a Helio or others. Great Video. Thanks for posting it...

Wow...That XP taxis fast :>)

Awesome video...Thank You!!!

Great video as always. One data point: I have a 1980 PA-28-181, which should be essentially identical to the 1984 Archer, and I get more like 125 kts TAS in cruise, not 110. I've been very happy with my Archer - as you say, it doesn't get much simpler, and is faster than I expected. Also, one question: you mentioned your M20E is High Performance. I thought that was only for greater than 200HP, and that 200HP IO-360 planes (like an Arrow I once flew) were not High Performance wrt endorsements (though they are "higher performance"). Thanks.

Planning on doing any vids for the C-404 you guys have at the moment? It's a bit bigger than the usual stuff in your vids but a beautiful plane that might deserve a video.

Poor plane!

Great info, thanks

I love my 182, but honestly I don't think you can go wrong with anything Cessna (152, 172, 182, 206). Just plan your typical mission in terms of useful load, # passengers, and to some extent, speed.

They’re so popular they weren’t able to replace the 172😂

Beautiful plane. Looks like it was pampered for sure.

If it wasn’t so far, I would be interested in that golf, I do own a Mark 1 pick up diesel. In Illinois. Interesting to see that aircraft by the guy from IL who passed, looks like an aircraft accident unfortunately.

Nice video Mark, as usual. A lot of details. In a further opportunity, I would like to see Cessna 188 (AG Husky, Wagon, Truck, Pickup) models changes and heritage from other Cessna.

Another great video! You should try to con your old boss onto the podcast for an interview. Don't know if the internet couldn't handle that much knowledge in one video.

merci

Greetings from Cape Town. I had a Cessna P206-0500 and I see this one is a P206-0391. Unfortunately I lost my P206 in April 2002 in a hangar fire, but I still have 2 U206”s.

Another great video.

Thank you, Mark. Always interesting.

Great video, Mark!

Geek away buddy, we love it❤

I have a 182, but dream plane has always been the P206. But I hate that chin! So I guess my needle in the haystack new dream plane is a ‘70 model. Dream on…

I used to haul jumpers at a Colorado DZ in this birds older brother N4635F, a 1966 TP206A. Awesome bird, now destroyed.

Mark, I truly enjoy your videos and appreciate the time and effort it takes to make them. Ted from Vero Beach, Fl. the home of Piper corp.

Hey Mark, I have a Mooney Acclaim feel free to reach out if you are interested in chatting about it.

Mark, i want to see you start jumping in all these "real seats" and the occasional "child seat" getting in and out of the 2nd (or 3rd ) row is valuable information for potential cross shoppers...Also nobody wanted to call you today???
