new here...

Just a quick post to introduce myself. My real name is Pete and I live and fly in beautiful BC, Canada. I'm a proud new owner of a '58 175 that's currently sick (I'll save that for another post/category). I'm also a partner in a '72 150 (for sale).

Love this site and look forward to learning and contributing.

Cheers.

Welcome Pete! And welcome to the sick plane crowd. Mine has been sick for over 2 years :( I'm just a bench flyer right now. Enjoy this site and hope you get your plane going back and healthy real soon!

Re: new here...

Thanks all. My first barrage of questions is in the maintenance section.

Matt, a Stinson 108 was on the top of the heap for me. I was really wanting one of those but just couldn't pass up the deal on the 175.

Yours is beautiful.

Pete

Thanks Pete. Sounds like you got a smoking deal on the 175, I hope to see it flying soon. ;)

I'm in the Vancouver area. Ok, even worse- Surrey. Why? Well, family & work mostly.

I've spent some time in the north but never lived there. Have always wanted to give it a try though. Just have to figure out how to bring along the work and hopefully the family too :wink:.
