My problem is I don't get to meet the nice ones. I know they are out there somewhere.

Hey guys,

Sorry I've neglected the forum for a little while, things got real busy at work.

Anyway I am finally situated at work where I can take a little time off and bring the 108 over to GA for CA, so I thought I would bump this thread up again.

Thanks

Looks like legaly you can only take half the gas and half the oil. You can legally give instruction in your plane and just charge for half the expences. If the plane gets bent up while giving the dual what would the insurance guy say.

If you waited tell March 5th you can stop at cave man. If you can wait tell June, I would fly to LA, park the plane, fly with you then take a comercial home. Cheaper than a trip to Disney Land.

As a CFI on a part 61 training flight with a aircraft that is under it's 100hr I could charge for the fuel, plane and myself if I wanted to.

True. Apparently legally.
Whatever the market will bare.......
One thing that hurts the desirability/value of your 'product' is the need to purchase some form of transportation on the other leg of the trip-if the 'instructee' isn't also relocating......

Just a thought...

You do realize this is 16hrs dual, 16hrs Stinson and only asking someone to pay about $50-60hr for fuel right???!

Someone gets some good tailwheel/x-country time, I get my airplane moved, seems like a win, win to me

And as a CFI with a plane that is has a current 100hr on her, this flight is 100% IAW with part 61, your market is not a factor.

To be honest, doesn't matter much to me, I'd love to fly it for the cost of fuel. I keep trying to find anything around here to fly for the price of fuel and even put my A&P to work in trade just to get some flying in...no luck. I just started this new job, so I don't have vacation time yet, only a sick day or two that I could probably burn, or maybe take a day or two without pay...but as it goes with flying XC, you never know what days work for anything. So not sure I could do this with ya anyway. Saving my money back up to buy another Stinson or a Pacer...hopefully one I can do my IR in. Still trying to build time to get my Commercial, and hopefully one day be a tailwheel CFI as well with my own plane.

.....if I wanted to

I think gas only is a great deal.
I was referencing your statement that I quoted.........
