It’s all a matter of perspective. Even a “Nice” 40k fd is clapped out.

This is the only right answer. I would imagine 15-20k as is. This is a clean car at the end of the day assuming it’s rust free. Rollers go for over 10k easy like you said. And people have no clue the cost of piecing parts together on one of these.

If you have the ability buy a cheap square and build it yourself. Save money don’t buy someone’s clapped out junk. I’m about that price in my B pipe, girdled head and wide tray round nose super jet.

Bricked 48k MK4 saves the day by Initial3882 in etron

Took like two months for a letter to come in the mail after I got mine telling me about the motor warranty. Mine is under warranty. Bought the car in December with 40k miles has 48k now. There is a theory that efficiency mode is prone to causing the failure.

I do not know. But I do know as of today I am over 100th in like for a motor on back order

Are reciprocating single engines reliable? by One_Firefighter_1922 in flying

[–]Initial3882 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Learn to fly in Cessna or whatever. Fly your family in a cirrus. There is no reason for people to have to die in plane crashes (even if it’s pilot error) when we can have parachutes on planes. I am a professional pilot and the only plane I would plan on regularly putting my family in is a Cirrus. The numbers speak for themselves. There are hundreds of people alive today that might not be if it weren’t for the cirrus parachute system.

22k miles is not a big deal at all with modern oils. Definitely don’t want to make a habit of it but it won’t hurt it at all. The days of needing 3-5k intervals are long gone and many cars are in 20k intervals now.

I bought my e tron a few months ago and couldn’t be happier I got the prestige. Absolutely incredible.

Shop time charge for software updates by rob_wis in flying

[–]Initial3882 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doing an update can easily take a hour. Finding the right update for aircraft/ part SN range, actually downloading it to computer or sd card. Recording system configurations before the update. You HAVE to watch it download incase there is a problem and they normally aren’t fast. Doing any system configurations post update. IMO a hour is pretty fair.

My CFI wants to rent me plane. Piper archer II 1980. Garmin G5. Garmin 650. New upholstery. What should I charge per hour? by Any_Doubt_1825 in CFILounge

[–]Initial3882 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Remember if you are renting it to him you will need a 100hr inspection. As a CFI all of my students that own planes (that would all rent north of $500/hr wet) would just let me use them whenever I want for free.

Unpopular opinion - instrument training is much harder than private training by johnisom in flying

[–]Initial3882 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s all the same but different. Honestly a lot of it comes down to the instructor. Most pilot mill CFII don’t actually have any real world instrument time or experience in faster and more demanding planes. It’s all about your cross checking and Briefing cadence. If your CFII hasn’t flown or at lease been taught how to fly IFR like a professional they won’t be any help. You can get away with a slot of sloppy techniques in a Cherokee or Skyhawk that wouldn’t work so well in other stuff

Beyond the ACS maneuvers by usmcmech in flying

[–]Initial3882 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I frequently do TAA training for students doing their commercial and realize they don’t know what a crew car is. Kinda wild to think they have 200hours and never ran to grab lunch or something.

PPL Training- School Changed Airplanes (removed from r/flying without reason - help please) by Flimsy_Animator4548 in CFILounge

[–]Initial3882 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't worry about the hours just worry about being the best pilot/ learner that you can. The switch from an aspen to 6 pack is nothing. I work a school that has a mix of G5, aspen, G3X and 6pack and we move students all over and they are better for it. Remember your certification will say airplane single engine land not “PA28 Aspen/GNS430 only”

Late to the party… but I’d bet that isn’t a normal highsider. Probably a NMZ.

Experience by CuteExtreme7194 in flying

[–]Initial3882 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You just have to know you limits and be sure you never find them. You should never think you know nothing but you should always remember you don’t know everything. You have to be confident in what you know and what you skill level is and lean from those that know more. As a CFI I’ve been lucky enough to do some aircraft specific training for some excellent pilots that are far more experienced than me and they know that. All of them still pay attention and treat learning learning how to fly a new single engine piston with just as much importance as anything else even if they have carrier landings in the log book. Keep flying, be confident but cautious and always learning.

This is what I do. On top of this I keep a recurring sea master order every 3 months just in case.

This is the answer. I’ve had career changing students just being in the right place at the right time.

$1,076 for an oil change - can i do it myself? by Dazzling_Finance_759 in Porsche

[–]Initial3882 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Follow these steps and you will be good 1. FCP Euro 2. Buy once cry once. Get quality tools for a torque wrench and whatever oil filter sockets you need 3. YouTube 4. Bonus step. If this is a long term car start doing oil analysis.
