My Centennial "Jonsson Sonerai 2L" N8050R currently set up as a 1 place. Continental A50? with early up exhaust ('38 cub)and upgraded to 80HP. McCauly Met-L-Prop 65x60. Burns 5GPH at 138 MPH indicated at 4000' field elev. Soon to redo the cowling and may replace the jugs to down 4 into 1 exhaust if someone can help me find a couple more cheap A-65 cylinders. Have considered putting in the O200 crank and C85 cylinders by flycutting the case. Fun and fully aerobatic. I've pulled 6g coming out of a 210+ mph dive. Someday may add the forward seat and a Sonerai canopy. Flew to OSH in '04 and have over 250 hours on it.

I am restoring a '49 A35 Bonanza and will upload more photos soon. I need a left nose gear door, a right ruddervator, a right flap and a good beech electric prop. Will have 0 time engine, virtually all new hardware, interior, windows, paint... a new 1949 plane.
Have a GNS430(28 volt) that I need to sell or trade for a 12v GNS430.
If anyone knows people with parts, please forward my info or contact me!

no big surprise, have had a 1946 Champ, 1944 SNJ-5 and now another two-seat trainer, a 1951 T-28A. One com, one txp and a Garmin 396. A very pilot friendly and sweet flying plane.

Here are some pics of our 1976 Piper Lance.

6 seats, 1450 Lbs useful load, 155+Kts, 96 gal usable @ 15.5 GPH a true work horse!

**don't laugh too hard at the pic of me with the black eyes! My wife placed a large wooden sign atop our weight bench/machine... guess where it landed!!!

Yeah baby!! Nice bird!

**PittsS2APilot** · #16 09-06-2008, 05:22 PM

Its a 1982 Pitts S2A. Original paint and fabric and very pampered. This Pitts was one of the last "A" models so it got several of the "B" model upgrades they were phasing in. I've got the B wings, fuslage and the taller main gear. Engine is a Lycoming AEIO360A1A, 200 hp, fuel injected. Max "rated" G's are 6+ and 3- but she can do more if you can stand it. Low approach at 180mph you can pull vertical to around 1200ft (Im at sealevel too) before having to push over. Vne is 204mph. Landing blind is a ***** though! lol Joe

Beautiful plane.
That would be one intimidating taildragger to land in a crosswind...or even not in a crosswind!!!!
Wow!!

Very sanitary office on the 28 Russ. Nice job. Have a few hrs in one a few years back. Smooth airplane.

My 2008 Cirrus SR-22 G3 GTS.

Plus a couple of pics in my buddy's same aircraft heading over to Penang, Malaysia in the early morn (sorry, I know a little off-topic but fun shots nonetheless so I thought I'd include them).
