I worked as a Conductor on the railroad. I used to fly my new 79 Tiger down to Milford Utah from Salt Lake 180 miles with 1 1/2 hour call. I was on time there more often than I was working out of Salt Lake I would sometimes, knowing I was going to get called within a 8 hour window, would fly down to Milford. Bunk down in the fold out bed after taking my suitcase motorcycle out of the back. They would drive out to the airport and wake me up for my cal to go to Las Vegasl. What an adventure! ‼️

Who built the LEM? Grumman Apollo Lunar Module/Manufacturers Lunar Module (LM), built by the Grumman Corporation in Bethpage, NY, was the vehicle that would take two astronauts down to the lunar surface and return them to the waiting Command Module in lunar orbit.

On the serious side, I was looking at a Mooney 201. The answer you are looking for is, "it depends". The decision will be easier once you know the mission. The 201 will cost more, it will have higher maintenance costs, and burn more fuel (200HP). Now here is the advantage of the 201. It is 20 knots faster, it burns less fuel per mile (10.4 Gallons per Hour doing 155+ knots). If you fly a significant number of hours the 201 will end up costing less overall. if you are using it for a business, then the 201 might even get things done that the Tiger simply cant (visit more customers within a time-frame). These are pretty remote scenarios. The truth is, 99% of the time, the Tiger is the better bet (unless speed is the only consideration). I bought a Tiger and now see the 201 as a "not so necessary airplane". Compared to a Cessna 172, the 201 for me was the only option. The fuel savings alone would make the 201 cheaper overall than the 172. But the Tiger changed that equation. the Tiger is an overall efficient machine, both from a fuel and ownership perspective!

Love the video! I regularly fly a Traveller owned by a friend of mine and I am also the check pilot for anyone wanting to fly it. One of these chaps is taking his private pilot instruction on it and is so enamoured by it it that he bought his own Cheetah this week. I did my own Class 2 Instructor recurrency flight test in it a few weeks ago and joked with my examiner about some of the same things you did. Your joking about the Mooney comparisons is also personally amusing since I am also the check pilot on a loaded Mooney with full glass cockpit and all the Lopresti mods you can get! Your video on the biannual flight review was also hilarious. Man was she a good sport. Keep up the great work!

In the mid 1970's we used to put 600 pounds of 4 adults every weekend with full fuel on traveler and Cheetah 150hp. Then in way back from buying liquor at discount we used to insert a case of 4 liters under each of the seats (They fit perfectly there), take off short field style on windy conditions, crosswinds or not, and fly 100 miles back. Did that over 20 or 30 times. Was outside USA. Was normal on that airport to fly overloaded by 20%. 30 percent they didnt allow that but.. It happened a lot. We were crazy Grumman Pilots. I rented them for 30 dollars an hour. Full IFR for 33 to 35 dollars. Only 1 to 3 year old airplanes at that school. Some brand new for 33 dollars an hour. Lots of fun flying to pick up cheap liquor at certain discount outlet 92 miles away. Then use that liquor at local parties that night. LOL. 1970's we were... not too careful.. But.. I became a dam good pilot doing those overloaded flights. Was hired due my Grumman experiences. The part 135 operator next door only hired Grumman School pilots. Not Cessna or Piper schools.

Just now seeing this video! First off, freaking hilarious!! Could not stop laughing. Second, I have just started flying an AA5. The airport close to where we are staying in OR has one for rent (the 172 is down hard). Super fun plane to fly, but one thing you neglected to mention is the absolute lack of headroom if you are of a taller stature. I'm 6'4 and with my headset on, I had to keep my head ducked down on the first flight. The mechanic told me I could take the seat cushion off and was kind enough to cut some egg crate foam for me to use. That actually worked out pretty well! Perhaps they need to do a canopy mod to create a bubble or dome for taller people to use?? Sorry for rambling, but just wanted to let you know! Keep up the awesome job and the funny vids! Fly safe!

Roll and pitch were much more 'sporty' and they controls were tight and crisp. It looks kind of like a Vans RV 12(?).
