Anybody else here flown the Mudry Cap10b and the Grob 109 Motorglider? If so you probably went to the same school I did at least for awhile...
Also PA-28 (Warrior and Arrow), PA-32, PA-44, BE-58, C-150/152/172/172RG/182/206/210, SR-22, PC-12 (I miss you Pilatus)... I think that about covers it... :nana2:

My couch is a sealy.
At work the seat is "fluffy" but I am able to get it set up pretty good. Watching multiple TV's at once is fun to do every once in a while.
According to my logbook pro sheet I have entries for the following:
CL-65, C-310/340/210/206/182/172/152/150, BE-200/90/58/55/76/35, SR-22, DA-20/40, PA-44/32/31/28/28R.

Are you using the export feature of LogTen, getting it e-mailed to you, then importing it into LBP? How does that work out for ya? My Treo is dying, I don't want to pay an appendage for the Treo Pro, so I'm pondering the dark side. As long as I can keep LBP, I might be open to the iPhone.

nope... I still sync my iPhone with a PC and have always used LBP so I just use the little red book on the trip and transfer the entries to the big logbook and logbook pro. Takes me about 15 minutes per 4-day trip. I was trying to get the logbook program to work with the developer of the iPhone app that was a logbook program for PC but the logbook pro guys threatened us with a lawsuit if we went further. It's a shame they refuse to allow logbook pro to work on anything mac related.

The -3 was a 'grin machine'. I was in the USAF at the time so it was actually a C-47. The right seat guy, an old Lt.Col., got out and I jumped in. We were up in Canada looking for towers the bombers could avoid while ingressing on low level routes. The -47 was the base hack and used by the guys in the command post.
Anyway, we were in and out of wx and I quickly found level flight on the copilot's J-8 attitude indicator was about 5deg of right bank. As we slipped in and out of the clouds, water would drip in. I then realized why some of the old guys said they kept slickers in the cockpit to keep them dry. I mentioned what I thought was a problem with the attitude indicator to the left-seater and he said, "Yep.. been that way a long time." End of subject. (Just fly the airplane, Mr. Flight Director Weenie...
) A while back I was working with a group that has some SR-20s and -22s. Amazing machines with more info in the cockpit than about 90% of the airliners flying. And I thought of that DC-3. We have come a LONG LONG way in cockpit information in a short period of time. I have to wonder what the cockpit will look like in the next decade. And will aviators still look OUTSIDE?? (don't laugh. Some of the guys I flew with in the SR-22 were always typing and seldom used the big situation indicator (the windshield) to see what was going on)
The -3 was very light on the controls compared to the HU-16 and the AC-119. I thought the controls were locked on the -119 when I tried some turns. But add rudder and it came alive. Same with the Curtiss C-46, another beautiful old beast.

Engine in the Swift. As you know, Swifts are like snowflakes.. no two exactly alike?
Opinion on handling and landing?

I got in the Albatross when I was in pilot training and flying the -38. The HU-16 was there doing a search and rescue for a downed pilot and also training for the crew. Myself and a classmate, a Marine (who was dead within 2 months after we graduated and was our first casualty) went out as spotters and got the old guys to let us fly a while.
We came back into the pattern at about 1000ft and the old boy held altitude until the runway disappeared under the nose. He then went to idle power, dropped flaps and the runway FILLED the windscreen. I was sure we were dead. He did this HUGE flare, we touched down and rolled less than 1000ft it seemed. They were grinning from ear to ear. They had showed us jet-wussies they knew how to fly that old dog.
Oh.. the DME indicator was marked off in quarter mile increments. It was a marked contrast to coming down final at 155+ fuel.

No kidding - I think the rarest airplane in the world is a stock, C-85 powered Swift. Actually, I can't imagine how doggy that would be. I think a Culver Cadet would be much more spritely on the same power.
I have always craved a Temco Buckaroo.

I read that the first Swift with the C-85 had just enough HP to take it to the crash site.
