I wish - it looks like an awesome plane. However, at this point I am too far away from buying one to think about it

Also, how small is the cockpit? I am a big guy, and it seems like it would be rather small for me

You'll probably have to fly a 172 like me. I'm 5'11 260, so I'm too big to be in the 152 with a CFI. That's me on the left.

Hypercarfanatic;

As an A&P for the love of god don't be that pilot.

DON'T TURN INTO THAT PILOT!

-A Grumpy Mechanic.

That is great advice. I have flown with some guys that are those Pilots and I can bet our Techs know them by name. Type Ahole personalities. Makes for a Very long trip.

Hahahahaha I have 3 guns, but I fought wayyyyy to hard to be able to have them (super liberal parents are not easy to convince

). But I have disposable savings, aimed towards go-fast parts on a future camaro.

Although, my parents started reminiscing about all the trips they went on in my dads old Seneca II

Any Stearman Fans here? If have some spare time, please give this Video a Watch. It was a Senior Student's Video Project from ASU. She interviews some former Coworkers and their Friends. Imho she did well. Enjoy

wally mayfield · 01-23-2015, 09:49 AM

My friend owned this beauty, Know what it is??

VR Code R6P · 01-23-2015, 12:04 PM

It looks like a Spartan Executive with a nose wheel conversion to me.

SSBUSDRVR · 01-23-2015, 02:14 PM

Sure looks like it. Could have swore saw it in Ohskosh bygosh.

rebelyell22 · 01-23-2015, 02:37 PM

Yep. Spartain Model 12 Executive. They came in the trike config

wally mayfield · 01-23-2015, 04:28 PM

Yes its a Spartan, they only made one with a nose gear.

VR Code R6P · 01-24-2015, 03:11 AM

Your friend has a beautiful airplane, I envy him! I am still partial to the conventional gear though.

wally mayfield · 01-24-2015, 09:11 AM
