Looking for Arizona advice.

Sorry to change your subject but here's some info for property in AZ.

Airpark property in AZ.

I also found this to be a great website to find foreclosures or short sales.

Waynesville!!! I have done a little flying out of there! What a great place!! The Stewarts are good people!

We moved out here from the 'burbs of Cincinnati and it was THE BEST decision we have ever made. Love it here.....and so will you!!

Thanks for the web site on the airparks and I acquired my pilots certificate from the Stewarts years ago. Have 40hrs in a Cub and enjoyed starting in tail dragers. The Stewarts believe that if you start in an underpowered aircraft that you really have to learn how to fly. Then the transition to a tryke is easy and I agree. The 172 almost flew itself when I went to that. Yes they are good people.

Just remember that with the O-360 there are controls at your fingertips that will bring the fuel burn down to O-320 levels, but there are no controls available anywhere which will increase the power of a 320. It's something to think about now; not when you are hot, heavy and high sometime in the future.

I've been flying my RV-7 now for a couple of years using a new TMX 360 with a fixed pitch Catto Prop. The engine/prop performance has been very satisfactory. I normally fly in the southern Az setting my RPM at 2300-2350 and still get TAS of 172 mph and sips fuel at 6.6 gph consistantly. I'm based at Marana Regional (AVQ).

Whoa, there! Misconception correction. If you want to burn mogas, you're not stuck with a 320. 360s burn it just fine, too. They share compression ratios. If that's the big swinger for you, get the 360. Nearly the same cost, and fuel burn can be made almost equal for the same speed. But the 320 will always be the weaker motor.
