Does anyone on this forum know a Falco owner named Jason Strong? He claims to have owned a Falco and damaged it in a landing accident, damaging the left wing and the fuselage. If you have any information of this individual please let me know by email or phone call: Buhwana@charter.net 817-279-3080 T...

I've replaced my tires once and I don't remember having the bear of a time I'm currently having. I had two nice LeakGuard tubes, and attempted to reuse one. In trying to get the two halves compressed enough to put the nut on the bolt I had to use several clamps but I pinched the tube when compressin...

I know I've broached this issue before but today I've had cause to revisit it. I have been taking my daughter (33) who is a PPL and IFR pilot, currently moving through the AA flight academy getting her rating to work professionally, flying in the Falco. At the academy they charge over $200/hr for pl...

Looks like was the last one to discuss this on this forum but here goes again.... Coming up on time to renew insurance as I'm sure many are.

Funny story. For what it's worth, I'm not getting in an airplane with you...lol

It's that time of the year again. Do I go with just Liability, pony up the yearly increase or go "naked?" This year $1930. Last year $1762, previous year $1660, before that $1552. That's a 25% increase over 3 years. Maybe not that much but that's with 150 hours Falco time, an ATP and 18500 hours. I ...

I noticed that my friend Tom Langston carries a fire extinguisher in his Falco. Never thought about it until he mentioned it but I don't like the idea of a medium sized cylinder becoming a missile during a crash or quick stop. After seeing the possible damage just a cell phone could make when my dau...

I started flying gliders in 1966, power in 1978 and retired off the B-777 for AA in 2012. Bought my Falco in 2018 from William Burdis who bought it from the builder Robert Brantly. I've updated it to IFR. Bob won a Bronze Lindy at OSH and SnF around 2004. I've started building a Safari Helicopter (n...
