Re: N3119Z - thank you all for the amazing support
I hope in the future you can get back to pursuing your dreams of flying. When my wife told me it was her or the plane, the last thing she heard from me was "Clear Prop"
Re: N3119Z - thank you all for the amazing support
I am schedule to fly N3119Z home for Titanhank. My student Ryan Moore who is expected to get his private on the 24th will be with me. 1500 mn in the west in winter should give him great experience. I’ll be doing something I haven’t done in 33 years..... fly on an airline on a real ticket, not a pass. West in the winter in light airplane will be old home week (it might take that long) for me.

Clayton please post on here your assessment of N3119Z. I am glad to see it sold to someone who will fly it and has the wherewithal and desire to make it right.

Hey, Clayton, glad to hear from you again!
Don't want to hijack this thread, but the similar issues I've had with 57A... I said I'd update here -- If people hadn't seen it on the other thread, Aerotec Engines got back to me; my O-320 is getting a full overhaul due to a bent prop flange and numerous other issues (many likely a result of the excess vibration). Expletives deleted; stay tuned....

Good Enough sounds I like think the plane is barely safe. N3119Z I am sure is worlds better than lot of planes I’ve flown. BTW, good to hear from you too, Walt. I’d fly most anything Titanhank says if Airworthy.

I flew it from Tucson, AZ to there, and flew it again in Aug. or Sept. I thought it flew like a Tri-Pacer. With all the work that has been done on it, you should have no problem making the trip.
