I've been reading the forum posts for the last couple of weeks. I'm in brain overload !
There's a lot of knowledge in this group .
I'm currently flying a Glastar that I built in 2008. I used to own a 1947 V-tail and loved it. I'm in the process of selling the Glastar and will be looking for a 225 HP Debonair shortly. I operate off my 2200 ft grass next to the house and have the Mogas barrell next to the hanger.
Any sales sites other than Barnstormers,Tradeaplane,Aerotrader,and Controller that I should be watching ?
Thanks

Welcome, Rex. Check out Peddler's talk here also if you haven't already. I think the planes selling here are better than the average run-of-the-mill you find in the other sites.

Rex, Welcome to BT. I like your grass strip, my C35 spent the last 35 years of its life on a municipal grass strip (I just moved it last year). I learned to fly with a tailwheel on a 30' wide grass strip with a hill in the middle, trees on one end and a lake on the other (sorta like 5 miles to school, uphill both ways  ). Except for the occasional mud days and when the frost comes out there is nothing better. Tires last a long time! Do we need to call ahead for permission to land?

Welcome to BT.
Do we need to call ahead for permission to land? Jeff No permission needed to land, but always a good idea to call. A phone call is to make sure someone is around to haul you to town and buy Lunch ! Saturdays and Sundays in the summer usually finds several planes there with plane talkers in the shop. Always a project going on with lots of advice floating around. Currently we're finishing an RV8. We always have a fly-in potluck dinner 3rd Saturday in August. When that date gets closer ,I'll issue an invite on Beech Talk to everyone. Rex
