I just searched for mine and there it was...picture and all!
Thanks Homeland Security! Go to the web site, and check it out.
It's unbelievable!!!
Just enter your name, city and state to see if yours is on file. After your
license comes on the screen, click the box marked "Please Remove". This will
remove it from public viewing, but not from law enforcement. Please notify all
your friends so they can protect themselves, too.
Believe me they will thank you for it.

I am thinking about looking for a 150 hp Yankee conversion I used to own
a Cheetah back when you could buy one for $15,000 and I liked it Since I
most often fly solo, a 150hp Yankee seems like a lot of performance for the
dollar I am new to this list and would like to hear about what the pros
and cons are about this airplane I would look for one with supplemental
fuel One general question I have relates to the age of these airplanes
As they age, is delamination becoming more of a problem? How long does the
adhesive last, that holds these planes together?

George,
Just make sure the airplane fits your typical flight length and the size of
you and your passengers. The AA1X's are fine on cabin width, but short on
headroom as the canopy line is lower than with an AA5. Many people I know
will simply not fit in my AA1C, but I'd say someone up to about 5' 10" would
be comfortable. Past that and it depends on how thick your seats are.
Also, if you have an AA1X with the typical 10 gallons of aux fuel you will
likely only be legal to fly solo. Conversely, with the standard 22 gallons
aboard you can take a passenger (If you and he/she are not to large), but
with the 150 hp engine your endurance will be only about 1.5 hours. The
handling qualities are delightful, but even with the big engine there are
some things to keep in mind. Primarlily, the wing is a lower aspect ratio
than the AA5 because it has less span with not much less chord. As a
result, induced drag will increase quickly when the wing gets slow, so the
plane will sink rapidly if you get slow on final, and possibly require large
amounts of power to rectify the situation. The effeciency of the wing will
also come into play in turbulence at higher altitudes and/or in the vicinity
of mountain up and down drafts. In these situations, if airspeed loss is
significant you may find yourself having to put the nose down and accept a
temporary (hopefully) altitude loss a little sooner than you might with a
longer wing. Therefore, planning is important if you intend on flying over
any high terrain with strong winds aloft. I speak from experience. If you
fly by the numbers, the AA1's are great, and most of them are afordable to
purchase, but keep in mind that the operating costs of an AA1X with a 150 hp
engine are mostly the same as those of a more versatile AA5A, another thing
I've learned. Finally, I don't hear people talking about the age of the
planes being a significant problem. Mine is a '78, but so far it's been
okay. My opinion is that it's not so much how old the plane is as much as
how the various owners have taken care of it over the years.

--> TeamGrumman-List message posted by: neitalibelle@aol.com
Hi,
The trip to Santa Rosa is this Saturday. Plans are for me to fly over there with
Jim Crowley in his AA 1C if the weather is good. I depart Reno-Stead around
8:00 AM.
I will arrive early enough to get the rental van for our transporation.
Plans are:
Arrival at Apex Aviation 11:00 (where the van will be)... also this FBO has the
best avgas prices.
The van will be used as a shuttle as it seats 7.
Van to Kaffe Mocha on Airport Way for lunch.
Van to see the C-1A
Van to the museum... those who want to linger can and those who need to depart
can when they need to.
My cell phone is 775 527-2789 for transportation or information. Mark's cell
phone is 775 843-7510.
Look forward to seeing you there!
