I flew the Archer up to Menominee today to check out Jeff's newly flying 6A. He has less than 10 hours to go in phase 1. Very nice looking aircraft. Very motivational :mrgreen:

You may know Jeff from VAF: Painless

Not sure what ever happened to that nose pant. I guess it just likes to go free style 8)

Chad, its the flight club's. We have the Archer and a 172. The Archer is $62/hour wet.

Jeff said he is very happy with the Catto prop. Sais it is incredibly smooth. He cautions that the lead time was very long though. He said that if I wanted one, I should order it now :o

Great deal on the Archer!!

Yeah, a buddy of mine (with the rotary up front) waited about 13 months for his prop. My tentative plan is to order my Catto when I order my finish kit...which is probably a year and a half or more away. :roll:

I just saw this post.

Just glad that Will obeyed the "10 foot rule" when he took this picture! :wink:

Hey again Jeff!

When ya get her out of paint ya gotta take a quick hop down here so I can get the AFTER PAINT pic posted here too :mrgreen: . Oh, and this time the grub's on me :lol:

BTW, I don't think the 10 foot rule applies to your aircraft 8) . It looks good up close too.
