Hello from Oshkosh, Wisconsin

Recommended Posts

Hi Everyone.

I started in 1979 when I purchased a Home-built airplane . It was a Davis DA-2A SN #51 registration  N72RJ.  I flew it for 10 years between 1979-1989 and put about 2150 Hours on it before selling it to a chap from the UK at EAA here in Oshkosh, WI.. It is still flying under the registration G-BPFLG in the UK.

I used an Apple II for flight plans and the first FS.

I am almost 68 now so decided to get into sim again after seeing MSFS 2020. It is because of this group that I am on the way to getting the hardware for my build.

I already have ordered the Honeycomb Bravo throttle and am on preorder  for the Fulcrum yoke.

Edward

Welcome! I had to google the Davis DA-2. It's a baby Bonanza!! :cool:🍻

I wonder if someone will create a DA-2 for FS2020 somewhere down the line? One never knows!

It was a great plane and never let me down in all the tears of flying it. Yes there were not that many built but mine is still flying in the UK.

Sounds great Edward! I currently fly a home built Vans RV9A (my avatar). Flew it to Oshkosh in 2018 for EAA!  You are going to love FS2020! Enjoy the fun on this forum and in the sim!

I too had to "Google" the aircraft. I found a wonderful and somewhat humorous article in the search:

https://www.kitplanes.com/nextgen-heirloom/

My favorite quote from the author's wit:

Quote

The O-200 had been rebuilt with reconditioned cylinders, “so I had no idea how old or how many hours were on them,” Hutchinson said, so he replaced them with new cylinders. “It was a chunk of change, but the peace of mind is worth the money, especially in an airplane with the glide ratio of a manhole cover.”

Welcome to Avsim. I am a Sun-N-Fun veteran. I've only missed 3 since the very beginning. 

Easy for me as KLAL is my home airport.

 


Thank you.

Thanks for the welcome everyone.

The Davis was a great plane and am glad to put all those hours on it before selling.

Well I have  Honeycomb Bravo throttle, and MFG Crosswind V2 rudder pedals on order and the Fulcrum yoke on preorder.

Building a sim for MSFS is not cheap but just trying to get the right pieces so I do not have to redo it soon. It will most likely take 6-8 months before I can finish it as all the parts are not available till that timeframe.
