Default Bring home a new plane and wife starts yelling.

Ya know, some deals are just to good to pass up. I mean, come on. It's not like she hasn't come home with 4 pairs of shoes she didn't need.

I traded the guy for my old 1990 Ford Bronco. He now has a Cesna 172 so he felt he did not need both planes. He also happens to be a flight instuctor and agreed to put me through the training for my LSA certification... after I get the new flight sails installed. Hey, it's a 582cc gasser with a 32 ft wing span

Hi Stang,

Make sure that you check the CG before you fly. Remember, two fingers under the wing!

Happy flying and soft landings!

So, would she rather have you happy with the new toy...or sad with the Bronco??? Ha ha ha

My wife, who is the most understanding woman that I know....has/would have .....a real issue with my buying a REAL airplane. She'd rather see me fly a dozen new R/C sized planes. Not too bad an arrangement for me.....ha ha Rich

Ya sure you want to run it on gas. Gas/glow mix has a lot of advantages. . . . .

Congrats! and she'll come around,

Tell her it could have been a 19 year old co-ed. She'll come around.

Whenever I "need" something I bring home some motorcycle brochures and tell THE ADMIRAL that it's time I had one again. She caves for about anything [else] after that.

Charlie P., I like your style. I should... I think I invented it. hahaha

I also state, "Well at least I'm at home at night. I could be like my dad and hang out at the bars with my friends and come home all liquored up". Or I'll start to mention a new rifle or shotgun or even worse, that new Smith & Wesson M&P40 at Gander Mountain I've been eyeballing. Next thing you know, she's saying, "Honey, have you been to the hobby shop lately? Is there anything new there you might want for Christmas? Like a kit or something?"

I tell you, it's too easy. You just have to realize you can't play those cards during her cycle though...all bets are off then.

The UL is something my wife would enjoy so if I found a deal I don't think she would mind, she is the one that got me into sand rails and custom cars.
Guns, I always thought I could pull the wool over her eyes, she didn't know a Browning from A Winchester. Then one day I discovered how well she could count!![]
