We usually admit only Porterfield owners who can spell their own name, but since club founder, Tom Porterfield, lives on the airport about 4 miles the other side of Abernathy from you, we'll make an exception. Welcome to our wee club for the skinny birds!
We've been wondering who would buy TJ's Collegiate. He's had her for sale for years. Did she come with a starter? We've been wondering how TJ would put a starter on a Collegiate and what the paperwork looks like.
Solo her from the front, and she flies solid, provided TJ has her properly rigged and the rudder isn't warped. Solo from the back and she'll wallow in yaw. She's not an over-hyped, over-priced Piper product: sit up front! Yeah the instrument panel makes for a bit of claustrophobia at first, but by the time you're set to take off, you're acclimated to it.
