Hello fellow Aviators!
I joined 3 yrs ago while searching for a 120/140, had no luck. I recently sold my experimental and two days later a very nice C120 popped up only 100mi from me. If you’re from New England you’ve probably seen it around.

Hi Bob.

Well, you have found out what happens when you hang around some folks for a while...you end up with one of their toys!

I'm glad you got your 120. What type experimental did it replace?

Since I'm not from New England, the only way I can see your plane is if you show us some pics!

I had a Zenith Zodiac 601 HDS w/ Jab 3300. Completely different from the 120. I have a lot of small grass airports around me an I feel the 120 is better suited. I may take the pants off her and run 8” tires too. I started in a Champ and finished my ppl in a 172. My HDS was tricycle gear w/center stick. Now I have tail dragged w/ a steering wheel....I mean yoke, lol!
