Hi all, I'm Glenn.  I've got a 2010 PiperSport version of the Sport Cruiser I keep in central NJ.  Had it for a few years but for some reason only joining the forum now.

I've already solved a few minor squawks and have become pretty familiar with a lot of its components and systems.  Hopefully I can contribute to the group.

I posted a question today under the Rotax engine section - looking for information on the fuel check valve used on later models.  Any help would be apprciated.

Thanks,

Glenn

In full disclosure, that picture was taken the day after moving into the hangar, the only things in the picture were the items I kept at my shade hangar and a couple of chairs that I had in the truck.  I have since added tables, shelving, refrigerator, toolbox, motorcycle and it is considerably messier!   My wife still keeps the airplane spotless, but the hangar is my problem.

Funny, I live about 7 miles from the airport, I've had the plane since 2019, and the wife has seen it exactly twice.  And both times were from the passenger seat of the car.  Safe to say she has NO interest in flying, although it is because of her I fly - she got me a groupon-discounted flying lesson 🤣.   I'm not complaining BTW, that just means the topic of flying is all mine!  In general though, it means I have to keep the plane clean myself, and I'm bad at that.

You are not alone on that remark. LOL. On my first Sportcruiser ride I asked the guy why he was selling the plane. He said, "Me and my buddy bought it to learn. He never finished. My wife doesn't like it much and we are getting a divorce".

I still didn't understand the reason to sell the plane. I think that was a $$$ and title thing because if you got rid of the spouse why sell the plane???

However, my spouse has been up only a few times (too worried/anxious/quiet) and my buddies who enjoy aviation enthusiasts are few and far between. 

The topic of flying is all mine too. 🙄
