Aircraft Description

Chicken Hawk is the first in the Red Door Aviation Fleet. We wanted to bring the first truly glass cockpit trainer C172 to Plus One Flyers. The plane is STC as a C172N. It has a 180Hp engine converted by “AirPlains”. This was a low time N model that we completely upgraded. The purpose of this plane, and all other Red Door planes, is to be the best trainer plane or cross country flyer able to be flown. The low time student pilot, time builder, or the seasoned professional; this plane was created for everyone. The flight deck was designed to be professional and intuitive. It has every technological amenity possible. See the specs list below.

The Avionics suit is nice, but the most important thing above all is maintenance. N75733, like all other Red Door Aviation planes, is maintained to the highest standard. Gibbs Aircraft Service Center has done an incredible job with the install and with all of the other upgrades that we made. When its time for a checkride this is your plane. The physical log books are available on request at the Aircraft Service Center. I will also post pictures of the new logbook entries pertinent to the required inspections (AVIATES) as they are completed. I have personally flown this plane across the country and back twice. Maintenance is of the upmost importance to us.

When you rent this plane it comes with all VFR, IFR, and Approach plates. This is the perfect instrument trainer. It has ADS-B In/Out and all that comes with. The G3X system is extremely intuitive. If you are comfortable with G5 and a GTN650 you will feel right at home with this new glass G3X panel. If you have any questions about anything please feel free to call or email at any time. My contact information is at the top of the page.

This Plane owner requests approval for any trip longer than two days. We Obviously want to try and accommodate everyone. However, this plane was really created to help support the student pilots on the field. If you want to book this plane for more than one night away please call or email me your request

Special Note: Aircraft is Equipped with ESP (electronic stability protection) this protects the aircraft from exceeding the published envelope. Essentially if you wanted to stall the plane and ESP is armed the plane wont stall. So if you are going to practice maneuvers such as stalls or steep turns you need to deactivate ESP. You can do this by touching the autopilot control bar above the attitude indicator on the G3X ten inch screen. Tap the bar and the G3X autopilot control panel will come up. You will see that ESP is active with a green indicator. Tap the ESP button to deactivate. This is very simple to do, but if you are unfamiliar it can sound confusing. Trust me, its easy. Once ESP is disabled it will remain disabled until either you reactivate it or the plane is shut down and turned back on.

03/09/2022		237RJ	5	5	5	5	27803	This Cirrus is a superb aircraft for cross country flying VFR and IFR. With its Turbo-Engine (witch is easy to handle - thanks to its Turbo-Normalized Tornado Alley System) you can go to any high altitude airport without any hassle.
02/23/2022		465DS	5	5	5	5	9207	Really good plane, with the G1000 and GFC700 AP, great cross-country, and great TAS. The owner also is really friendly
02/20/2022		7577N	5	5	5	5	42735	Aaron goes above and beyond any other owner I have dealt with renting in P1. His attention to detail is incredible. This airplane is remarkably clean (as in, not dirty) compared to other planes I've flown in the club. It's got all the trimmings in the interior, and is a joy to fly. 77N has been cared for dearly, and renting it is not your typical club rental experience. I'll be back for more.
05/01/2021		9488G	5	5	5	5	13267	This plane got some upgraded avionics recently and they did an amazing job. It is a fun plane to fly and the recessed G5’s are super awesome. The owner is also very responsive and super cool.
05/01/2021		8148F	5	5	5	5	13208	This is one of my favorite airplanes in the fleet. Tom takes really good care of the plane and he keeps people informed about everything. The plane flies really nicely, is super fast and very fun. I highly recommend getting your Cirrus checkout.
05/01/2021		44886	5	5	5	4	13380	This plane was just added to the Club fleet and it is really nice. Looks like they re-did the interior recently and the paint is really pretty. It flies well and the engine is strong.
05/21/2021		5396E	2	2	2	3	12992	This plane needs a lot of TLC, it feels unloved and neglected. Things like the big hole in the ceiling upholstery, loose switches, loose seats... it leaves you with an uneasy feeling about the general safety of the machine and a depressing feeling about the overall state and exorbitant cost of ancient GA planes these days. With that said, it didn't leave me stranded or show signs of mechanical issues.
05/02/2021		950AC	5	5	5	5	9261	I have 30+ hours on this aircraft and flew it during the last half of my instrument training and also for the check ride in 2020. Terrence is a fantastic owner and keeps his plane very clean, airworthy, and mission ready! The plane itself is very stable in all three axes which make it a terrific instrument trainer. The 430W GPS is a classic and everything you need for IFR flight with GPS approaches. In early 2021, Terrence removed the old DG and installed a Garmin G5. I just recently flew an IFR XC and this upgrade makes a huge difference. It's fully integrated with the 430W and the HSI provides automatic waypoint updates based on the GPS flight plan. Amazing! Cannot recommend highly enough. Go fly!
01/26/2022		4420R	5	5	5	5	9175	Very clean and well kept aircraft. It has great but simple avionics package with the amazing GTN650 paired with 2 G5s and Bluetooth ADS-B in to Foreflight. Would recommend 20R to anyone flying out of CRQ!
01/20/2022		5908S	4	4	4	3	13036	I flew this aircraft for an initial Club checkout, as I have the majority of my 3000 hours flying Beechcraft. I was very disappointed to discover the Garmin 530 is in fact not a WAAS unit, contrary to the listing, as I consider that to be a minimum equipment requirement for IFR. I spoke to the owner, who followed up on my flight to see how I liked the aircraft. He said he was not aware of the listing problem, and plans to invest in a new unit as the next aircraft upgrade. The IO-520 engine is very smooth and powerful. Flying characteristics were a delight--pure Beechcraft.
01/20/2022		7577N	5	5	5	4	42735	I have taken 7577N on a couple of small trips. On the first trip I was absolutely hooked. The plane was amazingly clean, stocked with useful avionics, has a phenomenal autopilot and is a smooth flyer. The best story I have with the plane was with a friend of mine and his girlfriend. The aircraft was so smooth, she fell asleep in the back seat! I was also pleasantly surprised when Aaron left a note for safe travels, that was much appreciated. I plan on taking this aircraft to Phoenix and Sedona later this month, and I couldn't be more excited. Only minor complaint is that the Intercom ICS is a bit confusing, but that's me being very nit-picky.
12/17/2021		5908S	5	5	5	5	13036	Absolutely a joy to fly, VERY FAST and excellent avionics. If you are looking for a great plane for XC flights, this is the one! Owner is very responsive and will address any issues immediately.
12/14/2021		5291E	4	5	5	4	8391	One of my favorite planes! Instils confidence, well maintained interior and flys wonderful.
12/14/2021		797RJ	1	2	2	4	13179	Apart from the G5s, every part of this plane is falling apart. Really basic stuff, like paneling, windows, seats, loose headset plugs.
12/10/2021		7620G	4	4	4	3	9231	Strong engine. Good avionics. True flyer.
12/09/2021		5396E	5	4	4	5	12992	One of the best planes at MYF, a little dusty inside but who cares
11/27/2021		561SA	4	5	5	5	13013	I flew the aircraft for about 20 hours the past week. Very reliable aircraft especially for flying to high altitude airports. Nice avionics. Auto pilot is currently inop and wish it can be repaired as it is useful for long x country trips.
11/27/2021		4255T	4	4	4	4	12944	Smooth power and trims very well. Overall I think this is the best Archer I have flown at Plus One.
11/24/2021		44886	5	5	5	4	13380	Great to have a clean and cost effective plane in the club. It's obvious the owner takes good care of it, it doesn't have oil dripping all over the cowl, it has nice wheel pants, the interior is not falling to pieces.. just an all around great plane! Certainly making it my "go-to" now for single engine ops You'll note the other reviewer didn't put 5 stars for avionics, I'll also give it 4 stars. The avionics and panel are totally fine. It's just not sporting G5s and a 650/750.. (which would push them to a 5/5) but does a PA-28, or really any "trainer" need that stuff? The 430 works great. PS - for a 160 horse this plane climbs superbly well, that's one healthy engine!
11/22/2021		7577N	5	5	5	5	42735	Clean, quiet, smooth and fast. Now my go-to 182 in the club. All around great condition, it’s clear this plane has been well loved.. Thank you!
11/15/2021		4389X	5	5	5	5	12955	Best avionics and best handling of any aircraft in the plus one fleet! Anyone who loves a low-wing feel with the gear up for increased range needs to pick this plane.
10/27/2021		5150D	5	5	5	5	13389	Loved flying this aircraft. It is newly painted, very clean and well maintained. The owner is very kind! Highly recommend this plane!
10/04/2021		5150D	5	5	5	5	13389	5150D must be the best kept secret in the club. Dual G5s and a Garmin 650 make it perfect for IFR training. Also, Pedro is super friendly and responsive to questions. This is now one of my go-to aircraft.
10/01/2021		5150D	5	5	5	5	13389	It looks like a new plane that just came off the lot. Scrupulously cleaned inside and out, beautiful paint job. Flies well to boot! Highly recommend this aircraft.
10/01/2021		737HY	5	5	5	4	13095	I did my check-ride in this plane for a reason. It's clean, well-maintained and has all the equipment that you need. I did my check ride in it because I found it just flies nice, trims out really well and just handles nicely.
09/14/2021		4182T	5	5	5	5	12934	Great 180Hp aircraft! Great VFR and IFR flyer, has the Garmin G5s. This aircraft is extremely well taken care of, beautiful interior on this aircraft also!! One of my favorite aircraft in the flying club! Well worth the price!
09/08/2021		75605	5	5	5	5	13147	I'm pretty sure this is the best 172 in KMYF and surroundings. Overall great performance, well maintained, beautiful classic 6-pack, paint and interior looks in great condition and the owner seems to be a person who takes good care of his airplane. If you do the things right you shouldn't have any inconvenient either with the airplane or the owner. I'm definitely flying this airplane from now and forever. My favorite 172.
08/31/2021		738QA	5	5	5	4	13107	I remember this aircraft from my initial training days back in 2007-08. Flew it recently again, a very nice aircraft! Nothing fancy but it does the job at a very reasonable hourly rate even today.
08/29/2021		465DS	5	5	5	5	9207	Great plane really good maintained, really clean in great condition, Totally recomendable.
08/28/2021		57679	5	5	5	3	35992	Very well kept, clean, flies well, overall a very nice taildragger.
08/21/2021		75605	2	1	1	2	13147	Never renting this plane again! Old six pack, old GPS, especially when most of the PlusOne planes at least have the G5’s. Poorly maintained interior of the aircraft, to the point where my passenger was very unsure of flying in the plane. And to top it off, rude owner! But the 180 hp useful load is like the only redeeming quality of this aircraft.
07/29/2021		16422	5	5	5	5	12527	Spectacular avionics panel. No steam games here! Comfortable interior too. No broken plastic or worn carpet. The autopilot makes it a relaxing cross country aircraft. It clean, comfortable, and complex.
07/26/2021		300KZ	5	5	5	5	6204	This airplane is a pleasure to fly! Frank worked hard to update it with an Aspen Evolution PFD and an AV-30C backup. The JPI engine monitor gives plenty of information to fly the plane efficiently. The interior is pristine, and the engine runs well. This is clearly a plane that is well maintained.
07/21/2021		9687J	5	5	5	5	13287	Pros: Strong engine, Great climb rate, Advanced avionics \| Cons: Seat does not go up or down and cannot be pushed back far enough for people with long legs. Due to the seat and yoke position, my knees interfere with the yoke. I am happy that the electric trim is installed however, it is slow and I find myself having to use the manual trim above my head.
07/19/2021		91630	3	4	4	1	13255	Flys like most 161s, good price point.
07/19/2021		5676V	5	5	5	3	8397	Clean and nice looking, decent power and avionics. ADS-B to Foreflight is a bit laggy.
07/19/2021		81916	5	5	5	5	13218	Clean, nice looking and top notch avionics = favorite trainer. Plus it's super cheap!
07/19/2021		4255T	5	5	5	4	12944	Great power, comfey as can be expected, decent avionics and autopilot rounds out a great XC plane.
07/13/2021		5291E	5	5	5	5	8391	Denny takes very good care of his airplane. It is by far the nicest offering at KSEE. He also owns the Redbird Sim which I highly recommend for IFR Currency and practicing any type of emergency situations. The sim also offers robust syllabi and GIFT training curriculum. 5 stars all around.
07/12/2021		9488G	5	5	5	5	13267	Can't beat this aircraft for price and performance. My favorite C-172 in the Plus One fleet @ MYF.
07/11/2021			4	5	5	4	12550	Large fuel tanks allow you to fly longer legs than most other aircraft in the Plus One fleet. Good avionics too. If it had an autopilot, it would be perfect.
07/11/2021		561SA	5	5	5	5	13013	What this aircraft lacks in useful load, it makes up for in speed. A recent flight to KSBP and back averaged 120K ground speed on 11 gph. The fuel injected 180hp engine runs smooth and strong. The larger fuel tanks make up for the higher fuel burn over the 160hp engine in other Skyhawks. I also appreciate the cup holders and more substantial, comfortable seats for the longer flights. Really nice avionics too!
07/11/2021		4389X	4	4	4	4	12955	Not only is this a well equipped aircraft, but it has good legs and groundspeed too. The autopilot makes it a joy to fly.
07/04/2021		4975F	5	5	5	5	12970	4975F is my favorite aircraft from plus one. Always well manitained, and feels solid in flights. I've don't cross countries to Camarillo and Chandler and have never had an issue with the aircraft. Fantastic plane and will definitely rent again for my next XC
06/14/2021		8148F	5	5	5	5	13208	This is an excellent aircraft. It is very well maintained and reliable. The owner, Tom Reid, treats it with kid gloves and is very responsive and supportive of the pilots flying 48F.
06/14/2021		106HP	5	5	5	5	5981	I had the privilege of flying N106HP with a CFI today in a back to back High Wing vs Low Wing comparison to see if I had a preference for my coming training. I do favor low wings and this aircraft's finish is excellent and that A/C was incredibly nice to have on a hot Gillespie day. Super stable in angle of bank turns and for this newbie's observation much easier to maintain altitude and angle of bank in a turn in this aircraft than the 172N I flew earlier in the day. I'm 6'3/250lbs so I was filling the cockpit fairly well but if I was 5" shorter and 50lbs smaller, this aircraft would be a perfect fit.
06/11/2021		9687J	4	5	5	5	13287	I flew 87J for the first time for my annual flight review. Pre-flight inspection revealed an immaculate airframe and paint scheme that rivals a brand new aircraft. The entire firewall forward looks brand new and the interior is in excellent condition. It's hard to believe this aircraft is about 55 years old. The avionics are outstanding as well. The dual G5 setup provides all the information you need in a reduced instrument scan space. The radios and audio controller are crystal clear. This airplane climbs very well and has great cruise speed and just a slight pull to the right. While landing, it demonstrated good elevator authority, but slightly less rudder authority as compared to its younger cousins. The windscreen is clean and still visible even when flying directly into the setting sun. My only critique is related to the design of the seat, seat rail, and yoke position and has nothing to do with the condition, rigging, or outfitting of 87J. The seat does not move vertically and the forward position that I required for full rudder control put my knees squarely in the way of the yoke. Hopefully, this won't be aproblem for you.
06/06/2021		44886	5	5	5	5	13880	Externals look clean and new, but more importantly, the aircraft performed like a champ. Still was able to make an 800 FPM climb at 4000 ft with 2 pilots up front. Avionics worked like a charm. Tuned up the ILS while on the visual approach to RWY 28R at KMYF and verified it works. Definitely a great addition to the club!
06/03/2021		4389X	5	5	5	5	12955	I got my complex in this plane and it has been a joy to fly! The avionics are excellent with the dual G5’s and Garmin 530 and the engine monitor. Thank you for keeping your plane at a very affordable price and maintaining it to the highest standard!
06/02/2021		738TB	5	4	4	5	13118	Reliable & clean Aircraft. G5 and G430 are great for Instrument training/flight. Price is also very affordable. I've never had an issue, with over 70 hours in 8TB.
06/02/2021		34CF	5	5	5	3	5987	The Skywagon is amazing, with a reputation second to none. Go ahead, find another one for rent. This is an unheard of opportunity.
05/26/2021		106HP	5	5	5	5	5981	I was hesitant to submit this because the A/C is already busy and hard to schedule, and I felt that this would increase the "exposure" and it will be even harder to get my hands on the yolk of this aircraft. This is very will maintained, clean machine with upgraded avionics. The owner is very pleasant, takes good care of it. Very much recommended and that air-conditioning is a life saver on a hot day. Fly it once and you'll get hooked.
05/25/2021		9488G	5	5	5	5	13267	Well maintained and looked after, the owner is diligent, friendly and communicative. Tight flight controls, climbs like a beast (for a 172 :p) nice avionics.
05/19/2021		728TB	5	5	5	4	27382	Where are all the inop plackards?!?! Everything works. SUPER clean, flies great, equipped for ACTUAL IFR xc flight. The autopilot makes it a great choice for single pilot IFR. One of those planes you want to take people up in their first time in a GA airplane. Oh, wait... Don't fly this airplane. I need it available for my checkride! PlusOne pilots, this is a gem. Let's treat her right!
05/19/2021		734DN	4	5	5	5	13076	Your standard 172 with a nice GTN-650 and Garmin G5. Strong magnetos and strong brakes. DO NOT overprime her though- the checklist suggests 3 primes which is what I did on a COLD start as the checklist would direct. This might have been too much as I did end up having to go lean, and full throttle procedure in suspicion of overpriming with only 3 pumps.
05/18/2021		96621	5	5	5	5	13278	Dave really cares about putting a quality product on the line, not only that, he is a super personable and nice guy. I always enjoy our chats on the line. Highly recommend!
05/18/2021		75605	5	5	5	5	13147	Great clean airplane! The best traditional six pack on the line, I've never come across traditional gauges that are so well maintained. Highly recommend!
05/18/2021		9488G	5	5	5	5	13267	Clean and the avionics are great! Highly recommend!
05/18/2021		SIMFM	5	5	5	5		Denny does a great job keeping the Sim up to date, highly recommend!
05/07/2021		74881	4	5	5	4	9219	Took this new AA5 out to SBA last week. No autopilot, but great cruiser trimmed out. In addition to the awesome GTN650, it has a very cool digital round AI/HSI with moving map - first of its kind that I've seen. You can scroll through HSI/GPS/VLOC or show the moving map. You can also set altitude reference, heading, OBS, etc. by touchscreen. I wasn't getting ADSB-In traffic, however, on the GTN650. Nice paint job. Great for the weekend hop! An AP, ADS-B flightlink from the GTN to ipad, and music inputs would put this at 5 stars on my list.
05/01/2021		106HP	5	5	5	5	5981	This is the airplane I choose to rent on a consistent basis. Very well maintained and clean. Fairly priced per hour.
08/04/2022	sterpstra	172SX	5	5	5	3	12550	I love this airplane. I fly it frequently and between the super responsive and amazingly friendly owner/mechanic, the plane flies very nicely. I'm not a huge fan of the AV-30 instruments but maybe one day they will be replaced with Garmin. Aside from that, nothing but glowing remarks for this plane.
08/04/2022	sterpstra	2462P	3	3	4	4	12676	I have a soft spot for G1000's. It is one of the original G1000's so it isn't WAAS. Gotta be careful not shooting an RNAV and using LPV minima but aside from that, it's pretty solid.
08/05/2022	sterpstra	210BX	3	3	3	2	12582	The 210 is a great platform and this plane is fun to fly. She is fast, nice looking, and smooth. My biggest gripe is that I wish the owner would update the avionics. If this plane had a nice avionics upgrade, I would bet it would be flying its wings off. I’ll fly it on occasion to keep proficient, but I definitely think it needs a makeover.
08/05/2022	sterpstra	3803E	2	2	2	2	12922	The plane flies well (and a lot) it just needs a bit of avionics updates. A couple G5's, remove all the old stuff that isn't even used and this plane will be even better. It works for training though.
08/10/2022	sterpstra	172RW	3	3	3	5	12541	Great airplane, avionics are top notch. It has a nice autopilot so this is a great plane for building time too. I enjoy flying this plane. Actually, I enjoy letting the autopilot fly this airplane.
08/11/2022	sterpstra	237RJ	3	3	3	3	27803	This is one of my go to airplanes for cross country trips. I am not fond of the hangar it is in but I understand there is little the owner can do because of the city lease issues. The Avidyne IFDs take a LOT of getting used to, especially if you are familiar with Garmin. Overall though, it works well and gets the job done. A little more TLC would make it a way better 22 but it works.
08/11/2022	sterpstra	256J	5	5	5	5	31547	I would love this airplane more but it hasn’t been available long enough to get more out of it. It has been in maintenance seemingly longer than it has been available to us. The avionics are awesome and the MT props are super quiet.
08/11/2022	sterpstra	4389X	2	3	2	2	12955	The G5s are nice but it would be substantially better if there was a little more effort put into the panel. It is like flying a 50’s Chevy Truck. It isn’t really my first, second, or third choice but it is decent enough if you need to go a tiny bit faster and want a retractable gear.
08/11/2022	sterpstra	5150D	4	4	4	4	13389	If you can get it, this plane is da bomb. Excellent price point, good avionics, easy to communicate with the owner. This is my 172 of choice. I think this spends more time in the air than on the ground.
08/11/2022	Rodabaugh	738FY	4	4	4	4	52990	Strong performing aircraft with an electric constant speed 3 bladed prop. One of the few C172 aircraft with an autopilot, this aircraft is perfect for cross countries. Its comfortable, great looking, and very affordable.
08/11/2022	tmiller	4922D	3	3	3	3	12372	NIce Plane!
08/16/2022	sterpstra	3386E	4	4	4	4	12901	Nice airplane, with some great avionics comparatively. It flies nice and makes for a nice cross country bird.
08/16/2022	Rodabaugh	4255T	3	2	3	3	12944	The best things about this airplane are the GTN 650 GPS and the STEC autopilot. There is no COM/NAV 2, but I just use the monitor function on the GTN650 to pick-up ATIS and other transmissions. The engine monitor is a nice addition as well. The 180 HP motor allows excellent climb performance. The DG presesses too much to be reliable for IFR training but the value this aircraft offers can't be beat.
08/16/2022	sterpstra	1784R	4	4	5	4	12571	This is a great club airplane. It is an excellent transition airplane for those moving to HP/Complex and an even better airplane for cross country flights with an excellent useful load. This is one of my go to airplanes for cross country rentals with my family. Thanks for having a great plane like this in the club!
08/19/2022	capassoma	733JW	3	3	2	4	13064	This plane looks so-so on the outside but is a good flyer. Well balanced on the controls, easy to trim.
09/01/2022	Tmacf123	106HP	4	5	4	5	5981	This plane is awesome. I love the A/C, it actually works! It is IFR rated too. It has a Carb Ice Detector which is pretty cool for IFR. It feels solid, lands nicely and I can't wait to fly it again!
09/01/2022	lengrep	465DS	4	3	3	4	9207	I've flown a variety of aircraft, but nothing as modern as a DA-40. This airplane is very well maintained, and equipped with a WAAS G1000 and excellent integrated autopilot. The airplane's handling is very different from a Cessna, but something you can adapt to fairly quickly with good instruction. It's a very light airplane with a very lightly loaded wing. The great visibility also means lots of sunlight. It can get pretty toasty on a hot day.


09/06/2022	wtbussick	210BX	3	3	4	2	12582	Excellent performer and one of the fastest planes in the fleet. The lack of avionics is disappointing however. If there was an avi upgrade, this bird would be checked out non stop.
09/08/2022	krcolman	16422	5	4	3	4	12527	A great airplane. Wonderfully maintained and nice interior. Great avionics for inst work or CCX.
09/09/2022	victorperez	75605	5	4	4	4	13147	This airplane is one of my favorites in the club. It has plenty of power with 180hp all at your disposition while taking off.

	but remember do NOT overprime and do NOT overcrank the engine starter. Read the instructions and you should be fine.


09/18/2022	Amjaffer	5208D	4	4	5	4	12982	Fantastic airplane and handles like a champ, especially with the new engine! Perfect for a quick flight around san diego.
09/22/2022	patrickcanler	7620G	5	5	5	5	9231	This plane is awesome! Amazing avionics, great power, and such a stable and smooth platform. Love this plane.
09/26/2022	artc25	44886	5	4	4	4	13380	Flew 44886 for the1st time today. Great airplane with nice avionics. Flies very nicely. Slick airframe and wings make it faster but a little more work to land than older Hershey bar wing PA28s. Exterior looks like a newer plane. Interior is nice and clean. Would recommend for traveling or taking new passengers to relieve some anxiety of flying in older planes. Will use this plane more often.
09/27/2022	gwbeaty	8148F	4	4	4	3	13208	This is one of the best maintained aircraft I have ever flown. Tom see to it that all issues are dealt with and checks on the plane regularly. His hanger has a GPU, extra parking and everything you need to prep the plane. The power tug is a must for moving these planes by yourself and is always working.
10/08/2022	jkapenas	797RJ	4	4	4	4	13179	This plane is my favorite! The 50 gallon long-range tanks make it my first choice. Plus, the avionics are fantastic with dual G5s and both a GTN 650 & GNS 430. They have WAAS and traffic and the data base(s) seem to both be updated monthly. Love the redundancy. Exterior and Interior are better than or equal to the rest in the club.
10/08/2022	jkapenas	734DN	4	3	3	4	13076	This plane is awesome!
10/08/2022	jkapenas	733JW	4	4	4	4	13064	I've been flying this plane since I was student. Very reliable and great maintenance!
10/08/2022	jkapenas	737HY	4	4	4	4	13095	Best C172 in the club. Paint is cool and interior is brand new. Avionics are solid. Flies great for instrument work.
10/13/2022	eric.anderson.navy	7233Y	3	3	3	3	56232	This is an awesome ME time builder. Fast, fun, and easy to fly with benign engine out characteristics.
10/18/2022	vsut	7DU	4	3	3	5	13188	This airplane is a thrilled to fly, very smooth. The avionics are all new and works perfectly. Owners are super nice and happy to answer your questions.

10/18/2022	lengrep	7577N	4	3	4	4	42735	I joined Plus One hoping to find aircraft like this. Well maintained by an owner who clearly cares. And he's rewarded with a full rental schedule!

	and this airplane is far better. Engine starts right up	runs super smooth. The avionics upgrades are all very useful and easy to get used to flying with. I'd wish for a better #2 NavCom	0	0


10/20/2022	hayesjaj	499DR	3	3	3	4	58671	Nice plane, now at MYF. Comfortable interior and made book numbers.
10/20/2022	cfairweather	74C	5	5	5	5	56187	Pricey, but worth it. I loved every aspect of this plane including its new plane smell. The perfect plane for a bay tour and to fly a passenger new to aviation.
10/21/2022	pilotchippof	95MR	5	4	5	4	36675	Good looking ship with great avionics. Cruises nicely with comfortable seating. Great audio panel with Bluetooth music connection and new Garmin touch screen GPS (it's like a small 650). An autopilot and current GPS databases would make this first class!
10/22/2022	bbender87	96621	3	3	3	3	13278	EGT and CHT warnings after 30 seconds climb @ Vy. Requires climb at reduced power and 90kts to keep temps green.
10/24/2022	james89	20392	2	2	3	2	59268	160hp it takes a while to climb 500vs at palomar with 2 pax, avionics not working really well (com 2) an airplane to build time in a “cheap” way
10/24/2022	sterpstra	7603C	2	2	2	3	59261	I would like this plane more if it was better taken care of. It has a lot of potential, as do most of the Duchess in the club but it needs some TLC to make sure it gets things fixed quicker. It works for a trainer but just barely.
10/24/2022	ccojocaru	7145P	3	4	3	4	32411	Solid Comanche 250, fast, quiet, good avionics.
10/27/2022	lzdeb1970	4922D	4	4	4	5	12372	The dual G5/650 was easy to adapt to coming from G1000s. Plane's appearance is perhaps a little dated, but everything is in good shape. Owner is also a really nice guy; seems to be at the airport a lot and was willing to chat/answer questions.
10/30/2022	eesser	734NK	5	4	5	5	8423	Fantastic plane. Great avionics, working 4 place intercom, engine monitor, exterior is awesome looking, climbs like crazy, flys straight and smooth. My favorite club plane so far by a mile.
10/31/2022	Devin Chatterjie	738FY	5	4	4	4	52990	Great flying airplane with a strong and healthy engine. The prop also makes this perfect for efficient cross country trips.
10/31/2022	Devin Chatterjie	738FY	4	4	3	4	52990	Love the prop for efficiency and cross country speed. Everything works well and she’s got a strong engine always starts beautifully. Nice leather interior is great for bringing friends also also.
11/01/2022	jkapenas	797RJ	4	3	3	4	13179	Great plane! Love the 50 gallon tanks and avionics. Both the GTN 650 and GNS 430 are updated each month.
11/01/2022	eric.anderson.navy	6350P	4	4	3	3	50840	This is a solid performing aircraft. A great aircraft for complex training or building complex time.
11/04/2022	sterpstra	74C	5	5	5	5	56187	This plane is amazing. The owner(s) take impeccable care of this bird and you can tell. Mechanically it is phenomenal and the avionics, oh dang!
11/04/2022	capassoma	44886	3	3	3	3	13380	good flyer, nice interior.
11/04/2022	athilenius	738TB	1	1	2	3	13118	It's falling apart to the point where I felt unsafe flying it, and scrubbed the flight for me and my passengers. The bare minimum of legally required maintained is clearly all that is ever done to this plane.
11/05/2022	capassoma	91630	4	3	3	2	13255	Good flyer. Had a tough time starting it, but finally got it running. The idle limit is set very low. Just have to be carefull when retarding the throttle. The rear snaps on the cover are broken off, so cannot cover the aircraft after flight. Overall, good aircraft for local flights.
11/05/2022	jgerun	950AC	4	4	4	3	9261	Super clean, great aircraft for IFR or VFR training/short cross countries. Only downside is that none of the avionics have bluetooth for foreflight (that I could find) but you can always use a Stratus/Sentry. I’ll definitely be taking her out again.
11/06/2022	tigrepickett@gmail.com	96621	3	3	3	3	13278	Nicely updated plane. Traffic awareness is lacking and you'll want to bring a Sentry along. Nice alert system for engine monitoring if temps push past EGT limits. Dave, the owner, is fast to fix things, happy to answer questions and is usually around the airfield.
11/06/2022	Nahama	7233Y	3	3	2	3	56232	Nice, relatively fast and with decent avionics that work without negative quirks. The exterior doesn’t do it justice. Overall solid platform for medium distance cross countries and pleasant to fly.
11/07/2022	boadaboa	5208D	5	5	5	4	12982	This plane is amazing with brand new engine. Especially climb performance is very nice.
11/10/2022	eitandzur	9687J	4	4	4	3	13287	Super pretty inside and out. This is NOT your regular PA28 though. Has Cessna style throttle and mixture controls and all the switches are in odd places. Trim is overhead and electronic trim and PTT are not parts of the yoke.
11/10/2022	pdwillia40	79212	4	4	4	4	9249	I very much enjoyed flying 79212. Great performance with 3 adults. Thanks for making it available!
11/10/2022	tigrepickett@gmail.com	75605	3	2	3	2	13147	This is more a doer than a looker. Traditional six pack with Garmin 530. Flys great. But looks well worn. Tricky start so definitely chat with the owner or read the inside of the binder. Parking it under the awning is tricky at night given little to no lights. Interior needs love and so do side windows for visibility.
11/11/2022	tantalum	52799	3	2	4	3	13402	This plane flies really nice, probably my favorite 182 in the club. No autopilot but she starts right up and has a solid TAS for a straight leg 182. It trims out so well you almost don't need AP. Will be renting it again for sure
11/11/2022	eitandzur	44886	4	4	4	2	13380	Great looking interior and exterior, avionics are middle of the road. Seats seem to be higher than other 160s so for me (6' 2") I kinda had to slouch down to have my head straight.
11/11/2022	Groseb28	75605	3	3	3	4	13147	The owner of this aircraft was very friendly and communicative! The avionics in this plane are great and I will continue to choose this plane whenever I have the chance to!
11/11/2022	eitandzur	44886	4	4	4	2	13380	As far as I know, there's no ADS-B in......
11/12/2022	bryceacurtis	20392	5	5	5	5	59268	I have been flying this plane consistently for months now and it flys really well. Interior and exterior are always kept clean. Engine is very reliable and always runs smooth. Avionics and GPS work great and easy to use. Both Com 1 and Com 2 work great as well. Definitely the best deal for price and quality in Plus Ones Fleet.
11/12/2022	eesser	5291E	4	4	4	4	8391	Very strong smooth running engine. Plane flys great. Love the G5 setup. Climbs like crazy.
11/12/2022	stevekstevek	79212	3	3	4	4	9249	I’ve flown a lot of different 172s, including a lot of time in modern 172SPs, and this guy really performs. Easy 1000fpm climbs with 3 adults. The FBO it’s in is super fancy. No step on the side to check fuel, but they’ll bring a ladder for you.
11/14/2022	flyboy617	20867	5	5	3	3	8445	Strongest 182P in the fleet. Departed from a high DA airport with 3 other 200# dudes + gear and it climbed like a champ. The guages are very accurate, and I particularly appreciated the carb temperature gauge. The G3X and radios work great. Could not get the autopilot to engage however, even after letting it go through "test" mode. The owner is very responsive and you can you tell he takes pride in having a nice aircraft for his pilots. I just hope the aircraft doesn't get treated like a "rental" now...
11/21/2022	Amjaffer	172SX	5	5	5	5	12550	Fantastic airplane for a short or long day trip. Handles beautifully and the avionics are top notch!
11/23/2022	eesser	80906	5	5	5	5	13616	This is the nicest airplane I've ever flown. All glass panels but not too intimidating esp if you are coming from G5 and are at least familiar with the tape. Strong 180HP engine, great climb perf, flies very straight.
11/25/2022	eric.anderson.navy	7603C	2	2	2	2	59261	Mechanically sound aircraft. Good for practicing maneuvers.
11/26/2022	Kuklaste	95MR	4	4	4	4	36675	Took this plane on a family cross country to KMEV. Great useful load; super clean inside and out; and great avionics. The only thing that could make it better is an autopilot but it trimmed up beautifully and was a dream to fly.
11/26/2022	jamespgraymd	5208D	4	4	4	4	12982	My favorite plane in the club so far. Clean, looks like a lot of new updates to the exterior and interior. Handles beautifully. Amazing plane.
11/29/2022	agustinabalaguer	91630	2	1	3	2	13255	When Gus S. owned this aircraft the maintenance was pristine, always prompt to fix any issue. There is duct tape in the filtered air inlet going to the carburetor.
	but should be kept in good condition."
11/22/2022	sanchezgdominic	75733	5	5	5	5	57366	This aircraft comes packed with all the necessary equipment to complete any flight, whether it is a cross country in VMC or IMC. Also, I recommend taking a few flights during the day in VMC if it is your first time flying an aircraft with all glass panels, like this one. Overall, excellent condition, flies great, and nicely insulated. One thing that is appreciated while using non-noise canceling headsets is when an aircraft cabin can block most of the engine noise. The panels are also very intuitive, and provide reliable engine monitoring readouts that help keep suitable power through different phases of flight.
11/22/2022	htorrespr	75733	5	5	5	5	57366	Best equipped C172, great avionics, great interior, amazing cross country platform.
12/02/2022	tantalum	210BX	3	3	3	3	12582	So it doesn't have G5s or GI-275. Big deal, the plane starts up great (even hot), flies fast, strong, and and climbs well. You've got a 530 and dual NAV needles with an STEC autopilot. Not sure what else you need. Too bad the O2 doesn't work but it's a great plane! I'll be flying it more
12/03/2022	quinnsaville	36711	4	4	3	4	12915	I took this plane XC to Arizona and the avionics (I think it's a G750), trim, and interior were all quite comfortable for the long ride. The photos and description don't mention its avionics, but this is surprisingly one of the better Archers in the fleet because of the Bluetooth and ADSB-In. A little difficult to start the engine, but it is otherwise a very capable IO-360.
12/09/2022	utlonghorn2008	96621	5	5	5	5	13278	Great plane! Nice avionics suite and great interior!
12/11/2022	Walt	738AZ	3	3	4	3	13606	Clean looking plane. Flies very well. Interior as nice as any older A/C. No issues at all with my BFR. Classic instruments and avionics for the most part, but all functional.
12/13/2022	kent814	2169F	4	4	4	5	37102	Fun plane to fly, flew it for my PA28 checkout. Handled smoothly and has dual G5’s which is always a good bonus on a club plane
12/14/2022	HerkDriver	6409D	4	4	4	3	46893	Great flying airplane, really enjoyed flying it and will rent it again.
12/17/2022	pdwillia40	4629D	4	4	4	4	9194	Great plane. Very clean, flies well and the GTN 630 is easy to use.
12/19/2022	dbalint7	80906	5	4	5	5	13616	One of the best C172 in the fleet! Beautiful airplane, excellent avionics, performs very well, stable, and has a very responsive owner. Great value for the price!
12/20/2022	jamespgraymd	6409D	5	5	5	5	46893	Just took my checkride in this plane. It’s beautiful inside and out, has had major work done and updates. Love the EGT gauge. The aircraft maintenance logbook was well-kept, easy to obtain, and in perfect order with everything needed for a checkride easily accessible and highlighted. Very happy to have his plane in the club!
12/22/2022	Alexmal	9488G	5	5	5	5	13267	Best plane that I tried so far ! And the owner is super nice and explained a lot of things !
12/22/2022	westoneichner	75605	4	5	4	5	13147	People are underestimating this plane. The outside is completely fine, just the paint is dull. The avionics are sweet! Garmin GNS530 to at least see where you are in relation to airspace but really have to use those eyes to find traffic! Classic six pack was awesome to fly with, although I do find this plane a bit pricy for its avionics package. Climbed with 4 people and full tanks, 800 fpm. Will definitely use her in the future.
12/24/2022	capassoma	91630	3	3	3	3	13255	Good flying airplane for the price.
12/24/2022	cfairweather	561SA	4	4	4	4	13013	Great plane. Fuel injection is awesome. I will be booking this plane more often.
12/28/2022	jkapenas	737HY	4	4	3	3	13095	A nice club ride.
12/28/2022	jkapenas	734DN	3	2	3	4	13076	Great panel. It flies well!
01/06/2023	jkapenas	737HY	4	4	4	4	13095	My favorite club plane! Nice avionics, panel and interior. Decent paint. Flies great!
01/08/2023	prissy	60GL	3	5	5	5	8415	Beautiful tailwheel. Great for aerobatics !!
01/12/2023	jgerun	4323X	5	5	5	3	60752	Very power aircraft. Beautiful, new, interior and super clean, fresh exterior. Mostly steam gauges but all in good working order on a clean panel. Even has an autopilot! Very stable and will be great on cross countries. The owner really cares about this aircraft.
01/18/2023	francisj	34CF	5	4	4	3	5987	This Skywagon trims very well, has great power with the new upgraded engine and prop. Great cruise speed. Beautiful plane!
01/21/2023	eitandzur	728TB	4	4	5	3	27382	Suuuuuper clean and pretty plane. Great upgraded LED lighting for night ops and for a 160 she has fantastic power. The avionics are rock solid and she is one of the few 160s with an AP. Only real strike against her is that there is no link to Foreflight to get ADS-B in. Will definitely be using her for instrument training.
01/21/2023	eitandzur	4389X	3	3	3	3	12955	Decently clean inside and out, avionics are solid, (can connect directly to the transponder for traffic on ForeFlight), and for someone who is used to FG she's super fast and powerful. Easy transition from other Piper models.
01/22/2023	skameron1	213CD	5	4	5	5	6194	Great SR20 "hybrid" with newer avionics, no vacuum instruments left, a place for the iPad on the console with is more useful than the MFD that came with the plane. It's well maintained, love that it's in a hanger, flies great. The owner is responsive, helpful and takes great care of the plane. Highly recommend.
01/22/2023	eitandzur	4323X	5	4	5	3	60752	Gorgeous inside and out and has a great engine (we had 750ft/min climb with full fuel and two people). Avionics aren't as good as some other planes, but totally functional.
01/22/2023	slackyhacky	756RA	4	4	4	4	13158	Wonderful plane to fly. I am excited to continue to learn in the only 182RG available. It's really expensive however. Many of the PA-24-250s in the club (much larger engine) are much cheaper, for example.
01/25/2023	RDanielson	5396E	2	2	2	2	12992	I’ve flown most of the Skyhawks in the club and this is hands down the best flying airplane for stick and rudder skills. The pedals are light, roll and pitch are crisp. It glides well and trims easy.

	OG Steam gauges	old GPS	0
01/27/2023	jmorris78	950AC	3	3	3	3	9261	Fun plane to fly.
01/27/2023	harald67	60GL	5	5	5	5	8415	It's a well maintained aerobatic open-cockpit biplane. It makes my day every time I sit in it.
01/29/2023	ryan_hartman	57679	4	3	4	3	35992	Great taildragger for training and pure, fun flying. Steve takes good care of her and is awesome to work with.
02/03/2023	jkapenas	734NF	4	4	4	4	60771	This plane is completely done up! Looks great in and out and has a great avionics package. Rolls a little left but owner said will fix at 50 hour. Love this plane!!!
02/04/2023	capassoma	44886	4	3	4	3	13380	This plane is clean and flew well. It is in very good condition.
02/04/2023	bwwamsle	561SA	3	2	3	3	13013	I am sure this plane was beautiful on the inside a long time ago, but it is showing its age. POH is a mess. "Quick" checklist is NOT for this plane. Nice avionics: Dual G5 & GTN650, but supplemental data not up-to-date. Older but nice COMM panel & #2 NAV-COM. Speaker works! Nice ENG instruments. Solid doors and locks (thank you!). Either get a checkout or download the manual off Schedule Master (or both!) if not familiar. I will add this aircraft to those I fly regularly.
02/04/2023	Kuklaste	811TW	4	4	4	4	13198	Great aircraft and a pleasure to fly! Not a lot of new glass in the cockpit so it feels solid and at home. I think it’s one of the newest aircraft in the fleet and although I finished are probably original it’s got that new airplane feel. Great avionics and super comfortable and capable auto pilot. This will be my new X country aircraft of choice for the family.
02/05/2023	eitandzur	16422	4	4	4	4	12527	Very pretty and well maintained plane with good avionics.
02/06/2023	eric.anderson.navy	74C	5	5	5	5	56187	Great plane with great instruments. Pricey but you get a solid product.
02/06/2023	eric.anderson.navy	256J	5	5	5	5	31547	Beautiful plane with solid performance and maintenance. Very comforting to fly a plane in such good condition.
02/08/2023	prissy	4555W	5	5	5	5	35291	Best aerobatic plane in the club !!!
02/10/2023	ELECTSMITH	44886	5	5	5	3	13380	I enjoyed flying this plane. I went on the Bay Tour. The controls where smooth and the plane was great to fly. I will fly this plane more often.
02/16/2023	sterpstra	756RA	5	5	5	5	13158	By far, one of the best airplanes in the fleet. Mr. Reid is very nice and responsive and the plane is an amazing powerhouse with an incredible useful load. This will be my go to now for all cross country flights.
02/17/2023	sleipness	2989U	5	5	5	5	60814	Beautiful airplane, very well maintained and it shows. The owner is very approachable and interested in providing a good rental experience! Will definitely fly this plane again.
02/17/2023	eric.anderson.navy	60GL	4	4	5	3	8415	Total blast to fly. Definitely enjoy the visibility in the open cockpit.
02/18/2023	smnsnlmx	738AZ	4	4	4	3	13606	One can definitely tell the owner is taking very good care of the airplane. It has a pitot tube cover (most club planes don't), and things are organized in a storage bin (with cover!) in the baggage compartment. Classic Instruments yet look very new and very easy to read.
02/19/2023	cn3550	2989U	5	5	5	5	60814	Very new aircraft, with excellent performance.

	and Autopilot made for a very smooth cross country. Definitely recommend!"
02/19/2023	jnew985	52799	3	3	4	3	13402	Nice CC plane. Well equipped and the owner is fantastic at responding to maintenance issues promptly.
02/20/2023	fablackmon4	499DR	3	3	3	3	58671	Plane was great, super fun to fly and a smooth ride. I'll absolutely be adding this to my short list for cross countries
02/26/2023	jkiremidjian@gmail.com	96621	4	4	4	5	13278	Super clean plane! Runs great and has excellent avionics. 10/10 would rent again.
03/09/2023	jrallen9	2989U	5	5	5	5	60814	This is an excellent aircraft with advanced avionics. A giant GTN 750, 4x GTX 275s rounds out the a great IFR platform. Garmin GFC 500 auto pilot reduces your workload and a powerful 180 HP Lycoming for over 1400 lbs of useful load.
03/13/2023	mccaskillr13	739RF	4	3	4	4	13127	Great aircraft for training flights. The G5 is awesome to have. Only gripe with the aircraft would be the comm 2 display looked a little burnt out but hey couldve just been how i was sitting.
03/15/2023	HerkDriver	7577N	4	4	4	4	42735	Great aircraft, well maintained, solid 182! Love flying 7577N!
03/19/2023	mccaskillr13	74C	5	5	5	5	56187	This is the nicest 172 I have ever seen. The Garmin set up is unmatched. Still smells like brand new carpet. If you’re doing some sort of sightseeing Flight, this is the one to do it in.
03/21/2023	capassoma	52799	3	3	3	3	13402	Great airplane. Good Condition and flies well. Great for cross country flights.
03/22/2023	Planenerd747	9488G	4	4	4	5	13267	I really liked this plane and the owner is extremely kind and cares about it. He was extremely friendly and helped setup the Bluetooth ADSB built in to the aircraft. Overall a great plane!
03/23/2023	mauriciogodinez	2989U	5	5	5	5	60814	Love the climbing power of this bird, the placement of the glass instrument panel is perfect for redundancy in my IFR training. The plane is very clean and it looks well maintained. I will be flying xc next to check out the AP on this bird definitely!
03/24/2023	alexhuff1	499DR	3	3	3	3	58671	Great airplane. Starts up well, descent 430, not too many bells and whistles.
03/25/2023	Zipsp51	734DN	3	3	3	3	13076	enjoyed Flying this plane,
03/25/2023	john.christenson	2989U	3	3	3	3	60814	Well maintained plane, great avionics setup, reliable autopilot. Owner cares about providing a good product.
03/25/2023	edwardehopkins	74C	5	5	5	5	56187	As an avionics designer I have to admit this panel is top notch, I think I found my IFR trainer!
03/25/2023	Toptridad	2772P	4	4	3	3	59784	Nice airplane. Strong, powerful engine! Interior is nice as well especially the seats-comfortable!! Avionics are solid. The owner has placed some extra headsets in the plane for renters use which will be nice when taking passengers. This was my first flight in 2772P and I look forward to flying again.
03/26/2023	pdwillia40	79212	4	3	3	4	9249	The GTN 730 and new audio system make a great 172 even better!
03/26/2023	alexhuff1	36711	4	3	4	4	12915	I took this airplane for several cross countries, including my first trip to Vegas. A solid, easy flying, and easy starting Archer II. The GTN 750 just spoils you, and it's very easy to use. The only issue is that it does not have an autopilot, but as long you properly trim and keep an eye on it, you shouldn't have a problem. This aircraft is definitely on my shortlist of cross country aircraft.
03/27/2023	jbalasek	5208D	4	3	4	3	12982	This plane is a great VFR flyer, the VORs are out of date so no IFR for now but it is a great trainer
03/27/2023	eric.anderson.navy	8333P	5	5	5	3	47576	Solid performance and look. Very well equipped aircraft.
03/30/2023	jkapenas	733JW	4	3	3	4	13064	GREAT C172!!! It's been my preferred plane for years. Glad it's getting a new interior. It will be perfect once that is done!
03/30/2023	jkapenas	734NF	4	4	4	4	60771	Just did my check ride in it. No problems at all! Maintained very well. Most everything in/out is updated. Runs great! I fly it all the time since it came in the club.
03/30/2023	jkapenas	737HY	4	4	4	4	13095	This is my first choice of the fleet. Everything about it is tight. Owner quick to respond and fix discrepancies.
03/30/2023	jkapenas	797RJ	4	4	4	4	13179	Used this plane for my instrument check ride and haven't stopped yet. I prefer the 50 gallon tanks for my many x-country adventures with the fam. Well maintained.
04/01/2023	neilhuffaker	79212	4	3	3	5	9249	Awesome new panel upgrades!!
04/01/2023	timkrott	2989U	4	4	4	5	60814	Very clean airplane. Excellent avionics. Owner is very approachable and helpful. Will definitely be renting again.
04/01/2023	jason919	214A	4	3	3	3	12592	Didn’t have a strong acceleration, but other than that this aircraft was super enjoyable to fly! Great climb performance, G5s were great. I’m not as used to the 430 but it was no problem! 100% would fly N214A again
04/03/2023	ZACHKRAUSE	9488G	5	5	5	5	13267	Great Aircraft; can't beat the avionics and extra hp for the price. Very clean also!
04/03/2023	cfairweather	16422	5	5	5	5	12527	Pricey, but great cross country plane that will get you there faster anyways. Avionics are awesome. Pairing with the Flight Stream feature in the Garmin 750 makes flight plan changes and diversions incredibly easy. One of my favorites to fly.
04/04/2023	becky@vincent-enterprises.com	20867	5	4	4	5	8445	N20867 has become my favorite C182 in the fleet. Very excited about the touchscreen avionics. Love it!
04/07/2023	alexhuff1	811TW	4	5	4	3	13198	One word, Amazing. An awesome 182T with a basic 6 pack, 530, and KAP140 autopilot. Starts up easily, flies great, absolutely spectacular.
04/08/2023	markjoplin	4956D	3	3	3	3	5997	This airplane flies great in that it climbs very well and the cruise speed was faster than most 172's with same horse power. Appearance inside and out are minor compared to the performance!
04/11/2023	stevekstevek	214A	4	4	5	3	12592	Had a great flight up to Big Bear in 214A. Performed well and everything worked (aside from a warning on the 430 that I didn’t pay much attention to as I was VFR). Very clean fresh paint (and a decent job), plus all the mechanicals looked great on the walk around.
04/12/2023	eric.anderson.navy	7233Y	3	3	2	4	56232	Great plane. Fast (faster than the Duchess), fun, and easy to fly. Can't beat the price and a very responsive owner.
04/15/2023	dmbranco	5150D	4	4	4	3	13389	Great airplane, with GPS and digital heading/attitude indicators. Climbs fast. Nice upholstery. I don't have an complaints except for the 12V socket, which I think is not working. Other than that, very nice airplane.
04/19/2023	msparks	28GK	5	5	5	5	61207	This is a really nice Super Decathlon !
	well looked after	loved and flown by the owner.

04/21/2023	jeremymhirst	2989U	5	5	5	4	60814	Great flying plane and wonderful owner inspires confidence. This is a plane you would feel comfortable taking friends and family up in.
04/21/2023	smnsnlmx	74C	5	5	5	5	56187	My favorite aircraft in the club. It's pricey but you get what you paid for.
05/02/2023	frankgyuri22@yahoo.com	5291E	5	3	4	5	8391	flown recently more then 20 hours x c without any issue mainly on 10k ft 3POB +bagagge. Good climbing, good cruising speed. Excellent instruments. Everything was working well
05/02/2023	alichtman	7620G	3	3	3	5	9231	I enjoyed flying N7620G very much. It was a dependable companion in my 10 day cross country trip with my wife and a pilot colleague. Comfortable, lovely to fly and well instrumented C172. Hope to fly it again in the future
05/04/2023	rhardoon	2989U	4	4	3	5	60814	My compliments to the aircraft owner. We loved renting this bird. I was shocked to see how mordernized this vintage 172 is. Frankly it is much better equipped than some lter model 172's. No squawks at all. Will rent again!
05/05/2023	m.tomm@tiscali.it	79212	3	3	3	4	9249	I flew this plane with two other pilot friends for a cross country flight over the Southwest and I have to say that it performed really great. Low oil consumption, high climbing capability and above all a brand new all Garmin panel recently upgraded. I really appreciated that the owner Neil answered all my question in near real time.
05/07/2023	stanleymcdaniel	734DN	3	3	3	4	13076	ADS-B In is very helpful in alerting and identifying aircraft along some of inbound and outbound funneling areas to MYF.


05/07/2023	Toptridad	4956D	3	3	3	3	5997	Great flying airplane at a great price! Flew 56D for my 172 checkout. Great power on climb out. Plane was stable on approach even though it was quite gusty. I will definitely rent again!
05/09/2023	Pilotguy960	60GL	5	5	5	5	8415	Just an incredible aircraft we have in our club. Well maintained and a blast to fly! Thank you for sharing this wonderful plane with us.
05/09/2023	alichtman	7620G	3	3	3	5	9231	I enjoyed flying N7620G very much. It was a dependable companion in my 10 day cross country trip with my wife and a pilot colleague. Comfortable, lovely to fly and well instrumented C172. Hope to fly it again in the future
05/10/2023	ChrisCo	40904	3	3	3	3	57838	Great avionics and clean
05/13/2023	eric.anderson.navy	1607D	5	5	5	3	51823	This plane is amazing. My favorite plane to fly in the club hands down. She will show you all your faults so you improve significantly.
05/13/2023	eric.anderson.navy	28GK	5	5	5	4	61207	Fun and powerful tailwheel that is fairly easy and forgiving.
05/13/2023	eric.anderson.navy	5150D	5	5	5	5	13389	Best skyhawk in the fleet. Very good private/instrument trainer.
05/13/2023	eric.anderson.navy	7233Y	3	3	2	3	56232	Very solid performing aircraft. Fast and very fun to fly. Definitely my favorite twin in the club.
05/15/2023	chrislarkin	5291E	3	3	4	4	8391	91E is well maintained, safe, and climbs like a beast. Nice avionics upgrade too! A very fun plane to fly... definitely in my top 3 at Plus One.
05/23/2023	athilenius	75733	5	5	5	5	57366	Chicken Hawk is the poster-child of what a rental should be; it's reasonably priced, modern, and very clearly loved. That's also it's biggest disadvantage, it's absurdly busy and gets more busy as more people like me discover it. It's one of VERY few 172s in Plus One Flyers that don't leave me feeling disappointed at best, and deeply unsafe at worst.

	finding it was the primary reasons I decided to start my IFR instead of leaving Plus One Flyers altogether. I was so disheartened by the state	schedule and cost of planes in POF that I thought I might just give up flying until I finish the RV-14 I'm building. The schedule for 733 is miserable no doubt	0
05/25/2023	Marty Lebedda	9488G	5	5	5	5	13267	Just flew this plane yesterday for about th7th time. Absolutely LOVE this plane. the 180HP upgrade is awesome and makes it perform like an S. Pedro was at the plane yesterday and showed me a few things about the plane I didn't know. He is such a great guy! I look forward to flying this plane much more and any of Pedros other planes too! Absolutely can't beat this plane for price and performance.
06/01/2023	gwmacedo	74881	5	4	4	5	9219	Fast little cruiser with good useful load, range and an upgraded panel. Excellent avionics for single-pilot IFR. Here is the best video to get a quick start on this setup: https://youtu.be/jLB14taE_tY
	too."
06/03/2023	jon.s.maroney@gmail.com	20392	3	3	3	3	59268	I've flown this aircraft twice so far and cannot complain. Basic instruments work as expected and the plane flies and handles smoothly. Owner is friendly and responsive. He even has a Sentry in the plane for your use, which I think is great and wish more owners would do the same. I will certainly be renting again.
06/04/2023	HerkDriver	2989U	4	4	4	4	60814	Excellent aircraft, well equipped. My go to!
06/05/2023	pilotchippof	4323X	4	5	5	3	60752	Convenient ramp access with your vehicle and next to fuel pump. Excellent paint and seats. Older steam panel, but solid VOR/LOC and Garmin 430. Great audio panel (non Bluetooth). Music aux input and USB charging. Great hand flyer. Has a Piper autopilot, but I haven't used anything other than heading mode yet. Will be a first choice for easy xc and IFR.
07/20/2023		237RJ	2	2	1	3	27803	For the price, I would not rent this airplane again. It seems clear that pride of ownership is missing. The interior is trashed and the airplane is generally way to pricey for the value received.
12/21/2023	Spencebr	2989U	3	3	3	3		Awesome plane, with great avionics, fly's great. Owner is very involved and very responsive.


01/02/2024	lindsayrgrant	734DN	2	1	2	3		This plane is pretty run down cosmetically. It could use some TLC. Big hole in the ceiling, seatbelt is coming apart on the right seat, and dirty exterior. Plane flies well and has nice comms (mic did keep getting stuck though), but the overall appearance definitely needs work. I was very disappointed that is costs $145/hr with 160HP and looks the way it does. Much nicer planes in the club to fly at that price.
02/10/2024	rahmoore21	44886	4	4	5	4	13380	Amazingly maintained aircraft, always booked so make your reservations early and often!
02/10/2024	brycewaters17@gmail.com	80906	5	4	5	5	13616	Beautiful Airplane! Flys great and looks even better. You can tell the owner is very meticulous.
02/14/2024	Demisgpz@gmail.com	214A	5	5	5	5	12592	Great XC/IFR trainer. One of my favorites.
03/01/2024	danielkrogh	738TB	3	3	3	3	13118	I have flown this plane the last few years and it has never let me down.
