So the broken o-ring that was known about earlier isn't correct?[/quote]

According to the testimony...they got rubber over the shakers. Don't know if that was Annular preventer rubber or Variable...

No doubt. I've got about 600 TW spread between PA-18's, PA-20's and Cessna 180's. I still don't feel that I have the required skill/experience to let a student "get a little out of shape" and then...

Powerful television, powerful story. Unfortunatley, they made the common mistake of drawing the wrong conclusion.

If you work in a technical capactiy that requires decision making, planning, design or have people working with you that you rely on for any critical function needs to watch this testimony. If you...

just above freezing generally. The issue is not really ice....it's gas hydrates. The hydrate molecule resembles ice and exists at extreme depths, low temps and in arctic regions. There is a...

Like iamcamper said...most oil and gas is "geo pressured"....that is it's pressure can be influenced by the pressure of the fluid column above it or the earth's overburden. Generally, oil and gas...

This is my understanding as well. I am a drilling engineer, not currently working deep water (sub sea well heads/BOP's) but did do some early in my career. Basically, the accoustic devices are just...

Unfortunately, the realistic option is to hope that the formation bridges off while you are drilling the intercept well.

Thoughts and prayers to the 11 guys our industry lost. Let's hope we learn...

I've never even met Mike but his posts on this board (and others) have been extremely helpful.

I disagree....with my O-470 $200 will get me exactly one hamburger at the closest neighboring airport!!! :D

Steve,

What tires does your 180 have on it?

Thanks,
Bill

Congratulations Steve....great to hear it's coming together. It goes without saying that a pilot report is in order.

Bill

exact numbers vary somewhat obviously......but I think 1650 lbs is a reasonable estimate.

Texas 12 Driver,

I've owned 2 180's now....the first was a '55 model. To me the most important thing is sheetmetal, specifically around the gear boxes. The second being corrosion. To me...

That's great news. Maybe we can meet her up in DFW soon.

Every noble work is at first impossible

4 years and keeps on ticking.

Ditto. Looking through the logs on my plane every engine went to tbo and most without pulling a cylinder. The vast majority of the time on my plane was .7 hour trips to the guy's favorite fishing...

Joint venture between Kinder Morgan, Sempra and Conoco Phillips.

With the goals that Steve pointed out above in mind, I think that coming up with some set, arbitrary "slow flight configuration" is kind of useless.

If I understand you correctly, your goal is to...

While this won't impress anyone, down here with temps in the teens, the e-zheat worked great. Plugged it in last weekend with a moving blanket on the cowl. In 4 hours the oil temp was off the...

This could quite possibly be the best phrase on the internet...ever. :D
