I put my name down on line 1 this morning, our local version of old man Ames had to vote by mail this year. A sign announcing this is the last round for our polling place was the greeting at the...

We see a fair amount of this in our flight school aircraft, not usually a pre-heat issue for us but more from screaming RPM starts. Effect the same from both, no oil in the barrell initially. We get...

A lot of "ifs" in this but if you have the vacuum sense switch connected through a crappy little tap into the vacuum supply line and if the tap is connected by way of a little hose, that might be the...

I had the experience of having that talk with my flight instructor, 25 years after I got my ticket. He made a marginal landing with me in the right seat during a maintenance flight and asked me "why...

Check out Clearlake info via the seaplane fly-in group that holds an event in September. I think they have a lakefront motel that is Seaplane friendly. http://www.clearlakesplashin.com/ I don't have...

I just put an Atlee Dodge long step on a PA-11 during recover. Installed the clamps. covered the gear and added 2 layers of 4" tape at the step install line to make the fabric tougher for the...

You might find something thru customer service @ http://www.msacarbs.com/ , they have been good to me.

Aaron,
I'm just up the road in Novato @ Gnoss Field, come by sometime and take a look at the PA-12 project I have here in the shop. It will be going to my home shop soon to make room but you are...

Have not seen the saying but heard something similar in a eulogy for a USMC pilot; (cleared for take-off, throttles full forward, unrestricted climb approved, for the sake of those left behind report...

That beast is georgeous.
I will go home now, cut the fabric off my -12 project and satrt over.

I have been thinking long and hard about this question, I've got nothing here.
My questions as a mechanic are not answered in any meaningful way, the IA meetings are filled with thinly covered...

I have spliced a bunch of them and it is just work. The old school method of getting enough ribs out of the way and clamping the new section to the existing, then cutting both with a NEW, quality...

I still have a canvas bucket GI shower with the shower head screwed in the bottom. Holds a few gallons and flow is pretty good. You have to heat the water first.
Heavier than the solar shower I have...

My originals for N3243M & N3315M show same as above by Speedo, also signed by J.E. Crowley. Tail wheel shown @ 200" but you might measure tail post to axle to confirm 200" is not center of weight for...

Us Kaliforniaaans (as Arnold says) find that a slice of deer hide removed from just below the tail is effective in stopping sandwich theft when placed on wheat with mayo & jack cheese.

As I recall, the Airframe Handbook from days gone by had a good section on generators but sure can't seem to find mine now.
I also remember that some (can't remember if "A" or "B" circuit type) will...

Recent personal experience says 3M # 77 will dissolve in the slightest presence of avgas. It will hold much better when hot if you use 3M Adhesive Primer but still not much good for upholstery.

Bought my wife a new car within the last year with XM installed. If they know what is good for them, they won't quit the programming. She would tear someone a new outflow valve and I would lay low to...

Well, I can say the electronic bird repellors from Bird-X work for about a month, then the starlings rest on it. The little buggers like to pull down the ceiling insulation and walk in to a cozy...

I've put them in the parts washer with a piece of hose clamped over one end and flushed for a few hours then followed with lube. Just make sure it is sticky from old lube and not coming apart...

I have a set of mount bushings for the A-C series Cont that I ordered by mistake(?). Actually not sure why or how I ordered them but I did. They are free to someone that can use them. I don't want to...

With my recent experiences for field approvals, you might just as well go to a DER and get a stamp on your drawings first. I have had good luck generally with local FSDO but they are stepping back...

Sooooo, how many forced landings have you done with an engine failure immediately after takeoff at 50-100 ft agl, and how did they turn out???

Unless the answers are "more than five," and...

Bad enough that genius hits a cow, that he apparently didn't see in an open field, but did you catch that post/pole he about clipped with the wing tip?
