Do you think she will have any USCG boat licenses revoked?

I’ll bet $100 she will spend time as a guest of the government. My guess is in the range of 10 to 18 months followed by 3-5 years wearing a GPS...

Somewhat similar gun issue in Alaska. I have friend who had "felony DUI" conviction (that means 3rd DUI) over 20 years ago. Sober now. He can own...

I’ve flown a Super Cub home with a broken tie wire. Not a huge deal, really. He could easily have broken something in the float rigging with that...

Thanks guys, I tried to transfer from AO to AE but couldn't get in, and glad you cleared the LED backwards polarity up, I thought for sure they would...

I don't know the sequence but several who watched the video commented that a float was moving abnormally before lift off. Seems unlikely to me that...

"I would like to see 75 - 100F or more." Why?? Are you referring to oil temp? Oil temp does not really accurately reflect the temp of the metal in...

When I installed the heat pump in my cabin in S central WA about 8 years ago, I specified a wi fi controlled thermostat. I leave it set at 45° for...

A float brace wire wasn't what that "caused" that accident. May have happened during the course of that process, but not what caused it. Once...

EZ Heat glues to the oil pan. Buy an insulated engine cover, plug in the night before, good to go in the AM, full engine heated. Or, buy one of...

The draft induction motor is above Dustin's right hand in this shot. I turned the furnace off and let the motor cool down (it was hot). 10 minutes...

We set up a few motion sensors with temp/light functions. Tied into a smarthome hub. Accessible anywhere via internet. Will also notify if...

'Making a difference' depends on what is connected in the circuit. Hang in there for the explanation. For simple items such as incandescent bulbs,...

There are reports that a float brace wire failed before the lift off and loss of control.

I did a little more research into what the FAA had the A&P school teach me. That’s basically all I know. I agree that the FAA is in the minority on...

I use a la crosse weather station w a few sensors. I like to know temp/humdity inside/outside/ and various rooms.

Any chance of sharing just what that takes-------actually turning it or bypassing something on the circuit board??? Thanks

I found news reports indicating the two occupants were relatively unscathed.

Tungsten filament lamps don't care about the direction of current flow. They are not sensitive to voltage polarity. Some lamps, e.g. simple LED...

That hurt to watch. Did the occupants make it? Couldn't tell from the video if any of the heads popping up were coming out or if they were people...

I have an EZ heat and it heats my whole engine very well. The trick is to have a cowl cover that is absolutely buttoned up tight. Very little air...

Here is a link to the post I copied that from, others are posting on it now https://vansairforce.net/community/showthread.php?t=213774

Thanks Web and FF for the simplified explanations. Regarding reverse polarity though, take your first example, the battery positive wire to light...

Reiff’s Hot Strips can be removed and reinstalled. My Cub’s Reiff is on its second engine. Not a big deal.

in the house, ive seen many houses where the pipes froze, even basements full of water.

Long time lurker, first time caller… Have gained a lot of knowledge from y’all! skywagon8a - does the name Gordon Newell ring a bell? 4B2,...

Minor alteration? I don't know - I'm Experimental (or the Canadian version thereof). Some of the Reiff parts can be moved to another engine, but...

You can switch it to the new engine, not a waste at all. You can also install it yourself, its easy to do.

switcheon and a real preheater so you can kick it on a couple hours before you go flying?

I could buy the reiff- but I kind of want another engine so seems like a waste. $700+ install. How much is install?
