I have the Skywagon SID files on my phone. The paragraph came from that. I’m not implying those planes are bad. I just think you should have some...

The only place I can find above referenced is for 210 wing spars. Where is that quote from? Also, Cessna's support page appears down for me.

I finished restoring a 1963 super cub in 2020. When it came time for fabric, I talked with a lot of people in the Fairbanks area about what type...

I shut down with the switch tests p leads every time.

One thing I should have mentioned about the Stewart products: wait until you are about ready to start before you buy. The shelf life doesn’t seem to...

I usually don't but it would not be hard to work it into the flow. DENNY

Pete beat me to it! Similar set up to what the stock Beavers had. Disconnect the p-leads at the firewall cannon plug and a contact inside that...

There are two different leaf contact springs. One like yours requires the long P-lead bushing. The other leaf spring is long enough so that it makes...

I had a far more obscure fault on a P lead of my PA-28-180. Back when when it was a 6 way partnership one of the members reported a 200 rpm loss of...

Fine way to see the man behind the camera. Jerry

Cardiff, if you’re seriously looking at a plane with such high time? You’d be wise to read the SID documents. Find out what the manufacturer...

I actually got my hands on the airframe logs yesterday- all 7 of them. Read through every page. 100 hr inspections basically every 5 weeks and...

Do you do a mag check at the end of your flight just before shutting down? Not many of us do. How else would you know if you had a P-lead wire...

My neighbor that crashed had over 15K hrs on his C-185. After flying in rain black streaks from fretting would form here and there, especially on the...

On some (more than one or two) of the planes I've owned and flown the P-lead braided shield was loose at the magnetos. Just pulled up close and...

When I was flying helicopters offshore out of Kenai, the cold water survival instructor made one comment that stuck with me - “a healthy person in...

It has been awhile since I used oratex, maybe it is improved. Since then I have covered one airplane in polyfiber with aerothane and one airplane...

I always flew YOUR airplanes with the utmost care....right up till I didn't. MTV

Unless you taxi in 'her' cove. Web

I wouldn't broadcast that you're not paying federal taxes to the IRS....Just sayin..... MTV

Bad ground from engine to airframe will let you know real quick. High resistance will show as slow starter speed. Broken/no ground strap will show as...

Agreed! Agency squads at a fleet auction might look like a bargain until you actually witness how hard those 100k miles are in person. Aircraft...

I called the last IA to work on my switch (SB rebuild) He did not remember offhand if it was grounded to the frame but if it was in the instructions...

Try that around here and you my not like the results. The Coast Guard training for cold water immersion states that if you can survive the first few...

At least we won't have to pay for her keep

Cessna wings need replaced by 15,000 hours. Rear spars and other internal parts get stress fatigue, and are going to fail. While they may have...
