When I had my TriPacer, I had the 60” pitch prop repitched to either 53”, one inch less than the max allowed. Boy could that thing climb! Didn’t...

That was back in 1977. A long time ago. For my IA in 1980, you needed to bring in a wheelbarrow full of books ( regulations, TCDS, ADs, ACs) since...

There is nothing particularly hard about getting an A&P certificate, two choices, go to an A&P school (Part 147), minimum hours is 1900 for the...

Case fretting is often due to incorrect torquing procedures on the through bolts or incorrect sealing. I’ve run O-320s over 7000 hours with no...

Much of the issue today is that A&P schools don’t teach what is required to maintain small aircraft. The push has been large aircraft systems, turban...

And while we’re at it, what really is “certified”? Any of you guys with Cessna (ARC) radios ever look at the data tags on them? No TSO on the great...

There is a SB that has you put an airspeed indicator in the oil fill tube with a plug, then run the engine. If the “airspeed” (pressure) in the case...

What Glenn said. Not a lot of labor to pull the jug and have a new guide put in. Of course check for cracks while it’s off. I’ve run O-320s over 7000...

Not upset at all. I tried to help out and gave the possible locations. My comment about equipment lists is a pet peeve of mine. They are a required...

Thanks, I didn’t have the spec handy. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

If you actually have an equipment list like you are supposed to, it will list the station number of the power pack(s). Some systems have one central...

You can order the FAA CD on the airplane, it will have all the 337s for the airplane. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
