What year? They have been saying that for 5 years now. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Ray, what might “the right price” be? I don’t really need one, but would go $1000 if it has all the dies. Can’t really justify spending any more on a...

Like all federal agencies, DEI is more important than safety or actually doing what they were chartered to do. I got my ass in trouble the other day...

Likely at least 5 years away yet. Hasn’t been out as an NPRM yet. Once it is out for NPRM they have to wait for comments, then adjudicate all the...

I always just wiped down stuff with mineral spirits then used pledge to bring back the shine. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

While not in Part 43, the IA information guide states “Incomplete Inspection If an annual inspection is not completed, the holder of an IA should:...

Again does not fit with the requirements of Part 43. You are either doing an annual inspection or you aren’t. You can’t do part of it, break it off,...

Ask yourself the following questions: If welding is "Elementary", why is half of Chapter 4 in AC43.13-1B all about welding? Can anyone off the street...

Value is all up to the buyer/user. Prices seem to be all over the place since no two Cubs are the same. Something to consider, some life insurance...

Sliding a tube in and bolting or otherwise not welding would save the cover. Personally I would prefer to run a sleeve 3 to 6” either side of the...

But all that useful info that used to be on the TCDS is no longer there! That said, they may have been on the TCDS for the likes of Cherokees and...

There are very few “no damage history” airplanes that are more than 20 years old. There are thousands of “no documented damage history” out there in...

Without going through all the posts, if your FAA guy gives you any more grief about TSO, just remind him that all those KX170s, all those ARC328s,...

My O-235 has no tube, just screws right into the case. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

There is a Flight Manual Supplement that is required to be with the airplane when operated. That said, I've never seen it and suspect the performance...

All we can do is monitor the Federal Register to see if an NPRM is ever issued. If one comes out we need to get EVERY owner and mechanic that works...

Once it leaves their quality system they have no control over it, so won’t make any comment about it. It is the installer that is responsible for...

My FAA managing specialists at both the FSDO and the MIDO knew nothing about this. They both said we need to follow 8130.2. Current policy even says...

Unction 91.207 calls out a requirement to install a TSO C126 ELT, they can’t require you to test the 406 mhz output. I’m not saying it isn’t a good...

Kind of a catch 22. The ELT provides instructions on how to test (instructions for continued airworthiness) to comply with the 92.207(d) requirement....

When deciding on an ELT, initial cost, battery cost and life, ease of installation, and requirement for special test equipment should all be part of...

Hardest part for Attlee or Dakota tanks is taking all those damn #4x1/4 PK screws out, especially if they rusted, or worse yet, someone put stainless...

As stated earlier, when you pull the P lead it internally grounds the mag. If you disconnect the P lead from the switch the mag should work. Years...

Once they do provide the guidance 8130.2 and AWC updated, the only way existing certificates can be updated to the new limitations is to apply for an...

Every certificate I write I try and give a phase 1 test area large enough so you can fly in one direction for an hour at normal cruise speed....

That would be correct. All the guys in Aircraft Certification Services were blindsided by this. Typical of FAA where the different divisions don’t...

You are correct, until Order 8130.2 and the AWC have been updated you will get the limitations in 8130.2. Keep in mind that this AC was written and...

Until FAA Order 8130.2 is updated there won’t be any change to operating limitations. I’m pretty sure it has to be published in the Federal Register...

Is there a Stearman Structural repair manual from either the Army PT-13/PT-17or Navy N2S? If so, you can use the data there rather than 43.13-1a. ...

Removing and installing systems is not preventive maintenance. If you do it it must be under the supervision of an A&P. Sent from my iPad using...
