Mine is inside a metal T hangar, I”m the third hangar down on a line of about 10 or 12 nested T hangars. The power receptacle are on the inside...

I question the accuracy of the temperature reading from the SwitcheOn unit. Current temp at HGR is 44 degrees, my hangar is a plain metal T hangar...

Thanks for the warning. I'll try it in real cold to see how it does. It does have tip over protection and I put it on a piece of sheet metal so it is...

Installed a SwitcheOn last week. One leg to the two pad heaters on the PA-30 engines and the other leg on a cheap Amazon 500/800W heater in the cabin...

To Bob’s point about using epoxy adhesive, I doubt you could get the inside of the 70+ year old tubing clean enough to get sufficient adhesion and...

Don’t forget the two aircraft that had failed rudders reported had larger engines with 82” props and were on floats without the required ventral fin...

No requirement for transponder or ADSB until you hit the 30 mile ring just like any other high density Class B airport. Lots of no radio and no...

The FRZ (pretty much the DCA 15 mile arc) is the area you can’t go into, pretty much excluded to general aviation. The SFRA around the FRZ has...

The Washington Baltimore Class B (defined by a 20 mile rings around BWI, IAD and DCA)has the 30 mile ring around it, anytime you are inside that ring...

Agree, but replacing just because it is “better” should be at owners discretion, not mandated. There are some simple inspections that could be...

When they wrote the NPRM they actually missed several models that have similar or the same rudders. Some things we have discovered since starting on...

Concur with all of the above, and that holds not only for EAB but for all other aircraft. Part 43 does not address Airworthiness Directives at all....

Any aircraft that was originally Standard or Restricted and was placed in Experimental Exhibition, Experimental R&D, Experimental Show Compliance,...

From FAA Order 8130.2J Paragraph 15-2 F. Type-Certificated Aircraft. Altering, repairing, or rebuilding type-certificated aircraft constitutes...

Unfortunately the AC contradicts 39.5 and 43.1. In 43.1 it states that experimental aircraft are exempt from part 43 requirements unless that...

Federal Register today has the 90 day extension for comments.

For PARENTS, remove all sugar (and foods containing sugars) from the kids diet and about 80% of the problems go away. Sugar is the most adictive drug...

Using the firewall can be handled just like using 60" forward of the LE, convert everything to the station you are using as the datum, or convert...

Every STC says it is the installers responsibility to determine comparability between previously installed alterations and the one you are...

Landing gear has been the primary limiting factor on both gross weight STC projects I’ve been involved with. Next is controllability and CG range. In...

Yeah, but his new TriPlane has a Lycoming! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

When I do a weighing I’ll usually draw chalk lines on the floor using a plumb Bob squares and even a laser. Then use a tape measure. Once I have the...

Was just up there about a month or so ago, did the certification on Brian’s new TriPlane. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Steve, does it change when you put extended gear on? Never worked on a Cub with extended gear, just curious. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I got a call from Murray Huling (AOPA Legal Affairs). He got word from FAA Rulemaking that they will be granting the 90 day extension to the comment...

Fully agree, a couple dollars of 3/4x.035 tubing and a couple rosette welds will fix it. No need for a $500 fix. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Bob, I never send an AMOC request to the FSDO. Every AD has the address for AMOC requests so that is where it goes, directly. In the past couple...

Moisture in the airplane, dirt, oil all add to the empty weight. Scales leveled on the floor, aircraft level on the scales, TARE weight not...
