I seem to remember another incident where O-rings didn't work so well when cold....

It definitely was the main rotor. You can see one blade disintegrate upon impact.

It has to have a big flat washer against the exposed bushing (forward). The rear bushing half is supported/covered by the engine mount flange and...

Same here, the biggest perceptible improvement was in elevator authority.

Mis-fueling was my immediate thought, but I was keeping quiet (rare) until we knew more. What a tragedy.

3 cheers for the tug driver !

Mine came with a 4 notch plate. I don't know who installed it or where it came from. It's second notch is right where #1 used to be and it's fourth...

A 160/320 is a really good upgrade for a 12. You get a nice boost in power without much weight penalty. If you go with a Niagara cooler, a 20a rear...

They were required to get the airplane to meet the pitch stability/ oscillation requirements for certification.

Yeah, I should probably go sit in the corner for a while. Bob's got the best point though, getting into the front seat almost requires stepping on...

How about the suction tube leaking where it bolts up to the back of the pump?

Sounds like my PPL checkride. I showed up in a 140 full of fuel, and this guy turned out to be huge. He gave me a prescription of short field/ soft...

Step one would be to determine the fault condition. Is it rich or lean? If it's rich, pulling the mixture out will clean it up. If lean, obviously...

To add to what Steve said, 3x3 gear has a front leg that's forward of perpendicular to the fuselage, not 90 deg. What I'm seeing in the pic looks...

If I heard correctly, Mrs. Patey broke a nail. You gotta admit, that'll make a good story after some time passes. Thank God nobody was hurt, or...

If the tread seems to be getting thicker, bottle THAT !!

Is that really a "thing"? I could have fun with that. Especially if landing on 31 Arrrh....

If it weren't for you I'd have nothing to keep me entertained here.

As does it's creator.

If I'm envisioning your wing correctly, you'd basically have to get new spars and a few new ribs, and rebuild to original configuration. I would...
