I worked on a big construction project at a navy base about 9 years ago. Before I came on the job, a guy walking was killed when he was run over by...

FWIW Budd Davisson's column in the March 2020 issue of Sport Aviation is all about customizing tools to fit the job.

Note to everybody-- don't forget to do the math to adjust the torque wrench to allow for the added arm of the crow's foot.

I've got 2 vacuum regulators, a Pesco and a Manning Maxwell & Moore. PM me if youre interested.

Drink the beer, then drop tbe empty bottles on him.

Me: private pilot, no advanced ratings, 3000+ hours, 3000 hrs tailwheel, 500 hours C180, airplane: 1953 C180, full coverage, $70K hull,...

I think they revised and/or eliminated the AD requiring the one-piece venturi due to that. Keep the two-piece but inspect every year.

Suggestion-- how about just removing offending posts & leave the good stuff? It's a shame to throw out the wheat with the chaff.

Many locales are ordering gun stores shut down. I don't know that I'd consider gun stores "essential"...but then again, if you order them shut...

IMHO the fish cop was overstepping his authority. The fishing ban went into effect yesterday evening march 25, this incident happened tuesday march...

A friend of mine told me yesterday that her husband & a buddy of his were gonna go fishing and got turned around by a fish cop, I assume at the boat...

Very cool airport sign!!

He left that wrench there for next time. Idiot? I think not-- that's just planning ahead.

I dug a number of 22 cartridges out of the bilge on my 180. Also found a small wrench.

OK, knocking them down to $50 shipped. The buckles & hardware ought to be worth at least that much.

Curious if you're installing a key switch with a start position or sticking with a start button. IMHO the separate button is better.

Not sure aluminum or not, mine was like Philly's-- shiney & springy. Stainless wouldn't surprise me. The Easy-Off treatment didn't seem to hurt the...

Now that is a cool picture! It reminds me of the old Star Trek back-in-time episode, be careful when you go through!

For the first (or maybe only) step in cleaning a funky heat shroud, EasyOff oven cleaner works well. Heat up the muff in the oven, spray it on,...

Just watched a buddy of mine drain a fuel tank on a PA12 with one of these. Worked fine, just slow. Even if hoses etc were extended, if you're...

This works better when you add "now we're not going to hurt each other, are we?"
