Back to the topic-- CF stick, seems like a lot of screwing around to save 12 ounces. Lose the back seat stick, there goes a pound. Done.

The owners manual for my 53 C180 has a graph, not a table. Hard to decipher. IMHO the table version in the 1957 model owners manual is much...

My 53 180 does not crosdfeed except in the "both" position. Ive heard of some crossfeeding in "off" but mine does not.

OTOH, I just read an accident report for a PA18 which crashed because the passenger had his feet locked down on the brakes when it landed. Plane...

A guy I know got his A&P, then his IA, several years ago. He worked at an airplane shop. He was always worried about his liability. Perhaps...

That's the best line I've heard in quite a while.

Googled it, guess it's a Hartzell. What's the difference between this one and their new Voyager?

If you think us guys based on public airports are getting a free ride, pay my hangar pad lease for a couple months & you'll have a different point...

Don't get ahead of yourself, assuming you have a problem. Here's what I would do first-- about an hour after your next flight, go to ...

FWIW my own airplane shows up on the ADSB display on my tablet from my Stratux "in" device. The altitude is usually "-125'" or similar. If my...

I'll take them. That is, if they're 40-75 wheels & 30-52 calipers, per the Cleveland STC SA63GL. PM sent. Edit Oops, looks like Pierce beat me...

I knew a guy with a later-model 182 who'd gotten into the bad habit of not removing the towbar whenever it was not actually in use. Pulled it out if...

As we all know, modern avionics are smoke operated. But when you let the smoke out, they quit working.

Dunno where you're located but TacAero in Hood River does the same kind of SC training.

Excellent video, Steve, thanks for posting!

After I researched that very thing, and found that it was not (yet) STC'd, I edited my post to make the airplane a bit more anonymous, as I dunno...

Had that done lately? A gear-leg specialist is gonna be pretty spendy-- maybe just have them magnafluxed?

You need to put the cat from your scott tailwheel videos to work on that! That 182 looks like a keeper, good luck with it Steve.

I've heard similar: "without the kit the gear legs will rip out of the gearbox, with the kit the gearbox will rip out of the airplane". I've seen...

Dunno the cause, maybe a prop strike in the past (who knows), but the master rod failed (sheared) in that W670. No good place to land but the pilot...

Continental W670's are not bulletproof.

I don't buy thius. The Continental C145/O300 has the carb bolted to the sump, just like the Lyc 320, and they are very prone to carb ice in some...

This is the data plate on N323T, which a friend of mine owns. PA-18-105-SP.

Bushwheel Bill Duncan sells a repair kit. https://www.cessnarepairs.com/ Not cheap at $3K but way less than the cessna parts. And considering...

I think the Bushwheels tire STC calls for "heavy duty brakes" on some model airplanes. Pretty vague, which in some ways is a good thing. Single...

I've always liked full stocked (aka "mannlicher stock") rifles. What is that, and what caliber? I wanted to say a Ruger 77, but the safety is...
