I just had a flashback to the ending of Raiders of the Lost Ark.

About 40 years ago, I worked on a construction project at the Farmer John plant in Vernon CA. The smell was horrendous. Carloads of pigs rolled in...

Years ago, a buddy installed an Apollo / UPS / Garmin com (SL40?) with a built-in 2 place intercom. Seemed to work fine, except.... whenever...

Sold, pending payment.

GDL88 price reduced down to $250.

A buddy of mine used to own a Starduster, the tail number ended in Alpha Alpha. It was easy to use on the radio, because he always just said...

Isn't the GTR200 the same model radio you've had all the trouble with, resulting in 5 pages of discussion here? Hmmm....isn't there an expression...

Back in the day, the factories were assigned blocks of tail numbers. You can often guess the year of manufacture by said tail number. For example,...

That writer has an opinion & IMHO he's entitled to express it. I see lots of people here criticizing the article, as well as it's author. Why don't...

Kinda like why some women change back to their maiden name after getting divorced. Personally I think it's silly & kinda disrespectful to change the...

GDL88 is still for sale, price reduced to $450 OBO.

Lots of good info on mixing & matching parts & converting small Continentals here. www.bowersflybaby.com/tech/fenton.html

I assume "water line" is the same as the "horizontal reference line" on Piper drawings?

The factory paperwork on my first airplane (1969 C150) showed the weight of the paint job-- I don't recall the exact number, but it wasn't...

Is it possible that the bolts are bottoming out on their shoulder? Try adding a couple washers & see if tightening will close that gap then.

I'm curious as to why landing tailwheel first is apparently such a sin? I've landed tailwheel first before, and as long as the wheels all touch down...

If / when you end up buying an airplane, if you have any doubts about the W&B being accurate (or even if you don't), I'd suggest you re-weigh it...

STOL drags? Take off, round the pylon, land.

I wish Bushliner well with this new aspect of their business. I do hope they don't grow too quickly & spread themselves too thin. I know a guy...

An airplane can make less noise than a truck or Harley going by on the highway, but guess which one the neighbors are gonna bitch about.

Best thing to do is get somebody to take off from there (once) in a C185 -- the neighbors won't even notice your SC after that.

GTX 327 is sold. GDL 88 is still available.

Any way you could provide a copy of that? On the early model 180's, besides the ground strap(s) from the engine case to the mount, there are a set...

The 470K in my C180 has never made ice when I was flying it as near as I can tell. I still do a carb heat rpm check as part of my run-up, and apply...

Sometimes I wonder just how many young men were actually victimized, and how many others are just piling on hoping to dig into some deep pockets....
