That is an excellent photo! Well worthy of a Terry Redlin painting, or a hunting catalog cover.

If it's being run tubeless, why would a little slippage matter?

I've heard of people having the valve stem rip out of 26" GY's at low pressure, due to the tire turning on the wheel. Need to put some monkey snot...

Everyone I know has one of these in their hangar.

I had charging issues on my last airplane. Took the alt off to take it down to auto-electric shop for testing. Checked out good. When I...

I'm assuming these were sold as fund-raisers for an airplane museum or similar? I volunteer at the Port Townsend Aero Museum in Washington. One of...

Found one!

Who can post a pic of that barbell-pumping Cub? Tried to find one online a while back but couldn't.

IMHO anybody who writes "unairworthy" in someone else's logbook is asking for a punch in the nose, or worse.

If it was me, I'd change out that 10 year old battery just because. I had some electrical issues earlier this year, changed out my 5 year old...

You might talk to Tac Aero in Hood River Oregon. They have several supercubs & do a lot of t/w training, not sure about their solo / rental policy...

That Airtruk is so goofy looking that I still have a hard time believing that it's a real airplane. :crazyeyes:

I just ordered a new thermostat for the propane foced air heat in my new-to-me 50x50 hangar. The new one goes down to 40. Warm enough to not need...

I've yet to see a video which shows / explains how to properly set the tension on the kingpin nut the first time around. It's always been a...

That has been my experience-- even with the kingpin bolt on my 3400 which seems to rock a bit in the t/w head, I had to drive it out with a hammer...

I believe the bushing you're referring to fits into the fork, not the t/w head. And it is on the exploded drawing for the 3200 series, but not the...

I always thought that kingpin bolt was a press fit, but I just watched Steve Pierce's YouTube about reassembling a 3200 & his kingpin just pops in &...

Kind of a sidetrack to this thread.... I see that The Landing Gear Works sells hub bolts (what I call the kingpin bolt), in standard size plus...

I don't understand this comment.

Everything has value to someone. Right now, somewhere, somebody is looking for a battery box just like that one.

The few jump operations I've observed seemed to have jump plane pilots that were primarily skydivers, with a pilot add-on. Definitely seemed to have...

I moved from the L.A. area to western Washington close to 30 years ago. Best thing I ever did. But although not at all severe, the winters get a...

This ad is currently running on Barnstormers. I think there's also an outfit in Montana r somewhere that does 182 TD conversions.

Only goes on one way-- well, two ways, if you count switching the prop end for end. What model 470 you running? I know a guy used to have a blue...

I agree. We had a situation at a nearby airport where a jump club moved in for the summer (actually, a couple summers in a row). The jump plane...
