I'm assuming these are Lycoming studs. As I recall, the exhaust studs for small continental are coarse thread on one end (cylinder), and fine thread...

Re item 2, FWIW the txp in Martha's 180 was a model that incorporated ADS-B out. Besides the actual flying under the bridge, having that unit turned...

Yes. And like garmin, it'll either perform as hoped, or just shut down.

So I guess the methane to be harvested is produced by manure. I had read somewhere that bovine flatulence was an issue re greenhouse gasses, I...

I own a 1953 C180, and all I've got for avionics is a com radio, intercom, txp, ads-b, & G5. I've seen a number of other 180's where the owner...

I'm curious how they plan on "harvesting" the methane from the cows. I'm no dairyman, but I'm pretty sure the cows aren't gonna self-contain that...

This is kinda like repainting an airplane right before selling it. What's bound to happen is the person who wants to buy it is gonna say "gee I wish...

I've heard this kind of comment a lot, about non-approved parts ranging from alternators to batteries to tires. It is a concern to me too, so I've...

On my C180, I kept the standard aluminum breather tubing back to where it goes through the aft engine baffling, then went to rubber hose back to &...

Yes, ADS-B must be on if so equipped. FAR 91.225(f): "(f) Except as prohibited in paragraph (i)(2) of this section, each person operating an...

I worked on a solar project about 40 years ago in so california. Near Daggett, about halfway between LA & Vegas. Acres of solar mirrors that...

I disagree. Per AOPA website Where is ADS-B Out Required? - AOPA "The FAA requires ADS-B Out capability in the continental United States, in...

Seems like you could pretty easily bend an offset into that arm, and mount it flush to the case.

There was a nuclear power plant in San Onofre, Calif for many years, alongside I-5 pretty much right on the beach. Operated from 1968 til 2012....

Do you have a thread gauge? As I recall, the exhaust studs on my old Cont O-300 were coarse thread (5/16-18) on one end, and fine thread (5/16-24)...

I agree about ethanol should stand on it's own, which as I understand things it doesn't. I know of a single windmill near me, in Sequim WA-- there...

FWIW I got an email a week ago that my calendar had shipped, which included the usps tracking number. I just checked that number on the usps.com...

My first thought was an induction leak. I had the same sort of issue a couple times with my 470K-- both times, the clamps at the first rubber...

Curious if the O-200 was converted to a plain jane accessory case with no generator or starter? I understand DDM would do these-- Basically ends up...

Seems like most people who complain about airports & airplane noise do so after moving near an existing airport. Not when a new airport is built...

I was just going by what their website said.I wish these outfits wouldn't say "approved" when it's actually "approval pending".I agree, those would...

Apparently yes there is. Includes approval for 850x10, 29x10, & 31x10 tires. Grove 10 Inch Wheels & Brakes (groveaircraft.com)

Seems like a lot of big tires on skywagons are more for show than for go. As long as you're operating on airstrips, and not mud bogs or gravel bars,...

Desser 850x10? They look like McCreary / STA Airtracs to me. Unless you count their retreads, I think the only 850x10 tires Desser makes are the...

aircraft weighing; reliable or not? (supercub.org)

What Buck said. Good to see that you are thinking about your mods & how they will affect doing your W&B. I'm assuming you have a supercub, is it...

That's assuming stock leading edge & stock gear. Both are often modified, as in a cuffed leading edge & extended and/or raked gear. The nice...
