By the way, the Sutton's are a real joy to work with. It is a great family operation, and they have always been very receptive to my calls and...

Glenn, thank YOU for your advice on rigging the skis. I appreciate your expertise very much! Randy

I don't think so, but didn't take a chance....I rebuilt all the cables! Learned about swaging stainless steel cables...despite what Aircraft Spruce...

The clamp on fittings are simple and a no brainer. I wouldnt go to the time and effort to weld on fittings. But either way is not that big a...

This stuff isn’t exclusive to military. I had a C-185 fly literally right past my nose, CLOSE, inside the Fairbanks Delta airspace. Asked Tower who...

Thanks for trying. Glad to see someone else had an argument with Windows 10 today. I lost too. Take care. MTV

, Im not questioning the efficacy of the VGs under the tail. I’d suggest you visit with Penney Nixon, who did some pretty extensive flight test...

That kit was developed by Boundary Layer Air, which later sold the STC to Cub Crafters. The “strake” forward of the horizontal stab. helps keep the...

Good job, Dr. Randy! Back in the mid seventies, when I was in Cold Bay, AK, researchers from the University of Victoria came to Cold Bay mid...

Okay, but Bob, didn't you just get a flush of testosterone the first time you walked up to it....? :lol: 8)

More to the point: How did it stall? MTV

Thanks, Bob. They changed their catalog the next day after I posted. I looked again, and the price was there. MTV

Yeah, it turns out that a DC-6 up close in your windshield (in his rear view mirror in my case) is pretty interesting....Windy Pass. MTV

It might be easier to start from scratch, rather than chase the rigging you have, so to speak. It isn't rocket science. MTV

Yes, definitely re-rig the plane. Piper designed in dihedral for a reason. MTV

Yes, it’s important to understand that military aircraft are absolutely legal to be stooging around out in Class G airspace, as long as they stay...

Dan, Call the Air Force. You’re right, if they blow through traffic patterns, sooner or later, they’ll kill someone. And that won’t be pretty...

Dan, Thats a C-17, not a 130. So not a local guard plane. Nearest base operating C-17 is McChord. Call them: (253) 982-1110 seriously, they...

I've always told student pilots that if all else fails, most controllers actually understand plain English..... MTV

Static thrust certainly isnt meaningless, but it doesn’t tell the whole story. The fact is, props don’t operate in a static environment. But I...

i know, Pete, just giving you a hard time. But, that info doesn’t apply in EASA countries. They have much more restrictive regs on noise. MTV

Pete, Okay, okay, 2650 rpm...... picky, picky, picky. All our red lines were set at 2700 from Aviat.....just sayin.... And, the STC for my...

My Dad was a Navy radioman in WW II, and was very familiar with that phonetic alphabet. In one of my early jobs, our FM radios in our vehicles...

Desser's web site shows the 8.50 x 10 smooth tires "Backordered" no price given. MTV

Bert, Get in touch with MT in Germany would likely be best. As you noted the US STC states 2700 max. I don’t have a copy now. MTV

The 2500 rpm limit is a European limit for noise reduction. That prop works fine at 2700 and is approved there in US. In Germany at least, the...

Correct, you can't legally replace the required instruments in a certificated aircraft with the AV-30C except artificial horizon and DG. BUT, in a...

Cool, on the Grove site, they still say you'll need to find an approval process, such as field approval, or ?? They should update their website. ...
