Cracks can be and are welded all the time. Most recently I’ve used Acorn. MTV

Forecast is for below zero (F) temps for lows here this weekend. Trimmed the posies yesterday......and loaded the car for winter. MTV

Randy Rubbert can make yours like new. And better, actually. MTV

I agree with Web on the circuit breakers vs fuses in small aircraft. I've had circuit breakers trip, waited a few minutes after checking systems and...

Man, it seems crazy to me that Center is kicking you over to Approach that far out. That's a lot to ask of a low powered aircraft VHF radio. And,...

John, Yes, all 2005 model Huskys have the new wing, but all were A-1Bs. All Bs had a gross weight of 2000. The C model started in 2007 or...

John, The “new wing” Husky was introduced in 2005. It was a great improvement, and not just due to the elimination of the “airodynamic...

That is a GREAT looking interior! MTV

Kydex. MTV

When I was oerating a Beaver on amphibs and a Cud on straight floats in Kodiak, I was advised by our old timer Chief of Maintenance to apply lots of...

Yes, that inactivity for several years would be a huge red flag for me. Unless they did a good job of pickling that engine, you're likely going to...

Yup, paralketone is the best plan. Otherwise, nothing special. If you do get in salt, wash down with fresh water as soon as practical. MTV

Groan.... MTV

Stewart, The OP did specify any A-1 Huskys. Those started production in late 80s. Not $300 K airplanes. MTV

I agree, and frankly, renters, as a whole, tend to treat rental aircraft somewhat different than owners treat their aircraft. I've seen too many...

Work a weight and balance on one of their airplanes......just saying. MTV

There’s no way I’d do this much work to a Cub rebuild and NOT install the gross weight STC. MTV

A 160 hp Cub will do fine with just pilot, gas and a little gear. Put a 200 pounder in the back, and you’re going to need a bit of runway, as in...

I've never propped a plane with a Catto prop, but I've propped several O-360a with MT composite propellers. That's best done wearing a glove, since...

Talent and perseverance......wheel plane pilots land long and fast all the time....seaplanes too, apparently. MTV

I've been trying for a couple of months to get a straight answer from the Forest Service as to whether it's legal to land on National Forest Lands...

Gary, That was told to me by the instrument overhauler that overhauled my old tach, when I called to whine..... They didn't give me a cite from...

The tach in my 170 took a dump. I sent it in, and had it overhauled. Came back, read 75 rpm off. So, I ordered a new one. Read 100 off right out...

And, as you have no doubt figured out, shimmy is a VIOLENT event, and hard on things besides the tailwheel. With an empty back seat, it should be...

Disassemble, clean all parts, lube and reassemble. MTV

An O-320 or O-360 is a piece of cake to prop, once you first learn how to start them. I’ve propped larger engines, but wouldn’t want to do so...
