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. ...

I doubt you'd break the engine mounting. But, it's all about the geometry. That forward LIMIT cable is there to prevent the ski from "going over",...

And, the STC costs how much? MTV

My PeeKay B-2300s were close to that weight, but I think they were just a bit under 300. But, the B's are longer than the 2300s. MTV

Burlap sacks available at any feed store.... MTV

Propeller length is in fact a very important factor. The limiting issues are two fold: Prop clearance and prop tip speed. A prop running close to...

Just as an example, Consider a hypothetical Super Cub, on floats.....starting with a 1200 pound Cub, exchange weight of EDO 2000 floats is ~ 170...

Well, not to burst anyone's bubble when it comes to the IO-520 vs IO-550 conversions, the biggest difference is, in fact, the RATING scheme used to...

I'll second, and third that suggestion. I installed two, got rid of the vacuum system, and if I were in a Cub, I'd install an AV-30 C front and...

On any ski installation, I MUCH prefer the front cables attach at the engine mount/firewall, as opposed to the landing gear. MTV

In my PA 11 with no electrical, I used a portable handheld radio, connected to a “take off” 121.5 ELT antenna, mounted in the fuel tank cover, for...
