Likely a school program? I ran one of those for seven years, not that big, but.....Students, and especially flight instructors are the WORST enemy...

What floats are those? Not Wips....and what do they weigh? MTV

You’d likely have to fabricate a single light “bucket” to hold the lights, since I think all the Pipers had the two light mounts. At least some...

Memory fades, but comes back in very short bursts..... One of the things I recall about talking to Bob at BLR about the strakes was the turbulence...

Thanks for this note. I assume this explanation also applies for why the back seat is relatively cold. I modified a blanket that extends from the...

Mike, this is a really important point. I cringe when I see some folks (particularly when they are giving kids rides) do the big pull-up on takeoff....

Both videos are helpful in understanding the aerodynamics of skid vs slip. One other point to understand is that aileron opposite the turn and power...

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...
