All they need to do is re-define a few terms, like the "carriage" at issue. The court, finding no definition other than the words, had no choice but...

I just flew mine normally, which is to say, the pattern. I am now at 250 hours with no mishaps save a piece of dirt under the relief valve at ten...

It is really impolite to taxi on a busy airport with strobes on.

Thanks. No chance that I will use a starter solenoid for a master. You all covered that last year, and Wendy's story of course clinched that. ...

Parallel. Take a simple tape meaure and check front center and back center. On your tires any toe in more than about 3/4" will give you trouble. ...

Funny - they ship to me for actual postage. You have to check the correct box.

Yep. And Cub brakes as well, and Stinsons - usually folks just come to me for brake bleeding, and I safety wire that little lever forward. Steers...

Or how about when doing the pre-takeoff checklist? CIGAR TIPS?

Spruce has Aeronca caps for under $20, both vented and non-vented. Look a lot more like original Piper caps than the ones from CC and Atlee. My...

Plus, they really, really look neat! It is a little like getting a new toy when you were six!

I have to look up the zero turn lawnmower, but in the meantime have you guys seen that little $4000 radio controlled silver tank that ambles over to...

Building time and instructing? A J3 is better, and at this point a more economical choice. Instructing in the 12 is ok, but you don't have great...

Gorgeous. Show us another picture after three tach hours of flight.

Don't airless guns need air pressure? I graduated from a Binks model 18 to a Graco turbine two months ago - made a dramatic difference! I could do...

I should add to that. Sensenich makes good props - I have an airworthy prop with a 1952 overhaul sticker. The interface between metal and wood is...

We can’t answer you because the federales now want all prop work done by approved shops. But think about it -that stuff starts peeling off the...

How could a ramp check possibly have access to your 337s? As as far as I can tell, only aux. fuselage fuel tanks require that the 337 be on...

Dakota?

I do the BasicMed every year, with my family doctor (required by one of my insurance policies). I strongly recommend BasicMed to my students. There...

You can't just send a 337 in (well, you can, and nobody looks at them for validity any more) - you need "approved data." The DER may be able to...
