There is a conversion service letter that states it (the service letter) is FAA approved. Not sure it covers that exact conversion. I'll try to dig...

81 here. Sorry I pissed somebody off - it was just an opinion. 14 landings today - I plan to fly until my friends cannot get me in there any more. ...

With Web on this - there are all kinds of interconnected adjustments. Big pain in the neck even with factory cowls. I watched a pair of CC...

I think the answer is you must have permission of the owner to use an STC. Sometimes the owner will say “use my products and you may use the STC.” ...

I just applied for a field approval - Cleveland wheels and brakes presumably PMA for the PA-18, but found on a J5, complete with a 337 signed in...

Oh, this is interesting! More, please.

It is not as ugly as a Tri-Pacer. I too thought the Pacer was not really all that attractive, but then Don Lee showed me how to fly a good 160 Pacer...

I got a kick out of Steve's post. Remember that post last month where a guy was quoted $33 grand for a year's insurance coverage? Wealthy folk are...

My SL-40 ran for decades with zero problems. It has a superb RF Section. But it was in my J3 - really difficult to use memory functions, and lousy...

Not my cup of tea, but a friend just bought a Chief with a battery powered MGL comm radio - two parts, control head and separate transceiver box. It...

I had a 20 hour solo pilot survive a total engine failure over the freeway. All it takes is a little training and some awareness.

Interesting read. He did not address an aircraft with strobes only. I guess Mark has to fix his flasher?

I think I agree - but for a while there, folks were saying that if a beacon were installed it had to be on for engine start. I do not recall seeing...

Well, Callie Graphics has done amazing things for me, both with that bear and with some pretty creative model train stuff. Kind of block out what you...

Joey indicates that it flew fine before VGs, and no other changes were made. If it were my airplane and I was sure the installer had not left lead...

That's true. Relative being the operative word. Effectively they are all 3400'. Beginning students can get a Cub stopped in a thousand feet. What...

My problem is that I plan for a total engine failure on each takeoff. A stop and go at MYF, followed by an engine failure, is probably going to be...

Odd guy out. We do touch and goes, mostly full stall after the first hour. If I had 5000' of runway and nobody following me I might do full stops,...
