Given what I've read elsewhere I'm surprised you haven't received a letter.

The 327 isn't an ads-b transponder unless you have a GDL82 with it. FliteAware may be seeing you Mode C being translated.

Do you have Mode C? Are you showing up when near an ATC airport and the fading out until close to another ATC airport?

Why drain the oil? Lycoming sends new engines out with a few quarts of preservative oil in the crankcase. Cylinders and induction are filled with...

I doubt any instrument manufacturer will tell you to compromise the integrity of an exhaust joint. If Alcor says 2-4" I'd go with that since pretty...

Isn't LADD just a new name for the FAA's ADS-B info block? That didn't work except on a couple of tracking sites that honored the request. Lots of...

I'm not concerned about the FAA. The government can track me pretty much anywhere I go these days. I'm more concerned with the general public. The...

You can file a block request with the FAA but it won't keep your info off most internet tracking sites. Welcome to the reality of ADS-B. ...

Alcor and JPI say probe location 2”-4” from the flange. EI says 1-1/2” BUT

I ordered a pump with an intake fitting so I can compare the free air setup to a return air system.

Life is a filled with occasional mistakes. The internet is filled with folks to point them out! Ask an industrial rubber supplier about diamond...

Enjoy! Happy Thanksgiving with the new family member!

Read two posts above yours. I plan to keep the current pumps running on their lowest setting now that the humidity is purged and see how long the...

I'm curious about these closed systems and how they don't lose dry air or gain moist air through the cylinders. The pressure would need to be equal...

Dry & Dry 6# Blue Premium Indicating Silica Gel Beads- $29.99 Rifny adjustable air pump kit with dual outlet- $15.90 Quickun 3/16" hose barb...

Good suggestions. Thank you! I have a loader and a hoe. I'll see if I can finesse the levers well enough for the scale to read accurately.

Outlet air is going out the cylinders. After seeing how fast my inert gas leaked out I don't think a vent is important. I do feel some pressure...

And now hangar RH is 35%, crankcase is 10%. Crank case dew point 3.3° F. Absolute humidity 1.33 grams per cubic meter. Pretty damn dry by any...

Mine is a $10 aquarium pump, a 6# (one gallon) jar of desiccant, and a few through-bulkhead plastic fittings, all from Amazon Prime. Cost about $60...

I remembered to cover the whistle hole, thanks. Using a cheap digital hygrometer The current relative humidity in the hangar is 33%. After 11-1/2...

I "think" the attach arm will fail before the screw releases but I may be wrong. If the screw comes out the projectile is much more dangerous. Right...

I always drape a canvas tarp on ling winch lines. This will be a short line with a chunk of steel on the end. The line won't be what fails. New...

And that's why I'm motivated to test them. Ice screws are designed for sheer loads but we use them primarily in tension. I suspect the clip arm will...

How much difference on a Cessna?

My undereducated guess is it'll help on takeoffs and hurt on landings.

To tie one down? Depends on ice composition and how much wind. My 180 probably never sees higher than 40mph when tied to screws but I've never had...

I've never seen a Cub built in a linear fashion. Usually there are 4 or 5 separate things being built and you jump back and forth as time and parts...
