Everything I know about making sausage I learned from my wife’s surrogate grandma. She turned her nose up at all the natural casings we found in the...

You guys are funny. Eating commercial sausage and you’re worried about the casing? Hell, eat the casing and toss the stuffing! I don’t eat mystery...

I hope the second airplane survived it. It isn’t inconceivable that a guy could be missing and nobody knows it yet.

If the fix is simple the seller should fix it. I wouldn’t buy it unless the engine was discounted as a core.

In my 180 I’ve added an approved gross weight increase and an approved engine-prop upgrade. Nothing in the docs say the Vx or Vy change and nothing...

Why would it be different?

This website doesn’t like something about me. Different homes, different routers, and lots of times the site stalls when loading. I change my phone...

When you build a plane that didn’t exist before the decision of the N number is almost as difficult as deciding on a paint scheme. Sorting through...

My N numbers have been factory assigned. Apparently they got blocks of N numbers for different planes and production years. My old PA-12 was 3453M...

To get to the other side. How Zen is that?

This is the best Cub and Maule door seal I've found. No leaks. I keep it in stock at the shop and in the hangar. ;) ...

Make you own as big as the tube compartments allow. My door is top hinged and I wish it was hinged on the forward vertical edge instead so it'd blow...

Because the “winners” wouldn’t win?

STOL and racing combined into one. Not the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard of but it’s on the spectrum.

I'd wager the majority of aircraft owners and operators agree with the article.

Well, I finally ordered an indicator light for the electric fuel pump so thanks to you for bringing the topic up!

You purists go ahead and pass on buying tickets. I’d love to add an FX3 to the collection!

Don’t forget to plan for a fuel pressure gauge, which means putting a sender unit in the fuel line after the mechanical pump. I didn’t do one...

Are you using their fuel filter? I didn’t and I wonder if I should. Fuel goes through a Steve’s gascolator before the high pressure pump so hopefully...

API suggests installing inside the cabin to keep it out of the heat. I didn’t want a fuel pump inside so it’s mounted on the lower right side of the...
