Rich, Nobody touches rod nuts during a top. I don't get that one. But I don't get most of what that article says.

Sadly big Continentals have been plagued with bad cylinders for a long time so changing them and having subsequent failures may be attributed to bad...

Mike Busch? https://www.savvyaviation.com/wp-content/uploads/articles_eaa/EAA_2014-06_cylinder-work-be-afraid.pdf My last couple of cylinder...

On my planes the prop is what does the important work. I'm guessing the Apex motor and reduction drive have limitations for prop weight. That's...

The roll servo is in the wing? Move it. It pulls on a cable. Where it pulls on it isn't critical. More FAA certification BS, no doubt.

Like I said earlier.... application. Back to airplanes, please?

And clearly you've never driver a gas vs equal diesel. Yawn is right. But this topic is about airplanes. High revving snowgo engine vs bigger...

Not many Peterbilts running 6.0 Chevy gas engines. Go figure.

Wow. On that point? Disagree. I've had several GMC pickups with a few different engines and there's no way a gas engine pulls like a diesel of the...

I'd guess the batch of cable. I had an aileron balance cable changed after 35 years. The replacement lasted 6 years and with not many hours. The only...

Interesting situation, Mark. I'd guess the fish spotting is the driver for the price hike? Insurance is a business expense. No airplane, no income....

Why in incompatibility? APs are pretty simple. Move controls one way or the other.

I'm from the muscle car generation. These days while I'm not a fan of the noise I am impressed by the new generation's rice rocket performance cars....

The tail is 25# heavier than I'd have guessed. What's it weigh in 3-point? Is your gear moved forward?

I'm sure those engineers know more about other types of engines than most of us do. My 4-stroke Yamaha outboard and snowgo spin at high RPMs. That...

My own Continental crank problem was metallurgy. Mine was a factory reman 0-470 back around the year 2000. Continental sent a rep to Birchwood to...

Wyze offers an exterior model. To me it looks like the same cam with a visor, but I don't know squat. Except digital cams are temperature sensitive....

I thought it was chromium. Not that it matters in this context. I didn't pay much attention to the Lycoming problem. I lost a summer for the...

IAs aren't fortune tellers. I've had a 900 hour TTSN engine break a rod. A factory reman fail at 30 hours. A different factory reman have the...

Nope, but that's a testament to archaic regulations, nothing else. Maybe someday the government will get out of the way of private owners. My Cessna...

The best aircraft spark plugs are automotive spark plugs. ;) Sent from my iPhone using SuperCub.Org mobile app

My recent experience? My biggest fear was mis-alignment of the sump gasket at the pickup gallery. Really easy to do on a hanging motor. That and that...

There's no pickup tube in a Lycoming. It's cast into the sump. If you paid for a new pickup tube? Get your money back!

Everything you read is subjective and your airplane journey will be subjective, too. The only truth an experienced aircraft owner can offer a new...

#3 on my engine is no bargain. Especially if the baffle is in place. Sent from my iPhone using SuperCub.Org mobile app

My messages are already sent. I'll follow up on those every few days. Alaska is exempt from ADS-B except in class C. It's crazy that most owners...

All I'd care about is what the STC holder requires when you buy the STC paperwork for your plane.

My airplanes require me to climb up on them. Lots of times while wearing static-happy synthetic winter clothing in what's already a static producing...
