Love that hangar! Nice toys, too. ;)

There's a neighbor up the strip with a nice house and detached hangar. Nice place. I could adapt. Last night the wind howled at my place. Any hangar...

Technique varies with conditions. A steep approach over obstacles on a gusty crosswind day is different than a calm day to a flatlander strip. Power...

I'll test fit it when it arrives. I've never heard of one of these so am trying to learn all I can. I appreciate the comments.

It's a good book. Still available through EAA last time I looked. But for specifics? Like for the installation I'm doing now? Nothing beats the...

My valve would be scary close to my exhaust. I don't see a good solution. Perhaps leaving that port plugged is the best option. I'm looking into it....

I get that but in my induction a cup of fuel wouldn't cause any problem that I can see and should evaporate in the induction draft. I'm curious how...

Mine is a tasteful but modest house attached to a really nice big garage. The point I was trying to make is that to me? The attachment is a key...

My servo is zero leak down so a purge valve isn't used. The valve is to drain fuel that finds its way into the induction during priming. I'm not sure...

Lycoming #75444. One's on the way.

I'm not buying it. If I stage torque the bolts in sequence as directed in the overhaul manual there's no threat of sealants settling. We're talking...

Is that general practice? There's nothing in my Lycoming overhaul/maintenance manual that says to re-torque after initial assembly.

You guys made me check. I was told there will be no price increase when my policy renews in June.

Hmm. 40 years in the fire door business. Intertek certified wood and steel door fabrication. NFPA member. Very familiar with code requirements. I've...

A room with two views. ;) Sent from my iPhone using SuperCub.Org mobile app

The engine guys I've talked to say increasing compression by one adds approx 4% HP. That's what Lycoming used to rate my 390 going from 8.9-1 to...

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....
