That's my conundrum, too. I need to uninstall something from my Cub or accept being tracked in public. Our senators' offices were less than helpful...

Aircraft Spruce and similar aircraft hardware suppliers sell clevis pins. So do a couple of local fastener stores local to me. As far as what I...

Does it look like this? Go to Lowe's or a hardware store and buy a similar length spring. It's a very basic mechanism. And in the interim? Close the...

The ID sticker is on the top of the case. Look at your switch labels to determine top. It should be opposite the mounting tray.

Assuming no big obstacles retracting flaps will ease the trim effort. Every 180/182 driver needs to do a takeoff with full flaps and landing trim so...

Thinking for Wolf Lake. Taxiways are plowed and everything in between gets blown away. I have enough power and wing to overcome some drag from...

I parked at a public airport for 25 years. I know about fees but those aren't user fees. My house and property aren't free, nor are taxes, and I...

I got mine from Amazon.

Ranthane isn't usually used oner Polyspray, is it? It's normally a top coat over butyrate? Would that make a difference? Aerothane is the urethane...

The big money is in deveopment. Crafty guys will figure out applications. There's no economy in buying $50K Lycomings!

I treat MEK like urethanes and use a fresh air ventilator. Minimize skin contact. For anything more than a small job I do the same with lacquer. I...

My friends who flew the Capstone Project in remote western Alaska that was the predecessor of ADS-B loved it. Many still fly out there and appreciate...

Keep an eye on the relative humidity in the engine and in the storage area. My hangar has fluctuated from high 20% to low 40% relative humidity in...

Almost every locomotive and heavy mining truck we’ve seen is electric. They have big diesels on board to produce the electricity. For application of...

Covid.

Thump your chest all you want. I just stated a fact. It has nothing to do with politics. My beef is and always has been that if installed we’re...

Another idea is to connect an oil pressure gauge, remove a plug from each cylinder, and energize the starter to pre-oil with oil pressure.

I probably have the accessory case, exhaust, and carb/servo cover plates if you’d like to use them.

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.
